Well, it's been two weeks since I've used this
eye cream (bought at this site) and I have not seen much improvement yet.
I had a blepharoplasty a month for my under eye lids a month ago and my under eye circles are terrible, and had to try something with vitamin K.
I am desperate, my eye circles are so bad, I don't know what else to try. |

This is in the DIY recipe index but it is really simple and very inexpensive, it's been posted elsewhere on the forum and many have had great results. It helps on the first use but continued use just keeps helping make it better.

Darren's (aka: pbsadhaka) homemade Dark Eye Circle's Buster:

OK. Here is a gift to all you dark circled eyed gals out there. You asked for something to get rid of dark circles - here is a homemade Circle Buster recipe:
Go to your grocery store. Buy a box of regular, old fashioned unflavored gelatin (Knox, for example)
Take a small cup or bowl and put in 1/4 teaspoon of the gelatin mix. Add 1 Tablespoon of boiling water & stir for a minute.
Test it on your wrist to make sure it is not too hot. Then, using a cotton ball, pat it under your eyes as you would an eye cream or gel. Go lie down and listen to some music, or take a bath & let it stay on for at least 30 minutes. Then just rinse it off.
I worked in a day spa & this was our "Circle Buster" Treatment. Gelatin is very high in Vitamin K & Biotin. It will not remove your circles on the first application (but you will notice a difference), but if you do it daily for a week, and then 2-3 times a week for maintenance, you should notice a drastic reduction in dark circles.
The day spa where I worked charged $60 for this treatment (but they put rose petals on your eyelids), and it wasn't until after I quit, that I found out what was in those little white packets!
There you go.....enjoy! |

Thank you so much Dark Moon. Coincidentally, I have that kind of gelatin at home now.
I'll try it ASAP. |

You are welcome! I know a good number had great results with it, and for the price it's worth a try.

| The gelatin thing does help. One thing though - make sure you don't let it dry out! It gets very tight and painful. |

Vit K is known to help with blood clotting, and I think the dark circle is from broken caps? So maybe that's why anything w/ Vit K is good for that. |

Also keep it off your lashes! Gelatin is naturally high in vitamin K so that is most likely why it helps.

| I do not know exactly how vitamin K works for people who generally have under eye circles. In my case I had an eye lid surgery and as a consequence have under eye circles which have been difficult to get rid of and vitamin K is supposed to help dissolve the accumulated blood under my eyes or something like that. |
