To get rid of darkness around or underneath your eyes, use a cream with pycnogenol in it. You can find plenty of creams with this in a health store. I do have to say that the cheapest is usually around $20. Even in pill form this stuff is expensive.

I too have heard the prep H for puffiness! I don't think it will touch the color, but the puffiness will be gone!

I'd do some research first for the causes. There are many different causes, like fatigue, nutrition, medications you may be taking, genetics, allgeriges, or health problems, exposure to the sun, poor circulation, dehydration, etc.
Figure out the cause first and you may be able to fix it rather than just covering it up with makeup.

Hi guys:)
Do you use it at night, or in the morning before applying your makeup?
Thanks!

hmmm I have the same problem as the OP but as far as I know I am healthy since I go for my checkups ever few months. My black eyes :jester: started about a year or two ago. I tried sleeping A LOT since I thought it was fatigue but it didn't help. I slept so much it made me more tired! As for nutrition or medications I'm good on those too since I'm only on the pill and I take a multivitamin everyday.
Anyway thanks ladies for all the suggestions :p :p I'm going to buy myself some preparation H to get rid of my puffiness and dark rings.

The dark circles are from bursting blood vessels. They look like bruises because, in a way, they are bruises. The blood vessels are unusually weak and even a gentle rubbing can cause them to burst. Never rub your eyes, even to put creams on them, instead pat it on. Make sure you wear a sunscreen and you might try taking a grapeseed extract, once a day. It will help strengthen the blood vessels from the inside out. Might even want to try an eye cream with grapeseed extract in it, as well.
The puffiness might be fluid building as the vessels burst. You might find that solving one problem, helps to solve the other.
BTW, I've read Prep H on the eyes is very harsh and bad for that delicate skin. You may find it makes matters worse.

Prep H does nothing I have tried it several times. The ointment is greasy and heavy which makes them even worse and the cream and gel did nothing either :dizzy:

Hi Guys,
Everyone is different, so somethings may work for some people,
and somethings may not work for other people.
If someone could just tell me please, does it work better in the
morning or the evening?
Thanks, for any advice.
