I am new to this site, It is just wonderful, been reading for many hours. I have very thin undereye skin, I used to have very dark undereye circles for a very long time, I tried the Gelatin Circle Buster receipe, It has helped a lot, alomost 60% gone. I apply it everyday for 30 minutes. since this area is becoming light, skin is very thin, lots of lines and crows feet are noticable. Please help!! Smile

Hello babydoll07,
Are you saying that your previous eye cream took cared of the dark under-eye circles well and now you need something that can increase the thickness ? Retinol products do help thicken the skin but you have to start with low percentage around the eye area. If you are into DIY products, I think Katee's Eye Potion includes ingredients that help thicken eye skin too. Do a search on the forum.
I hope this helps.
Btw, welcome wave

Hi, thanks!! Nothing ever helped with the Dark circles, except Gelatin. I will do a search for that thread. Is there any where to get Retinol higher percentage than the oridnary creams? Confused

One more thing any DIY lightening creams that one can make to have a lighter skintone? Question

Well done on improving your dark circles problem!

As Wild Cat wrote, I'd be very careful about using too strong a retinol product at first. Definitely best to build up gradually from a small amount applied occasionally. Otherwise, you could end up drying out your undereye area and making it irritated and even more wrinkly-looking.

Try a search on Avene Ystheal. That's a popular one around here.

Hi babydoll,

I wasn't looking for a thickening effect, but i found that PSF stimucoll C eye serum thickened my lids quite a bit that i had to stop using it on my upper lids.

I didn't pay much attention to my undereye area but imagined the same thing happened except i didn't stick with it long enough to notice the bottom thickening. I am starting to use the stimucoll c again so i will let you know if i see any effects.

Hi!!!Thanks Everyone!! Is there any DIY recipe one can make to increase the collagen in this area? I see CareKate has posted very helpful inof in this forrum, Is there anything she can make or look into it? I am going to start with low retinol cream first. When I laugh the wrinkles around my eyes are many, that worries me.

OMG, I'm exactly like you. So I need to pay attention to this thread! Hopefully there'll be more good advice.
