Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Circle Perfector SPF 30
£29, Kiehl’s stores and kiehls.co.uk
More of a concealer than an eye cream, this tinted formula is light enough to apply all over the delicate eye area to hide dark circles and brighten the skin. The eyes look younger and more rested – and like a lot of Kiehl’s products, it contains a high SPF.
