oh yeah the coverup isnt the problem.. i just hate putting so much on.. wish i could get rid of it.. or at LEAST some of it!!

have u done that before? does it really help?

Yes. It seemed to work better when I used the Vitamin E with it also.

You may even want to see your dr. for a checkup. Sometimes dark circles can be a sign of a medical problem. Then again, it could just be heriditary.

hmm okay thanks~ i think it could be hereditary cuz ive had it since like 9th grade or something but no one in my family has it.. i dont think its a medical problem cuz im fine on checkups and blood tests...etc.. have no idea what caused it cuz i never smoke, do drugs, and hardly drink.. i just want it gone!!! or at least partially!! :P

A couple other things I thought of. Watch your salt intake, that can cause the eyes to be puffy. Also, if you try a creme under your eyes with Vitamin K, make sure it also has retinol. The two work better together.

oh thanks.. i had blood tests done and everything was normal but my sodium intake was the highest but still considered to be "normal" but close to the border of high.. i should i need to stop sprinkling everything with salt

so far i cant find any cremes with vitamin K in it~ all the cremes ive used and tried didnt say anything about vitamin K

Well, if not for they puffy eyes.........do it for your blood pressure...less salt

i have the same problem and it looks terrible.. i feel like crap.. some days
darker than others..makes me look old... and there is nothing that helps
it... you can even see them in pictures... yuck.... i must say, that i dont
sleep very well, that could be it and smoking, but im trying to quit because
of the way ive been looking lately.... im probably going to a dermatologist
real soon , maybe he can suggest something..

yeah i saw it but im hesitant to try it again.. cuz usually someone says like "oh i didnt try it but my "FRIEND" says its great" then i buy it and it does nothing.. im not saying ur friend is lying or anything but it just makes me more hesitant to buy something.. im looking up reviews for it and if enough people say it works then i'll get it! thanks

Have you checked your sugar level. Your salt intake should be cut down. My mom is borderline diabetic and when her sugar levels are getting bad her eyes get very dark.

One time hubby had darker circles and he bought this under eye treatment from St. Ives from CVS or one of them and it did noticeably lighten up the area.
