I have tried many products to reduce the fine lines, crow's feet and blue color below my eyes, but so far nothing worked.
I've tried organic coffee bean, marie veronique and biotherm.
Is there anything that does work or is it all scam? |

| For fine lines, you can try using copper peptides, vit c serum and/or Retin-A. Regarding the blue colour, vit c serum can sometimes help lighten the skin. They're not scams, but it does differ from person to person and not everything will work. You just have to be patient and try it out. Retin-A can sometimes take a year to show any real effects. |

Re the blue colour, I'm thinking that that is something due to a condition under the skin (veins, I guess?), not the actual skin itself. (I may be wrong though)
I've been hearing/learning more about colour correctors these days, so I'd suggest an orange corrector to neutralize the blue. They seem to be very effective at masking those types of issues! |

Skin biology is usually what people go for. Or at least, they are the "original" engineers for using copper peptides it seems (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Their products are available here on EDS. There's also a topic explaining how to properly use them and which one is best for your skin type on these forums. |

Hi Troya,
There are many threads devoted to copper peptides here at EDS. I would do a lot of research and also check out the Skin Biology website.
I think the under eye area is one of the toughest areas to treat! I've used several eye creams: DDF, Murad, Burt's Bees, Jurlique, etc. with no real improvement. I've also been using retin a for the past two years and haven't seen a lot of change with that either.
My latest "eye treatment" I'm using is Ole Henriksen's "truth is in the eyes" eye peel. It's too soon to tell if it will make any difference.
I've also done two, one-layer 12.5% TCA peels in the under eye area. No results with that -- yet. May still attempt a few more. Botox didn't make any difference either.
I think there are some other forum members who had success with Eye-Bright -- sold at Skinactives. And, an IS Clinical eye serum. I haven't tried this combo, but probably will!
Good luck in your search! Some of these products/treatments may not have worked for me, but they possibly could for you.

I was informed that rosehip oil helps with fine lines also. I am starting to get the fine lines under my eyes and I originally purchased the rosehip to use in combination with the KH for scarring, but I am starting it below my eyes now and will let you know in a month or so how that is working. I have used ROC in the past and it seems like an okay product |

If you are looking to thicken the skin
first and foremost take supplements such as msm and vitamin C.
Also I'm dermarolling, copper peptide, using glycolic acid/Retin , NiA24ssc, vitamin C 20%, and lightstim. Dermarolling is very important even what you take inside. I drink lots of dandelion tea with my green powder(sprilina, kale, spinach, etc) |

Why not try a "yellow" concealer to hide the blude blue color below your eyes? Also, you probably don't get enough sleep which is also one of the causes. Another thing is proper diet too..

| Topicals will not help improve the dark circles since its an internal issue. Bobbi Brown corrector is excellent for this though. Apply precisely only to the dark area, I find it best to step back from the mirror to do this. I also use a thin eye liner brush to apply. Then apply a concealer over it. |

There are a number of actives that can help resolve under eye issues vitamins A and C, also Vitamin E, peptide formulations. Everybody's skin is different and will react differently in regards to results.
You can also use a light Dermaroller to help the actives penetrate deeper. |
