Tired eyes? Looking for a firming Vitamin C eye cream that targets fine lines and dark circles?

These dark circles can begin as early as your mid-twenties, making your 20s and 30s the ideal time to invest in a brightening eye cream that utilises Vitamin C to tone and brighten.

Real people, real results
Ellie is an ambassador for Green People. An advocate for natural and organic skin care, wanted an eye cream that would help to conceal the early signs of ageing.
Fellow ambassador Lucy agrees:
If, you have sensitive eyes, here are some ingredients to look for when choosing a Vitamin C eye cream for sensitive skin. You’ll find all three in Green People’s Firming Vitamin C Eye Serum, which has been specially formulated to be kind to the delicate eye area.
Best natural ingredients for firm eyes and diminished dark circles
Vitamin C
One of the best ingredients for brightening the under-eye area is Vitamin C, and the form that Green People uses in its Firming Vitamin C Eye Serum is Ascorbyl Glucoside. A Vitamin C derivative, it converts into Vitamin C when applied to skin, which boosts collagen and helps fade fine lines.
Marshmallow
Extracted from Marshmallow Root, soothing Marshmallow helps calm redness and is oh-so-gentle on the eye. Better yet, this anti-inflammatory plant active also forms a protective barrier on the skin and helps preserve Hyaluronic Acid, making it ideal for keeping the delicate skin around the eyes feeling firm, soft, and plumped.
Pre and Postbiotics
A healthy microbiome is key to balanced skin, and for that, you need a sufficient amount of both prebiotics and postbiotics. You’ll find both in Green People’s Firming Vitamin C Eye Serum, which uses Inulin Prebiotics alongside the skin-plumping power of Bacillus Ferment Postbiotics, which is shown to boost hydration by an impressive 26% in just one hour.

More ways to target dark circles in your 20s, 30s & beyond
While a good eye cream for dark circles is an essential, you can also keep your eyes feeling fresh and firm by making healthy life choices and exercising the muscles around your eyes.
Gua Sha: You massage your neck and back when they feel weary, now give your skin around the eyes some TLC! Rubbing the eyes risks irritation, so instead, gently target the signs of tiredness by using a Gua Sha massage tool on the under-eye area.

To help you master the benefits of using a Gua Sha for dark circles, we created a short video tutorial.
Tapping: Exercises like eye yoga are great for boosting circulation in your skin, but this can also be achieved by tapping. Delicately tapping your fingers over your dark circles will not only help your skin absorb moisturisers, eye creams and serums, but it can also help boost your skin's vibrancy by increasing circulation and lymphatic flow. Give it a go!
Sleep: And of course, getting plenty of shut-eye will always guarantee a well-rested glow. To help you sleep well, Green People’s aromatherapy experts have created the dreamiest evening essential oil blend.
Time to Sleep expertly combines soothing top notes of Lavender with calming Vetiver and Frankincense, and can be used in diffusers, the bath, or as pillow drops to help you switch off and sleep well. We particularly love it combined with this aroma-bead bracelet.
