Best Cream for Dark Circles?
I'm a 23yr old male and I've developed really bad dark circles around my eyes over the last year. Probably from stress and too much time in front of the computer. I've been looking around for some creams. I've noticed that it is recommended that they include retinol and vitamin K. I can't seem to find any good creams at local stores. What are some good creams for dark circles? Thanks.

dark circles are a result of toxins building up in that area. you can use creams, but they’re mostly for wrinkle-reduction and wont work that well. when i get them (usually following a night of boozing or not enough sleep), I close my eyes, roll them upward, and apply light pressure to the area using just my fingertips. An eye mask kept in the freezer is AmAzInG for this, too! I read that technique in one of my health mags, so it’s not bunk…it drains the toxins out of the area, allowing your skin to recoup (i know- sounds whacked, but it works)
Other than that, just make sure that you’re eating right and not getting too dehydrated. Try to get enough sleep, too. Again, buying creams for dark circles is an exercise in futility. Try this out before you spend all the money…it’ll save you.
good luck!
