Dark circles can appear as under-eye bags (puffiness) or as dark, bluish discoloration beneath the eyes. They can affect people of all ages and may leave the face looking tired and older.
While underlying medical causes should be discussed with a healthcare professional, a variety of dermocosmetic products are available to help improve the visible appearance of dark circles, offering both immediate and progressive effects.
HERBAGEN recommends three products that can be incorporated into a daily skincare routine to help reduce the appearance of dark circles, under-eye bags, and expression lines.
Step 1: Target Dark Circles and Under-Eye Puffiness
In the morning, apply HERBAGEN Anti-Dark Circle & Anti-Puffiness Serum to clean skin beneath the lower eyelid and gently massage using circular motions.
The formula contains ingredients of 100% natural origin, including:
- Niosome particles containing Tetrapeptide-7, Diosmin, and Forskolin
- Snail extract
- Niacinamide
- D-Panthenol
- Viper venom
With daily use, the serum helps reduce the appearance of under-eye puffiness, fatty deposits, and dark spots around the eyes.
Step 2: Smooth the Appearance of Expression Lines
Once the serum has been fully absorbed, wait at least 20 minutes, then apply 2–3 drops of HERBAGEN Instant Lifting Gel to the under-eye area, cheekbones, and expression lines around the outer corners of the eyes.
The area where the lifting gel is applied should be completely free from oil and moisture.
After approximately 10–15 minutes, the formula begins to create a tightening sensation as the film forms, helping visibly reduce the appearance of under-eye bags and expression lines.
A fan or mini fan can be used to speed up the drying process, allowing the film to set more quickly.
For particularly pronounced under-eye bags, the gel can be reapplied after approximately 30 minutes without removing the first layer.
For a more polished finish, you can apply a foundation that is not overly moisturizing to the under-eye and wrinkle-prone areas. Wait a few minutes, then gently apply the lifting gel over the foundation.
To keep the resulting film intact, avoid touching the area beneath the eyes or applying additional cosmetic products over it.
If the film becomes damaged, remove it gently with a cotton pad moistened with water and reapply the gel.
The visible tightening and smoothing effect can last for up to approximately 14 hours.
HERBAGEN Instant Lifting Gel contains naturally derived ingredients including collagen, D-Panthenol, Centella asiatica extract, witch hazel, linden and chamomile extracts, together with film-forming agents.
Step 3: Evening Care for Dark Circles and Deeper Wrinkles
If you experience pronounced dark circles, pigmentation, or deeper wrinkles, complete your routine in the evening with targeted eye-contour care.
After removing eye makeup with HERBAGEN Cleansing Milk with Snail Extract, apply HERBAGEN Eye Contour Cream with Snail Extract.
The formula contains snail extract, a naturally derived ingredient rich in components such as allantoin, vitamins A, C and E, glycolic acid, alpha-hydroxy acids, mucopolysaccharides, proteolytic enzymes, collagen, and elastin.
With regular use, the eye cream helps:
- Reduce the visible depth of wrinkles
- Support the skin’s natural renewal process
- Improve skin radiance
- Reduce the appearance of dark circles and uneven pigmentation
Used together, these three steps provide a complete morning and evening routine designed to target dark circles, puffiness, and expression lines, while helping the delicate eye area look smoother, brighter, and more refreshed.
