Dark circles & puffy eyes.

YSL Touch Eclat is a little pricy (around $40-$60, can’t remember), but it’s definitely worth it. It covers dark circles really naturally, and acts as a highlighter so the light bounces off your dark circles, making them almost disappear. I use it nearly everyday, and it’s a lifesaver when I’ve only had a few hours sleep because it makes my eyes look so awake.

Hi everyone, I am happy this topic has been brought up. Over the past 5 years i have had dark circles. I’ve looked on the internet and I am at a loss as to what to do. Has anyone been to a derm about their dark circles? I’ve been to one but he wasn’t much help at all.

My circles seem to be a discolouration of the skin under my eyes and i have racoon eyes now. So, it can’t be from visible blood vessels. Filler won’t work, so i feel as though it is my skin which may be the problem. I get the feeling i need to lighten them in some way or try to bleach the skin.

I am in desperate need of a good derm in Brisbane who can work with me on this one. I’ve had depression and don’t want to look at people since they have worsened. Hope for some help. I really really need it.

Thanks

It’s more dark circles that I’m worried about at the moment. I’m looking for an affordable product that actually works.

Also, any tips or advice besides the ‘8 eight hours of sleep’?

I guess that what you do really need is to organize your daily routine is the right way and to have more rest…I don’t think that anything else can help the problem

Try my favourite eye cream from Derma-i cosmeceuticals called Ultra Eye Care cream. Best eye cream ever! No more dark circles, puffiness or sagging skin. This eye cream is extra special because it also has Glycolic acid 2% so it’s very gentle with cleaning around your delicate eye area.

Gosh, i have the same promblem, but have found a bit of a sollution! (: the garnier eye roll on is great and has a great fresh feeling to it.

Someone asked this the other day and I looked up some great threads for them, may as well post it here as well 🙂

Hopefully they will give you a few ideas, some of the older threads have some fantastic advice 🙂

I found this tip a while back and I do this 2 x’s a week and have noticed a huge difference.

A chemical found in the potato helps lighten skin under the eye.” That chemical is catecholase; it is found abundantly in potatoes and is commonly used in cosmetics to lighten skin.

Step 1
Wash a raw potato under running water to remove any dirt.

Step 2
Use a grater to grate the potato into a pile of shreds.

Step 3
Wrap the shreds into two separate cheese cloths so that the shavings cannot get out.

Step 4
Place the cheese cloths under your eyes directly on top of the circles.

Step 5
Lie back and allow the cheese cloths to stay in your eyes for 20 minutes.

Step 6
Remove the packets and rinse your face with clean water to remove any starchy liquid residue that may have leaked out from the cheese cloths.
