Why you need to try: Clinique Even Better Eyes

I’m one of those people who has pretty damn prominent dark undereye circles even when I’ve had a solid nine hours, so hearing about Clinique’s Even Better Eyes was music to my ears. An oil-free undereye cream that reduces dark circles and brightens the eye area, it does more than just alleviate the appearance of darkness below the eyes but also comes with an added anti-ageing ingredient punch.

It’s a delicately tinted cream that gives an instant brightening effect, while anti-aging ingredients like Vitamin C work to eliminate dark circles over time. The skin-strengthening ingredients like linoleic acid and cholesterol then work to make skin less transparent, while the built in cooling massage tip breaks up puffiness. The sheer optics in the formula create an instantly brighter look for all skintones from fair to deep too, while the clever little tube of goodness has been clinically proven to visibly lighten dark circles by 30 per cent in 12 weeks and is ophthalmologist tested.

An Allure Best of Beauty winner, it’s also a joy to use as the formula is hydrating (not greasy) and cooling, and absorbs completely into skin after just a few seconds. Magic!
