Dark circles is a major beauty concern for most people. They can make you look tired and older than your age. The worst part about dealing with dark circles is how persistent it can be despite getting adequate sleep and improving your diet. These are the most common causes of dark circles you should know about. I decided to do something about my dark circles and consulted a dermatologist who recommended Avarta under eye cream to me. On doing some further research, I discovered that this product by Dr Reddy s is highly recommended by not only most Indian beauty and lifestyle bloggers, but also by dermatologists. I was eager to see how effective this under eye cream really is and started using it a few months back.
Using the product
Avarta under eye cream is on the expensive side. A 10ml tube costs Rs 490 and since it has to be used at least once a day, it also has to be bought very frequently, which might not be affordable for everyone. As instructed by my dermatologist, I used this under eye cream before bedtime. It is a light cream and immediately after applying it, you won t experience any soothing sensation as such. Still, as it is a highly recommended product, I continued using it. Here s a 5 minute home remedy for dark circles.
My Review
I was extremely disappointed when the 10ml tube barely lasted for two weeks. I have used other under eye creams in the past which were between 10-15ml and those products lasted for at least one month. A major con of investing in Avarta under eye cream is the quantity. Also, it is better to use it before bedtime as it can make your under eye area look slightly oily. It is easily available in most medical stores but I found using this was expensive and even exceeded my monthly budget I maintain for beauty products. If regularly used for several weeks on end, it can help in reducing your dark circles to an extent, provided you are able to get adequate sleep and also maintain a healthy diet. You could instead try these five eye masks for dark circles.
My Rating: 3/5
