Hi everyone - I have dark rings under my eyes and I was wondering if anyone out there could recommend a suitable product to combat this problem! Thanks.

Pumpkin,
People have had results with topical treatments like Peter Thomas Roth and DDF. Everyone is unique. What works for 1 may not work for another but in addition to playing around with topicals, I strongly suggest a liver support supplement like milk thistle. I know people that have had amazing results with this herb. Dandelion Root & Barberry Root Bark Tea are an inexpensive way to try out the effects of liver support herbs . The results I've heard of are from milk thistle though. Best used in addition with a diet filled with fresh fruits & fresh vegetables.(In natural health traditions, dark circles are often a sign of an overloaded liver.)hth Smile

I don't know whether your circles are fatigue-related, or caused by heridty, eye structure, or allergies. Therefore, I will advise the use of the FANTASTIC Cellcosmet Eye Contour Cream, which really does help under-eye darkness as well as lines. Cool

Thanks for your advice. I think my problem is probably due to the fact that I have a young baby (sleepless nights and all that!!) and the hereditary factor is creeping in there too !! I will take both of your suggestions on board. Thanks for replying.

Pumpkin,

PTR Power K Eye Rescue worked very well for me. I'm currently using the Cellcosmet Eye Contour which really is a great cream! There are a few reviews of the PTR and Cellcosmet (and the DDF one too). If you're interested in finding out more about it then do a search (right up the top of this page on the right) and have a read of some of the previous reviews. I think there was a good review of the Phytomer one as well, so that may be another option.

However, if lack of sleep is the cause of your dark circles then I'm not sure if any cream would help. Have you tried doing some cold eye compresses and perhaps some lymphatic draining face massage?

On Kelly and Regis yesterday Kelly said she was using Dr Brandt Release Cream on her face. She raved about the results of "like botox".
Has anyone here used this product? Wonder if its just a hype? The jar sells for $150.00(small fortune ! )
Happy
