Night Nutrition® Renewal Eye Crème , by Laura Mercier is a true gem when it comes to using substances known to help with dark under eye circles by providing some basic but well known essential oils, carrier oils, and extracts. The combination of ingredients ensures nutrients can be delivered by preparing the skin with hydrating and softening agents in the first 4 ingredients.

To the company’s credit, Mango Butter and Shea Butter are blended in Night Nutrition® Renewal Eye Crème with just the right proportions of Grape Seed Oil, Olive Oil, and Hydrolyzed Rice Protein to lay one of the most holistic foundations for revitalization. Several fruit and seed extracts are added to nourish the thinnest skin found in the eye area, helping to heal and decongest the blood vessels beneath. This is bound to help alleviate the underlying causes for discoloration. Caffeine is added to help firm the area and Retinyl Palmitate is added to help support the tissues and slow the signs of aging that gravity creates.

I can see why Night Nutrition® Renewal Eye Crème is strictly for night use. Night Nutrition® Renewal Eye Crème allows the oils and butters to penetrate, easing the application of perfect concealer the next day. Most of the ingredients are too volatile for daytime as sunlight would deactivate any benefits they might have. Also, some of the ingredients might render some users more sensitive to the sun than normal, but what a wonderful way to sleep, knowing that your dark under eye circles, along with the wrinkles and lines that make them appear worse, are being taken care of by one of the better eye creams on the market.
