'Microneedle patches help the microstructures penetrate the surface, and dissolve into the skin within 30 minutes after applying the patches. 'Hyaluronic microneedle patches are particularly good as they ensure that the maximum amount of actives are absorbed,' advises Henrik Sandstrom, product manager at Swiss Clinic. 'Treating eye bags and dark circles is dependent on the cause, but a good starting point for those who experience these as a result of fatigue, ageing and sun damage is using a mask,' says Estelle.

'I always opt for the triangle shape application because the area under your eyes typically requires more coverage to disguise dark circles and redness.' 'For concealing the under-eye area, you should choose a concealer that is one shade lighter than your natural skin tone, to lift and brighten,' says make-up artist and Collection ambassador Francesca Neill.

'Some people's eye sockets are more hollowed than others' (making rings more noticeable), whilst some ethnic groups will see more pronounced dark circles.' Why is some people's eye baggage heavier than others? 'The trait can run in families,' Estelle says. Decreasing collagen levels mean the problem gets worse as we age, creating more wrinkles and telltale eye bags, Estelle explains: 'When we get older the area directly under our eye known as the 'tear trough' deepens and due to the movement of our skin, a shadow is created.' 'This under-eye skin is thin and so the blood vessels here are closer to the skin's surface, which again, results in a darker appearance.' 'When we don't have enough sleep, our delicate under-eye skin swells and leads to a change in light diffusion, which results in darker looking skin.

'There are lots of reasons why we get dark circles and bags under the eye but the most common is fatigue and more specifically, lack of sleep,' says Bianca Estelle, medical aesthetician and founder of Bea Skincare.
