Aloe vera for dark under-eye circles: how to use it and what to expect

Aloe vera is increasingly recommended for exactly this — and for good reason.

What is Aloe vera

Aloe vera hydrates, cools and soothes skin, speeding recovery after irritation and sun.

How Aloe vera helps for dark under-eye circles

Dark circles can be vascular, pigmented or caused by shadowing from contour. Aloe vera approaches the problem from a different angle: aloe vera hydrates, cools and soothes skin, speeding recovery after irritation and sun. As a result, used consistently, it gently improves the skin for dark under-eye circles.

How to use it

• Cleanse with a gentle, non-stripping product.
• Apply aloe vera to dry skin, starting 2–3 times a week.
• Seal with a moisturiser to support the barrier.
• Always use SPF 30+ in the morning.

Precautions

Its light, watery texture suits even oily skin. Care gently for the thin under-eye skin and get enough sleep.
