First, wash your face to remove makeup, grime, and pollutants. Choose a mild cleanser for your skin.
A little goes a long way with concentrated under-eye gels. Avoid overapplication by using a pea-sized drop.
The sensitive skin surrounding the eyes is protected by using your ring finger, which applies less pressure. Tap the gel gently on the orbital bone from inner to outer corner.
Avoid applying product near the eyes and keep it on the orbital bone. This prevents irritation and product entry into the eyes.
Apply the under-eye gel morning and night for optimum results. Over time, consistent treatment reduces dark circles.
Some under-eye gels contain vitamin C, retinol, or hyaluronic acid. For extra advantages, mix your under-eye gel with a vitamin C serum.
Sunlight can cause dark rings. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen or sunglasses to protect your eyes from UV rays during the day.
