Have you noticed increased pigmentation under your eyes? If it’s a persistent change, you may need more than a good night’s sleep to eradicate dark circles. One method of treating this issue is topical creams and serums formulated with ingredients that target skin pigmentation.
Ingredients like Vitamin K (found in our Vitamin K Serum) can help reduce dark circles under the eyes with regular application. Here is our full guide of skincare ingredients that can help you say goodbye to tired eyes and hello to a brighter, more rejuvenated appearance!
How Do You Develop Dark Circles?
There are a number of ways dark circles can appear on your face, the most common being chronological aging and genetics. Other factors like dehydration, a poor sleep pattern, too much sun, and periods of stress can also cause these circles to appear.
While they aren’t generally a health concern, many people don’t really care for the tired appearance that dark circles can give off. Rather than looking permanently exhausted day in and day out, many opt to try to reduce the pigmentation under their eyes to return to a more radiant, youthful appearance.
How Can You Treat Dark Undereyes?
If you’re not a fan of dark undereyes, there are several ways to treat this issue and restore your skin to a brighter look, including:
- Chemical peels
- Laser therapy
- Tissue fillers
- Topical eye patches, serums, and creams
At Isomers Skincare, we offer a variety of products formulated to target dark circles. If you’re experiencing this issue due to age, many of our anti-aging skincare products target this and other related skin concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, and inflammation.
The Best Skincare Ingredients for Brightening Dark Circles
If you’re feeling discouraged over the presence of dark circles, you’re in the right place. There are several skincare ingredients available that are scientifically proven to target skin pigmentation and brighten it up. Here are a few ingredients that we recommend:
Vitamin K
Vitamin K may not be as lauded as Vitamins C or D, but it’s no less powerful! This nutrient can benefit many functions in the body, including maintaining healthy bones, hair, and skin. When it comes to skincare, Vitamin K targets redness and irritation, helps firm skin thanks to its MDI complex, and helps brighten dark spots and even out your skin tone.

Haloxyl (N-Hydroxysuccinimide, Chrysin, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7)
Haloxyl is a peptide complex that helps reduce the appearance of dark circles significantly, thanks to its ability to eliminate pigment buildup below the skin. In addition to lightening the skin, it also promotes skin communication and offers a more youthful appearance.
