Struggling with dark circles? You're not the only one. Unfortunately, it's not the kind of thing that can be fixed with your standard face cream. 'Because the skin under the eyes is so sensitive, you're asking for problems if you use products with active ingredients that are meant for facial skin,' says dermatologist Courtney Rubin, MD. 'Eye creams need to be formulated a little bit differently than how you would formulate products for the rest of the face.'

Some eye creams work to brighten your under-eyes, while others work to plump up your skin with hyaluronic acid, which can treat hollow and dark under-eyes. Because puffy eyes usually accompany dark circles, some of these eye creams are even made with caffeine to assist in de-puffing, says dermatologist Marisa Garshick, MD. Below, check out the best eye creams for dark circles that can help treat a wide array of skin types, tested by skincare experts and editors.
