Hello everyone.. long time, no see!
Last I was here, I was moaning about the dryness and darkness under my eyes.. and some pseudo wrinkles..
Ive since discovered the problem came from the face wash I was using. It was drying my skin out.. it was insane.
Shame on Clinique for selling such crap!
Anyway.. now Im back to just having dark circles. These I can deal with. Im convinced its purely genetic, and stems from A. Deep set eyes and B. Very pale skin making the circles that the olive skinned people in my family have seem more pronounced on me.
My lancome concealer works wonders on it, and it doesnt bother me otherwise, and I dont have bags, so Ill leave that alone.
But Ive lost weight, and Ive noticed that the area under my eye seems to have a slightly 'sunken' look. My left eye is worse, for some reason. In fact, if it looked like my right eye, I wouldnt be complaining right now. But the bottom part seems so THIN..
How can I plump this up? I thought about skinceuticals, but they dont ship here.
Right now, Im using Lancomes Absolue at night (eye cream only). Its supposed to lighten circles and plump the area somewhat.
When I put makeup on, I use Lancomes Renergie Yeux. This stuff is great, but isnt super long lasting on me.
I need something to build up collagen under my eyes, thicken the skin up. Any suggestions?
I use Lancomes Bi-Facil to remove my makeup, and it leaves my skin plumped and smooth.. too bad they dont do that in a cream.... no lines.. no nothing, just smooth skin. Sigh..
Lancome is easy to get here, and so is Estee Lauder.. though the latter makes me nervous, since they also make Clinique..
TIA! |

Well, from the best of my knowledge, actives like Vit C, AHAs, and copper peptides help build collagen. In this case, I think CPs might be your best bet. Maybe even a rountine of alternating a mild AHA eye cream and copper peptide products. I also read somewhere (probably here or skinbio) that CPs increase the fat under your skin; that also seems like it would be helpful in your case. Results will not be over night though, so be prepared to give it 6 months or maybe even longer before noticing results. The only quick fix I know of would be restylane. |
