Vitamin C eye cream for fading dark circles; don’t expect miracles.

A vitamin C eye cream with glycerin, panthenol, ceramides, and caffeine, aimed at dark circles and tired-looking under-eyes. People use it for mild brightening, but it can feel under-hydrating if you need richer eye cream coverage.

Some evidence
Vitamin C: 7 studies tested it on its own. See all 24 studies
What the studies found
- Most studies found vitamin C helped fade dark spots or patches
- Most studies in melasma found it made patches look lighter over time
- It worked about as well as glycolic acid in one study
- One study found only weak fading, and one dark-spot measure did not beat a placebo
