Dark circles are so frustrating

I know there are a ton of posts on dark circles. I've read a lot but probably just scratched the surface. I am very pale and have blue-ish circles under my eyes. It's more than just unatractive, without makeup I look seriously ill. The ONLY product that had ever really worked for me is now off the market. I used Andrea's Eye Q's 2 in 1 renewal eye patch. I recently found the ingredient list online :

POLYVINYL ALCOHOL, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, OLEAMIDO PROPYL PG-DIMONIUM CHLORIDE, VITAMIN C, CITRIC ACID, LINOLEAMIDOPROPYL PG-DIMONIUM CHLORIDE PHOSPHATE, KOJIC ACID, VITAMIN K, HONEY, SODIUM PCA, EXTRACTS OF CRANESBILL, COMFREY, ELDER FLOWER, CALENDULA, TORMENTIL, PLANTAIN, HORSETAIL, BURDOCK, AND CUCUMBER, VITAMIN E, VITAMIN A, FD&C YELLOW NO. 5, FD&C BLUE NO. 2.

They worked so well, serious improvement every time I used the patches. And it was instant gratification. I've tried many, many products since then. Nothing has come even close. I also have tried gelatin because it contains vit k, maybe a slight improvement but nothing I got too excited about. Currently I'm looking at Hydrolyze or Dermalex. I've also thought about finding as many of the same ingredients as I can on Skinactives and trying to make something myself. Don't have much experience with making things myself, so I'm a little hesitant.
I'm just very curious if anyone else ever used the Andrea's eye Q's patches and loved them as much as I did? It's really unfortunate that the only thing that ever worked for me is now unnavailable.

Hi there!

Just wondering if you already try this cream called St. Dalfour Cream? If you search this name online you got plenty of hits and review. This cream is great for skin whitening, pimples, wrinkles, allergy, yellow spotted skin, stretch marks, freckles, black heads, skin blemishes or other skin problems. I just recently using this cream for almost a month now. To tell you, I'm very happy that I found this cream because this is the answer of my pimples, scars problem. Since I arrived here in America I got lots of big pimples and I already try different kind of products but it didn't work for me. Until I found this cream last month through my friend. In 1 week of using this cream I noticed that my pimples, scars are suddenly faded. Now, I'm almost 1 month of using it and I'm totally happy with the result because my pimples is totally gone, the scars is starting to disappeared then my face is clearer and smooth.

This cream is really famous in the Philippines. But when I tried to contact many online seller from Philippines their price is really expensive without shipping included. And my friend sister from Kuwait her price is much cheaper. This cream is very small but it's really effective and within 1 week you can see the different of your skin.

Can this cream be used on the eye area, which is much thinner than the rest of our face?

No I definitely haven't tried St. Dalfour Cream. It is worth looking into. Thanks for the suggestion.

I was given a sample of the Fresh lotus eye gel and it worked on my dark circle and puffy eyes. So I bought one and has been using it - Both The dark circle and the puffiness is considerably lesser. Very Happy

I have serious dark circles and I've tried different brands of eye creams but it is just hopeless. My only hope is to maintain healthy diets and life styles: exercise, rest and drink plenty of water!

Thanks for the Teamine suggestion, I've actually looked at that product before but have yet to order. I don't know if it's true but I've found 2 products that offer money back guarantees, hydrolyze and Dermalex...maybe it's false advertising but I may give one of those a try. If I found one product that actually made my bluish circles fade then there has to be atleast a few other products out there that can do the same thing. The Andrea Eye Q's patches really worked but I just haven't found anything that has worked since those were taked off the market. Wondering if anyone else had success with the hydrolyze or dermalex?

Hi, in the label I didn't see any kind of warning not to apply on the eye area. Actually when I put this cream into my face I also apply it on my eye area and I didn't feel any problem. And so far the result is really great.
