Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Dark circles are a common bugbear and can occur for many reasons. They can be genetic or the result of a poor night’s sleep, either way, we’d prefer to look bright-eyed and refreshed every morning. While it would be easy to layer on a full-coverage concealer, it’s much more efficient to tackle dark circles within your skincare routine and luckily, there are plenty of ingredients at your disposal in eye creams, balms and serums.

When it comes to picking the right one, there are a few factors to consider, including texture, consistency, how fast it will absorb and if you can comfortably wear it beneath make-up – not to mention the thousands of eye creams on the market to choose from.

Don’t worry however, we’ve done the hard work for you and put plenty of eye creams to the test to find the one that tackles dark circles the best. Enter this top-rated eye cream, which our writer was so impressed with that they gave it a five-star rating.

They had nothing but praise for its lightweight texture that doesn’t feel greasy and its colour-correcting peach pigment that “improved the appearance of blue and brown dark circles”.

If you’ve been looking for the best eye cream, you can now call off the search because this La Roche-Posay formula took the top spot in our review, scoring an impressive five-star rating.

The metal applicator tip impressed our reviewer, who said: “When we popped the metal tip straight onto our skin, we felt and saw an initial improvement to puffiness.” It’s “light and gentle on skin, which would appeal if you’re not a fan of thick eye creams”, they added. The formula is rich in niacinamide, shea butter and caffeine, all of which make a marked difference to the under-eye area.
