With all due respect, I’m so tired of people saying get more sleep. Drink more water, etc… I could sleep 12 hours a night and drink a gallon of water a day…I’d still have dark circles. I’m not tired, I’m not a drinker, I take care of my skin, etc… also I’m blonde and blue eyed. I’ve had dark circles since I was a toddler. Ive tried everything. Nothing works. Nothing. 🤷🏼‍♀️ get a good concealer! 😂

I’m using a red light laser and it has helped quite a bit. The only thing is you can only use it for a few minutes each day. I also follow her recommendations for lifting the head at night trying to get enough sleep, which is a challenge when you’re older and hydration. I also take turmeric supplements. 1000 mg a day, and I put turmeric in most of my food.

My under eye circles are purely genetic but have been recently exacerbated because of medical school. I’ve learned to love it

Apparently the vasoconstricting properties of the phenylephrine in hemorrhoid creams like Preparation H work by reducing the amount of blood flow to the area

Sip some water keep it in your mouth, then splash water on your closed eyes slowly not hard 5 times, then spit the water do it again 3 times as soon you get up & at the time of going to bed, don't wipe your face hard particularly your eyes, just pat, I ve tried found it useful. In fact it helps to improve your sleep habits, keeps your eyes fresh also after whole day of exposure to mobiles, computers laptop etc.

Greetings, I’m an African American with a darker complexion than you, I have had dark circles under my eyes for years I have asked all of my eye doctors what the problem is assuming it was diet I am perpetually bloodshot and don’t know how to remedy that my optometrist believes that I just have more blood vessels than most people and that’s why my eyes are red all the time I was really hoping being that you are a person of color would have a remedy for me that the conventional doctors haven’t a clue.
Thank you

Hi! So I am a 13 years old and I have terrible dark circles. I get 8-10 hours of sleep every single night. I’m tan and my skin looks like caramel. There is one thing I do know. I don’t drink as much water as I should be. But on days I drink a lot of water, nothing changes. Do you think you could please tell me what you think could help?Oh! And idk if this helps I have asthma too but idk if that is related to dark circles. Edit: Just wanted to say thanks for all the tips and I’m really glad lots of people feel the same way, thanks for the help it’s really been helping!!

I wish you would have gone into how to prepare the coffee or tumeric eye treatments to put under eyes.

[MDFI]

As some who suffers from RA and a few other autoimmune diseases, please make a video about Tumeric

[mariannesanada]

I've tried many eye creams and only dermal md under eye serum actually does seem to smooth out the fine lines around my eyes that are starting. It's a cross between a cream and a gel which I actually really like.

[RitaSantos-nber]

Castor oil or Oleo de Ricinio really works for me!!!! Like magic.

[czqrytt]

I have had increasing dark circles for many years and now I have blood pooling under my eyes, it is horrible!!

[taylormillen]

DR, THANK YOU THANK the cold green tea bags for 10min daily has removed my super dark circles🎉 i started seeing the darkness receding after week 2. It was completely gone by 2.5mos. Now i will invest in castor oil for moisture and make sure those dark circles never ever come back❤️

[CamilaSaurus]

I almost purchased an eye cream for dark circles, but had a feeling turmeric might work instead! Please do make that video 😀
