Although it’s high time I addressed the issue of under-eye bags and dark circles, writing about eye care for dudes presents a particularly exasperating problem when mixed with a magazine deadline: There’s little instant gratification, so how do I know if any of these actually work? It will take weeks to shrink the hangover luggage under my squinting greens, so take everything you read here with a grain of salt—followed by a shot of tequila, which should lead to bags under your eyes and thereby a reason to pick up one of these tubes.
A perpetual favorite, Yon-ka For Men Under Eye Gel is undoubtedly a high price to pay for puffiness, but it’s worth it. Peppermint flower, carrot, and Roman Chamomile essential oils cool, refresh, tone, and detoxify; sweet almond proteins hydrate and nourish; phyto-polyphenols from Solomon’s seal, arnica, and cypress nut combat the eye ills of a weekend bender; and phytostimulines technology from beech buds and mimosa bark extracts regenerate. It all adds up to a manly ocular martini that puts dark circles to rest—ending the zombie-chic look you’ve been inadvertently popularizing at your Monday morning meetings. www.yonka.com
