I had used so many eye creams that are available in the market to remedy dark circles underneath my eyes ( which appeared because of lack of sleep) but they only made skin around my eyes horribly dry and gave me crows' feet...So, I'd advise you not to use any eye creams - specially not the ones that have alcohol in it.
What I have been using and what actually helped me tremendously is a mixture of pure organic jojoba oil and grapeseed oil...I use it as a facial moisturizer as well as an eye moisturizer and it's just downright awesome...Make sure you apply it when your skin is still damp..

I really like the Burts Bees Royal Jelly eye cream. It moisturizes, soothes, smoothes, and nourishes the delicate skin there. I didn't want anything with harsh chemicals to "treat it." Eye Crθme - Eye Cream - Burt's Bees

I usually get a lot of samples and one that really surprised me was the Nivea Expert Eye Lift...
Aveda is another one I really liked Green Science Firming Eye cream

Yeah it is effective on some people, I think it also depends on the skin type.
I've seen that it gives instant results.
It's well worth trying!

What is this organic jojoba oil and grapeseed oil all about....? Is it a part of the oil cleansing method?

Rosehip oil.. and use Shiseido's sun protection cream for the eyes.
Choose your battles wisely.
Not everyone is worth wasting time over.

I have been using Aura Cacia oils..Below is the link to their website. I am not sure if they would be available in Europe but you can definitely find these oils by some other brands...Google is your friend - use it :-)...Just make sure it's pure and organic oil that you are getting..These can be found in apothecary/naturopath store/whole foods/shop where they sell organic stuff.
Maroush, I use a mixture of these oils as a moisturizer...Have wasted loads of money on high-end products and now I'm just sticking to natural stuff...Trust me, it's the best thing I have ever done for myself and that too, for a teeny fraction of price

I use Clinique Advanced Stop Signs Eye SPF 15, it doesn't do jack to improve the dark circles(nothing will!) but it really moisturizes and brightens the area so I like it!
