When searching the Internet for the best eye cream for dark circles, LifeCell is one of the names that crops up most. My search began after looking in the mirror one day and seeing my mother staring back at me. If that wasn’t bad enough, my mother was turning into a panda bear.

Apparently dark circles are usually an inherited trait, so with that in mind, my findings are not so unusual. What happens is, that as the blood goes through the veins just under the skin, it causes a bluish tint and the well-known bags and dark circles. Another inherited trait is transparent skin and the more transparent it is, the darker the circles look.

If your bones are deep-set, shadowing and shading are also a factor to darkness under the eyes. Putting all this together with the fact that I also have varicose veins, yet another hereditary factor, my mothers has a bit to answer to and this is why I have been frantically searching the internet to find the best cream for under eye dark circles.

However I must say that I indeed feel far more privileged to be living in this day and age, than my mothers. She had to wear glasses all the time whereas I have been lucky enough to have corrective surgery. Lasik surgery corrects both eyes in one session and you are in the consulting room no more than twenty minutes. I enjoy dressmaking and there is nothing more annoying than trying to pin a pattern to material, when your glasses are falling from your face every two minutes.

I have thoroughly investigated LifeCell and it does compare most favorably against any other skin care product for eye treatment. You see dark circles are not the only change that you notice in your skin as you get older and many of the changes around the eye can be ascribed to aging and genetics. The production of less collagen causes the skin to lose its suppleness and the loss of elasticity from the elastin fibers causes the skin to sag and wrinkle. Sun damage, exposure to pollutants and stress cause fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet. To have all this to contend with as well as puffiness and dark circles needs a really special eye care treatment.

I consider LifeCell the best eye cream for dark circles because it is specially formulated to address all these problems. It is in fact the only all-in-one product. It is a 24-hour moisturizer, a firming cream, an age spot remover, it’s a fast acting anti wrinkle cream (also the best eye cream for wrinkles as far as i’m concerned), a make-up base, a corrective eye treatment, and a lip-plumper.
