How to Get Rid of Dark Circles Under Eyes
As our skin matures, our dark circles under eyes become more common – research reveals that 80% of women experience under-eye bags at some point. If you are over 40, you might be starting to notice a darkening underneath your eyes, much in the same way as you might be finding your fine lines and wrinkles to be more prominent.
But there’s no cause for concern – Carol Joy London can help you banish those dark circles for brighter eyes and a rejuvenated under-eye area that will have everyone asking after your skincare regimen.
Discover our exclusive collagen collection and Ultimate Eye Lift duo for effective, science-backed treatments that will transform your at-home skincare ritual into an experience worthy of a five-star spa.
What causes dark circles under eyes?
Mature skin and fatigue, which often comes hand-in-hand with the menopause, are the main causes of dark circles under eyes. However, your genes may also play a part – if you have always struggled with slightly darker skin than that of your overall complexion below your eyes, your family may simply be prone to dark circles.
Regardless of your genes, everyone’s skin is thinner and more delicate under the eyes, meaning it’s more likely to change colour – in other words, if you’re dealing with dark circles under your eyes, you’re not alone.
If your skin seems even thinner than normal under your eyes, this could be due to the collagen loss that occurs during the menopause. Carol Joy London’s scientifically proven brightening skincare collection enhances your natural collagen production to provide you with a youthful complexion that boasts a natural luminosity.
Infused with collagen, these incredible products have been formulated with 15 years of skincare experience to gift you with the radiant, silky soft skin you deserve.
Dehydrated skin may be another reason for dark circles – our hydrating skincare collection is specifically formulated with Hyaluronic Acid and enriched with Golden Millet Oil to deliver intense hydration for effortlessly smooth, radiant skin that is velvet-soft to the touch.
Pair either of these skincare collections with our indulgent Ultimate Eye Lift duo as part of your regular skincare ritual and unlock spa-quality results from the comfort of your own home. Say hello to brighter under eyes and softer, firmer skin.
It's important to remember that dark circles under eyes are nothing to be concerned about – however, Carol Joy London understands that irritating discolouration can ruin a carefully curated makeup look. This is why our eyecare products are formulated as the perfect remedy for dark under-eye circles.
Our Lifting Eye Contour works in harmony with our Collagen Eye Mask to banish discolouration, smooth away crow’s feet and restore luminosity to your under-eye area, using the dual power of firming collagen and revitalising caffeine.
Our favourite remedies for dark circles
There are a number of at-home remedies you can try to reduce the appearance of dark circles under eyes. You may have heard people extol the benefits of applying cold tea bags to the under-eye area. This is in the hope that the caffeine will infuse the skin with rejuvenation – and, of course, there’s the refreshing cucumber method we all know and love.
However, the best way to ensure your dark circles really do fade away is with a regular, targeted eyecare ritual. By maintaining your skincare ritual – and indulging in frequent spa visits to enjoy advanced rejuvenation treatments, like collagen-infused facials – you can ensure your under-eye area remains smooth, bright and youthful.
Spa treatments
Stress is another contributing factor when it comes to dark circles under eyes, and one of the best ways to combat stress is with a relaxing spa day. Whether it’s your job that keeps you busy, or your family life – or perhaps both – a spa day is the ultimate salve for tired, stressed skin.
If you have a demanding lifestyle, it’s likely you often forget to prioritise yourself but stress-relief is important for both our physical and mental wellness. We’ve collated some of our favourite Carol Joy London spa treatments that will help calm your mind, while banishing those persistent dark circles to reveal a refreshed and rejuvenated complexion.

Looking after your skin at home is one of the best ways to extend the results of your under-eye dark circles treatment. Discover the best at-home remedies with the Carol Joy London seal of approval:
- (Attempt to) get enough sleep – allowing your skin enough time to repair and rejuvenate naturally.

- Try an eye mask – our Collagen Eye Masks are the perfect way to bring the experience of the spa into your home, elevating your self-care evening to truly nourish your delicate under-eye skin.
- Remember your SPF – the under-eye area is often forgotten about when it comes to sun protection, making the skin thinner and prone to damage.
- Moisturise regularly – our Everyday Moisturiser and Intense Moisturiser offer effortless hydration for smooth, radiant skin.
- Caffeine – no, not in your coffee but in your eye cream! Our Lifting Eye Contour is expertly formulated with revitalising caffeine to reawaken your under-eye area.
Finally, if you need an instant pick-me-up while on-the-go, simply spritz our Pure Collagen Spray over your face and closed eyes to banish dull skin and awaken tired eyes.
