Olay Professional Pro-X Eye Restoration Complex and Clinique All About Eyes Rich creams are designed to treat dark circles around the eyes. Olay's formula was developed by dermatologists and Procter & Gamble Beauty Scientists, according to the Olay website, who partnered with Olay to create "The Olay Professional Alliance for Skin Care Innovation." The Clinique eye cream has been ophthalmologist tested, according to Clinique.com.
Olay Ingredients
Olay Professional Pro-X Eye Restoration Complex contains a number of ingredients, including caffeine and vitamin B3. Vitamin B3 is also known as niacinamide, which is commonly used in skin care and anti-aging products, according to the Mayo Clinic. The scientific evidence on the exact benefits of the vitamin for anti-aging purposes is unclear, and more studies are needed before it can be recommended, based on information from the Mayo Clinic.
Caffeine is a newer ingredient in beauty products. It is believed to help relieve dark circles and puffiness by draining blood from vessels around the eyes, according to a CBS News report. The report claims that caffeine tightens the skin and contains acid that acts as an antioxidant.

Olay Professional Pro-X Eye Restoration Complex should be applied to your skin in the morning and in the evening, according to the Olay website.
