What causes dark circles & how to get rid of them?

  • Fatigue

  • Genetics

  • Allergies, asthma, eczema (Any condition that causes the eyes to itch)

  • Medications that cause blood vessels to dilate

  • Nutritional deficiencies

  • Sun exposure

  • Thinning skin and loss of fat and collagen that comes with aging

Treatment Options:

  • Tear trough filler

  • Platelet-Rich Plasma injections

  • Laser skin resurfacing or Microneedling

  • Visiting an allergist to gain proper management of allergies

  • Eye creams (See below for my top 5 recommendations!) are not miracle workers but they work well in adjunct to other treatments

  • Having an in person consult with an experienced provider is the best way so that they can create a treatment plan for you.

WHICH EYE CREAM IS BEST FOR ME?

Unfortunately eye creams are not magic potions, but they definitely are a great addition to your daily skincare regimen. Regular use can maintain elasticity and improve some fine lines and wrinkles. Eye creams with Vitamin C and retinols encourage thickening of collagen in an area where the skin is thin and delicate, while eye creams with caffeine are good for temporary de-puffing by constricting blood vessels in that area.

With both of those factors in mind, here are some of the best eye creams that I always recommend—

 
 

1. RetinAL Skin Therapy:
This is my favorite under eye & retinoid solution as it can be used on both your full face and under eyes. (not recommended during pregnancy/nursing).

2. Overachiever:
Is a great add on; apply before DEJ Eye Cream to help with puffiness (safe during pregnancy/nursing)

3. Revision DEJ Eye Cream:
Provides intense hydration and helps boost skin's ability to attract and retain moisture and antioxidant protection to lighten dark circles. Also great for skin laxity around the eyes - like hooding of the upper lids.
