Beauty fans are snapping up a 50% off deal that’s slashed Elizabeth Arden’s eye cream to just £17.50, with users saying it gets rid of dark circles and makes them look younger
Your under eyes are one of the first places that show signs of ageing or tiredness, which is why a good eye cream is an essential part of your skincare routine. One product that’s been highly praised for how effective it is is the Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Moisturising Eye Cream, which works quickly to reduce dark circles and fine lines.
Although the eye cream would usually fall more into the splurge category at £37 for a 15ml tub, LookFantastic’s beauty sale has officially started – and it’s now got 50% off. That means you can pick up the eye cream for just £17.50, making it perfect if you want to try it out and see how it works for you without making a pricey investment.

When the skin around your eyes gets dehydrated, it makes fine lines and wrinkles more pronounced and can encourage signs of ageing. Keeping them moisturised with a hydrating cream like the Elizabeth Arden one therefore keeps them plump and fuller-looking, which in turn keeps them looking youthful.
The Visible Difference Moisturising Eye Cream contains vitamin E extract, which is key to helping your skin retain moisture. This is especially important in an eye cream, as your under-eyes are one area that doesn’t naturally produce oils. It’s also more prone to dryness from cosmetics, airborne toxins and constant rubbing or touching,meaning they often end up dry and crepey-feeling.
It also contains retinyl linoleate, which is a retinol derivative that softens the appearance of fine lines and makes skin more radiant look. Peptides also help with elasticity, firmness and collagen production, whilst advanced filagrinol complex boosts your skin’s natural moisture.
The Visible Difference Moisturising Eye Cream also protects the delicate skin, and has a cooling, calming effect that’s ideal all year round, but especially in the summer months where everything from heat to hayfever can affect them. Although fine lines and wrinkles are the main issue tackled by the eye cream, it’s also been praised for its impact on dark circles, with shoppers saying it dramatically reduced theirs.
One wrote: “This product really works, hydrates, light weight, gets rid of dark circles making eyes appear more wide awake. Changed from Clinique which has always been my go to!”
Another agreed: “It’s difficult to find a straightforward moisturiser for the eye area, rather than something that tries to tighten the skin. This one is excellent. I’ve been using it for years and it is “kind” to skin, easy to apply and has instant effects. Good on lips, too!”
Whilst a third shopper said: “Makes my eyes and me feel great,look younger too!!”
Another did mention, however: “I have been using this for more than a month. I haven’t seen any improvement in my dark circles but it works fine as a moisturizer. I would be looking out for another cream that would be more effective for dark circles when I’m done with this one.”
If dark circles are your main complaint, the Mela B3 Eyes Intensive Dark Circles Corrector Powered by Melasyl from La Roche-Posay is a great alternative. Priced at £29, it contains melasyl, niacinamide, caffeine and peptides for an instantly brighter, more refreshed appearance.
Alternatively, Eucerin’s Anti-Pigment Dark Circle Illuminating Eye Care Cream, which is now £23.25 down from £31 at Boots, is great for everything from dark circles to pigmentation on your skin. It has a cooling metal applicator, and contains light-reflecting pigments to cover dark areas, Thiamidol to reduce hyperpigmentation,Hyaluronic Acid to smooth fine lines and reduce puffiness, and Oligopeptides to stimulate the skin’s collagen network.
