“The Alastin Restorative Eye Treatment is fantastic for improving the appearance of fine lines, dark circles, and puffiness around the eyes,” Quenby Erickson, DO, a dermatologist based in Chicago, tells SELF. “These are the top three eye concerns that most people want to address and improve, which is why we recommend this product.” She also notes that it has a luxurious consistency that should feel great on your skin for the daytime or before bed. The Restorative Eye Treatment contains peptides (which you can think of as protein building blocks) and niacinamide (a form of vitamin B), both of which can “help brighten and even skin tone,” Mary L. Stevenson, MD, assistant professor in the Ronald O. Perelman Department of Dermatology at NYU Langone Health, tells SELF. Green tea and oak leaf tea extracts also contribute to this cream’s soothing, dark circle-busting effects.
