Angela Scanlon has revealed one of her go-to skincare products for tackling dark circles and brightening the under-eye area: the Erborian CC Cream, priced at just £20. The Korean beauty favourite is known for its lightweight, hydrating formula that adapts to the skin tone.
Why the Under-Eye Area Needs Special Care
The skin under the eyes is thinner and does not produce oil naturally, making it prone to dryness, puffiness, and early fine lines. Angela Scanlon shared the CC Cream in a recent skincare Q&A, demonstrating how quickly and effectively it works to diminish dark circles.
Erborian CC Cream: Key Features
- Adaptive Colour Technology: Encapsulated pigments burst upon application, blending seamlessly with the skin for a natural finish.
- SPF30 Protection: Shields against UV rays that accelerate ageing.
- Hydrating Ingredients: Contains hyaluronic acid to plump and reduce fine lines, plus centella asiatica to soothe and moisturise.
- Six Shades Available: Suitable for a range of skin tones.
The CC Cream is ideal for spring and summer, as it addresses multiple issues: dry eyes, puffy hayfever symptoms, and dark circles from restless nights. It is suitable for all skin types and offers a ‘hydrating not heavy’ finish.
Alternative Options for Colour Correction
For those seeking more targeted colour correction, Huda Beauty’s FAUXFILTER Color Corrector Mini (£14) neutralises blue undertones with orange shades. Meanwhile, the NARS Light Reflecting Eye Brightener (£29.50) provides sheer buildable coverage and nourishes the skin.
User Reviews
The Erborian CC Cream has earned a 4.7-star rating. One user said: “I suffer with sensitive skin but have found CC to be gentle enough not to cause any breakout and provides lovely smooth coverage.” Another noted: “The product is hydrating but not too heavy and easy to apply evenly across the face. The only downside is I haven’t been able to find the right natural shade for me.” A third reviewer advised: “Shade Caramel is ideal for my medium Indian skin tone, but watch out as it can appear too dark if too many layers are applied.”
