While some people believe in using eye creams to get rid of dark circles and puffiness, others simply slather on some moisturiser. But since the eyelid skin is the thinnest and most sensitive skin on your body, it is more prone to irritation and a moisturiser just won't cut it. While you should get a good night's sleep and stay hydrated to avoid eye bags and dark circles, you can also try out these under eye creams to nourish and soothe your eyes.

When it comes to eye creams, they are usually thicker than moisturisers and have a higher amount of oil. Some key ingredients to look for are hyaluronic acid, which hydrates the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, collagen-building peptides, caffeine to reduce puffiness, vitamin C to brighten the skin, and retinol to even out pigmentation.
