I could really use some help. I was diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis almost 2 years ago and it has taken a toll on my skin. I started noticing tear troughs and lines appearing under my eyes. Does anyone know of any topical or at-home products that will help with these?

I can't afford fillers/fat grafting so I really need something I can do myself. Any help would be appreciated. I feel awful. My diet is good, I get enough sleep, water is the only thing I drink and I do drink a lot of it. I think the seb derm was the cause and I would really like to improve the appearance.

I genetically, naturally developed tear troughs in my 20s and began to obsess about them in my early 30s. I even went so far as to consult a plastic surgeon. His words really stuck with me – he said “yes of course you have a tear trough deformity (which is a terrible term), but you are a beautiful woman and you need to focus on that instead.” And I’ve tried to do that the best I can. Really the only thing to correct a tear trough is to fill in the area with a filler or fat transfer. And this area is very prone to showing any errors so you have to have it done by a skilled surgeon. And if that isn’t an option, the best I can tell you is facial massage w emu oil and facial exercise seem to help the area but really it’s a lot more about acceptance and avoiding obsessing. A really good concealer can also do wonders

I have these as well. Ive been told by doctors that the under eye area is tricky. For me chemical peels or laser procedure was recommended. I went with chemical peels. It did help. Fillers are not an option for me because the skin there is so thin. Since you have dermatitis, I wouldn't recommend any chemical peels. Its important to keep the area moisturized. I know you cannot spend allot of money; but it would be best to get a doctors opinion since your skin is already irritated with the dermatitis. I don't want to recommend anything and it end up making it worse.

although dermal filler treatments are temporary solutions to filling in hallowed spaces under the eyes, it works fine for about a year. It is one of the most effective ways of correcting under eye wrinkles.You will see an immediate result that is why this is one of the most popular choices in correcting wrinkles.

Not sure if this will help, but there was a review by someone suffering psoriasis under her eyes causing lines/creases and circles, who tried using Avene's Ystheal Eye contour cream for a period of time (its got retinaldehyde formulated for the eyes) and this really helped decrease her lines and creases, and overall her eyes looked better.

So that may be worth a try, plus retinoids are good overall for skin too.
