Creams are not miracle workers, you need to get enough sleep, drink plenty of water and have a healthy diet. That said if dark circles is your main concern the formula of Dr. Weil for Origins Mega-Bright Dark Circle Minimizer (£32.00) is the best for treating the problem. As well as being easily absorbed it has a slight tint to help radiance return to the skin. Vitamin-C rich Rosa Roxburghii and Japanese Ume and Molasses are active ingredients in this brightening formula.

The bareMinerals Renew & Hydrate Eye cream (£23.00) is really moisturising, keeps the wrinkles away, and absorbs easily. It’s a great all-rounder.

When the Dr Murad Instant Radiance Eye Cream (£49.50) came out promising to minimise the appearance of dark circles by 30 per cent in 15 minutes, I thought that even for them this would be some tall order. Their cream actually works and with continued use it just gets better and better. It improves the smoothness off skin by 48 per cent by one application. – Chrissy Iley.

Shiseido Benefiance WrinkleResist24 Eye Contour Cream (£54.00) is most effective for really dry skin and if you are developing crow’s feet, treat your wrinkles with this rich cream especially at night when you are not diluting with any make up.

Circadia Emergency Eye Lift is your instant wake-me-up eye treatment gel. Pat around eye area and you feel immediately like your eyes are opening up more. This immediate skin-tightening effect and long-term firming effect, stimulates the production of collagen. This one comes recommended by our skincare expert Nataylia Robinson.
