My dark undereye circles are extreme, but they bother me. I am able to do a pretty good job of concealing them, but I would like to get rid of them all together! Does anyone have anything that they have used that actually works?

I have dark circles and the only time they were ever "gone" was when I quit caffine and drank lots of water. I did that for about 6 months and they were gone....I love my morning/day/pm coffee so that didnt last very long.

I have been having good results with Clinique All About Eyes Rich.

it might sound so unlucky, but I've had dark cricle when I was four.

I think the best way to get rid of dark circle is to get plenty of sleep.

The only thing I feel helps a bit is Chanel's whitening line's eye cream(sorry, couldn't remember the name)

Nothing really worked for me. I agree, plenty of sleep helps tons!! I need more sleep..

I have read some good things about PSF products for dark circles and I believe these are sold on EDS. I use DCX from Skincarecentral.net and think it has helped, although not eliminated, my dark circles.

The best way is sleeping!

nothing seems to work for me as well. I've used quite a few products but nothing seems to lighten them. Sleeping doesn't do for me as well coz I can sleep the whole day without my dark circles lightening any bit! My best way is to use eye mask occasionally but still I am looking for good eye creams & mask...

Depending on what they're from, sleep may not affect them. Do you know what they are? Pigmented? Thin skin showing color underneath? Shadows? Hollows? All different.

I have had good luck with Illumineyes eye serum by Ice Elements. There is also a Vitamin K eye spa treatment in the DIY section of the board that uses knox gelatin and water.

Take care.

Bosoxy, you've just given me hope. I just started using this serum this week. When did you start seeing results? I do like how little serum is required to cover both my eyes (including the eyelids).

Hi Yen!

For myself I saw results pretty quickly as I don't have a huge problem with dark circles... and now I use it only when I need it, and then for 1 - 3 days at a time.

I think that most people would see some sort of results pretty quickly, within a couple of weeks.

The Illumineyes serum can also be used on any dark spots on the skin. I have not used it for this but have heard that others have has good results with other areas of the face and hands.

If you ask on the http://iceelements.com message board you will get plenty of responses from people on how it worked and how they use it.

There were a couple of women who were talking about using it on dark spots on the inside of the nose by the inner eye... and were being careful with application to not get it in the eye and were having great results without any sensitivity problems.

Good luck to you!
Bosoxy.

Hi Bosoxy! So far, I like the consistency of this serum and the fact that it hasn't gotten into my eyes yet. I'm already a member of the Ice Elements Forum (username Lammie). Very Happy

I will be sure to post my review soon. Thanks!

free skin care · Tue Mar 27, 2007 7:31 pm

Ohhhh, I know Lammie! Laughing

I agree that the consistency is really nice... and it just lasts forever!

There were some posts a couple of months back where people were talking about all of the hidden uses of the Illumineyes serum, like using it on the nose to mouth and "11" lines. With the introduction of the Edelweiss serum not too long ago, I am not sure if anyone is still using it for the other things or not...

Take care.
Bosoxy.

Wow...so many uses for this serum. I will keep them in mind. Right now, I just need to lighten up those annoying dark circles.
Thanks for the suggestions Bosoxy. See you soon on the Ice Elements Forum. Laughing

My mom has been using Cellular Skin RX Eye Bright Serum -- it is available at the Essential Day Spa.

I think it's basically the same as DCX and it has been working for her - her undereye circles have lightened.

She has been using this in combination with Diana Yvonne Kojic Acid and Wildberry Serum.

On MUA, people have been commenting also that DMAE helps dark undereye circles.
