Recommend something for dark circles

rrboxer · #1 30th July 2012, 03:26 PM

Hello there Everyone,

We went out for steak lunch today and as I was in the ladies room I noticed how bad my dark circles have become. I wasn't wearing any foundation except for blush and eyeshadow. Today I noticed they were pretty bad probably because I was wearing my contacts instead of my glasses. So wondering if there a cream or something that someone knows of that will really work. I hate to go to cosmestic counter because most of those girls are young and not experiencing any dark circles so how do they really know. If I'm going to drop more than $70 dollars then I want to know its going to work. Any positive suggestions would help! :0)

I keep seeing a commercial for a cream for this and puffiness. I can't for the live of me remember what it's called, but seen it as a recommend in several beauty mags. I am considering getting some myself.

If I remember I will post it.

Here's one I found that has excellent reviews:

The Dermagist Eye Revolution Gel

Dermagist reviews - Is dermagist a scam? Read praise and complaints.

Here's an independent review of eye gels and their ratings:

Thanks for bringing this up, as I am going to order this get this week yet. It seems to work and impressed the reviewers - I can always send it back if no results. But does seem to have great potential!

I just watched an episode on Dr. Phil about dark circles and home remedies. ~TEA BAGS~. Not herbal ones but full of caffine. Black or green teas. You are supposed to wet them and put in a baggie in the fridge over night to get really cold. Then place them on your dark circles for about 15 mins at a time, he said to set a timer because you shouldn't open your eyes with bags on them. You can do it as often as you like and refridgerate after each use to keep cold. Every so often you can change out the tea bags for new ones. Cheaper than going to cosmetic counters, lol. The women on the show said it was a miracle cure! Good luck

Warm tea bags also help with relieving the pain and swelling from styes. People have been around for a long time before cosmetics and western medicine. The older I get, the more I want to visit a witch doctor who can cure all kinds of ailments with natures gifts.

Off to buy some tea bags!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

Thank you ladies I'll check out those eye gel reviews and I'll try using those tea bags as well. I don't mind getting older as its part of the the cycle of life. I just don't want those circles to look so bad and I'd like to look somewhat nice as I grow older. :0)
