Kiehl's Powerful-Strength Dark Circle-Reducing Vitamin C Eye Serum Dupes & Cheaper Alternatives

A vitamin C eye crème with a yellow tint and a moisturizing, emollient base. It suits people chasing a brighter-looking under-eye and some makeup-like color correction. Sensitive or very dry, flaky under-eyes can find it irritating or drying.

A vitamin C eye gel designed to mildly reduce puffiness and brighten dark circles. It's best for users with mild under-eye concerns, including genetic puffiness, using it a few times weekly. Results are subtle, so don't expect dramatic transformation.

A retinol eye cream that people use under the eyes for wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles. It’s the gentler around-eye retinoid many reach for when tretinoin feels too harsh. Still, some users get stinging, dryness, or darker-looking under-eyes.
