The skin under the eyes is thin and rich in micro-capillaries, making it sensitive to fatigue, dehydration, and pigment accumulation. LE PURE’s treatments for dark circles deliver lipid- and water-soluble plant actives that optimise microcirculation and reinforce the skin barrier.
These potent medicinal plants reduce dark tones and fatigue, leaving the eye contour firmer, smoother, and naturally radiant.
Scientific evidence supports the use of certain plant extracts in improving skin tone and microcirculation.
Centaurea (Corn flower), Pueraria (Kudzu), Euphrasia (Eyebright), and Simmondsia (Jojoba) demonstrate antioxidant, soothing, circulation-stimulating and pigment-modulating properties that may help reduce visible darkness and restore radiance to the under-eye area when combined in balanced formulations.

Dark circles appear for many reasons, often combining genetic, lifestyle, and age-related factors. Fatigue, dehydration, unbalanced nutrition, long screen hours, or excess salt, and alcohol can slow circulation and accentuate shadows, while the natural loss of collagen and fat over time makes the skin thinner and more translucent.
To address them effectively, it is essential to understand their origin. Below are the three main types of dark circles and how each can be improved through targeted care and medicinal plant actives:
Vascular dark circles are linked to reduced microcirculation and visible blood vessels beneath the thin under-eye skin. They often appear bluish or purplish, are more noticeable in the morning, and improve with movement, hydration, or better sleep.
When circulation slows, oxygen delivery to the tissue decreases, creating a dull or shadowed tone.
Regular use of Lumière Éternelle and Eye Euphoria supports the natural drainage and vitality of the eye contour. The combination of circulation-stimulating plants such as Euphrasia and Centaurea with nourishing lipids from Simmondsia strengthens capillaries and restores skin suppleness.
Integrating gentle lymphatic massage, hydration, and balanced rest further enhances results. This daily ritual revives microcirculation, reduces puffiness, and reveals a brighter, rested looking eye contour.
Pigmented dark circles are caused by excess melanin — the natural pigment that gives skin its color — accumulating in the thin skin around the eyes. This type of darkness doesn’t change much during the day and can affect all skin tones, though it’s more common in medium to darker skin.
Consistent use of the LE PURE Eye Contour Care Treatment together with biological sun protection forms a complete defence and regeneration system for the eye area.
During periods of high UV index, Zen Solaire SPF 20 provides broad-spectrum protection while preventing photo-pigmentation and oxidative stress. In lower UV periods, the Perfecting Illumination makeup cream maintains antioxidant and UV protection thanks to its natural mineral and photoprotective plant nutrients.
Combined with the products of the Eye Set – Lumière Éternelle and Eye Euphoria- , this ritual restores elasticity, supports microcirculation, helps to fade existing shadow and prevents the formation of new pigmentation.
Structural hollows, or tear troughs, result from the bone structure and gradual loss of collagen, fat, and elasticity beneath the eyes.
They create a shadow effect that may look like a dark circle, especially under direct light. While these are largely anatomical, skin resilience and tone play a major role in their visual depth.
The LE PURE Eye Contour Ritual — Eye Euphoria and Lumière Éternelle — replenishes the skin with lipid antioxidants, phyto-ceramides, and collagen-supporting plant actives to visibly smooth and firm the eye contour.
Regular use helps reduce the perception of shadows by improving tone and elasticity. For enhanced prevention, the combination with Zen Solaire or Perfecting Illumination provides antioxidant and photoprotective nutrients that protect collagen integrity, maintaining a youthful, luminous appearance.
Apply a lighter shade of Perfecting Illumination on the hollow area to softly reflect light and diminish the appearance of shadows.
