At this age, you may begin to see some signs of ageing which include hyperpigmentation and sullen, dark rings under the eyes. In your late 30s, you may also start to see some fine lines and textural changes. For those who can tolerate them, use retinol-based treatments to help to increase cell turnover and resurface your skin overnight.

In your 40s, dark eye circles become more prominent alongside deeper set wrinkles. Look for concentrated products which really target the area, and layer serums on top of more hydrating eye creams. Antioxidant-rich creams with ingredients like vitamin A, C, and E can also help to ward off free-radicals and support collagen production.

The same guideline for the above applies crucially at this age. As we age, the skin around our eyelids tends to droop and loosen because our bodies produce less collagen. That’s where this good stuff comes in.
