How to get rid of dark circles and the best eye creams for 2020

The most common issue that I faced is with dark circles. They are just annoying when you see them, you should not care what people think but when you look yourself in the mirror, you should feel happy.

Some dark circles are justifiable, like the ones that you get after a late night or less sleep. Some happen after depression or being stressed for a long time and there are some for which you don’t know the reason. Seeing a dark circle around your eyes will make you think – What’s wrong with me, I have had a good night sleep, I eat right.

I was one of the people who did not know why I have dark circles, they weren’t there a year ago and I changed nothing in my lifestyle but here they are, making me miserable every time I see it in the mirror or talk to my friends and family over video call and they start asking questions like are you sleeping enough? Are you stressed or something is bothering you. The answer is no of-course!!! I sleep for long hours and still be sleepy.
So as any other person would do I went to my beautician and asked for help, she suggested an eye cream and did some eye rejuvenating masks and stuff. I applied the cream for 3 months, no change. I went on holiday and it was becoming darker. After coming back I took it upon myself to change this and so I started doing a few things which I will mention further and also the creams I tried.

Firstly I tried the turmeric pack method, here is the link – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1dh9x9zLcQ It worked for a few days and I was noticing some difference, but it was too tedious.
Along with the above, I started applying the Ole Henriksen Banana brightening eye cream in the morning. I could see the immediate results of the area being lightened.
And Olay Regenerist in the night, this is also very good and helps in diminishing dark circles. the eye looks brightened immediately.

I used to apply two eye cream as I was too desperate for these dark circles to fade but you don’t do it. World’s best eye cream – Estee Lauder Advance Night repair will make you’re under eye so smooth that you will forget you ever had lines or roughness.

I also tried the baking soda method, I know this is harmful as per some Doctors so please follow at your own risk, but this helped me and made my skin very soft around the eyes but I left it after a month as well coz it was very tedious.


It is very essential to find out why you have dark circles, after trying multiple products and methods I found out that my eyes were getting dark due to the warming of my eyes and using cold compress helped me get rid of the same. As I never followed any particular regime and was only using moisturizers all my life I introduced the seven-step skincare routine for around 3 months and moved to 10 step Korean Beauty routine and this is when my skin immediately improved and my dark circles faded slowly. They are light enough now that I don’t have to cover them with makeup. It was a long six-month journey, but I am very happy now.
Please remember no eye cream will give you instant results and you need to wait for a few weeks to see the results. Let’s discuss each eye cream in detail below.

1. Ole Henriksen

This cream is perfect to brighten your dark circles instantly for a day look under makeup, continuous use of this cream will fade them away and your eyes will look fresher every day. It is very effective and shows results within a few weeks. You can use this under your make up because it’s finished look is smooth and non-oily and feels very light when applied.

2. Olay Illuminating Eyes

Olay is in the beauty market for a good reason, their products are highly effective. This particular cream removes your dark circles and brightens them eventually, I would not suggest using this under makeup as the eyes might look a bit greyish. It leaves a white line sometimes if not massaged properly into the eye.

I prefer to use this in the night time before moisturiser to work away while I sleep.

3. Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Synchronized Complex

This is the most loved cream of all time and has amazing results. There are lots of loyal customers of this product and there is a reason for it. It works wonders on your skin and starts showing results within a few days of applying. The under-eye area becomes extremely smooth and the lines will start disappearing and the eye becomes brighter with each use.

4. CeraVe Reparative Eye Cream

Best budget-friendly cream and very effective as well. This is best for people with sensitive skin around their eyes, it works on also resolving issues of dehydrated skin and fixes any older damages. If you have just started noticing dark circles then this should be your go-to cream.

5. C-Tango™ Multivitamin Eye Cream

This is the most expensive on my list but it’s worth the money, as our skin does lack a number of vitamins, it starts becoming dull and dehydrated. you will also see the first signs of ageing around your eyes and that is why it’s very important to give your skin what it needs. This multivitamin eye cream helps to get all those vitamins back to your skin and start lightening up.

Hope you enjoyed reading this review and try some of these products, Sincerely after using all of these products myself, I feel happy to share this with you. My eyes look much refreshed now and it makes me feel beautiful again.
