Eye Bags
– result of accumulated fat in the eye area – the septum (wall) surrounding the eyeball weakens, causing the outer layer of fat to sink forward
– unfortunately, the only cure is a blepharoplasty (removes excess fat, skin and muscle around the eyes)
– can be a symptom of : a kidney problem or a slow thyroid
– result of excessive salt intake, cigarette smoking or food sensitivities

Remedies to Decrease the Size
– serums/creams will help reduce the size but it won't get rid of it!
– serums/creams with Aloe Vera and Cucumber extracts will help reduce the size of your under eye bags (beside it's cooling effect)
– home remedy: apply a compress of ice water or very cold milk directly over your closed eyelids and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes
– home remedy: apply a compress of a mixture of equal parts rosewater and witch hazel soaked in cotton & rest the cotton on your eyes for 10 to 15 minutes.


Dark Under Eyes
– misconception: caused by staying up late.
– they just don't mysteriously appear when you stay up late or stressed out & vanish when you get 8 hours of sleep.
– oxidizing hemoglobin / result of the very same mechanism that produces bruises (when hemoglobin is broken down, its remaining components have a dark blue-black color – just like a bruise. so your dark under-eye circles are actually caused by leaky capillaries)
– cause: hereditary / genes
– cause: allergies (first, histamine can cause dark smudges to appear under the eyes. second, allergies frequently cause the eyes to feel itchy. rubbing the eyes and the skin around the eyes makes dark circles even darker)
– cause: age (as we grow old, our skin becomes thinner, which makes dark circles more obvious)
– cause:

Still using Kiehl's Line-reducing Eye-brightening Concentrate.

^ sis dibly, feedback please.. ilang weeks mo na gamit? thanks

[miss_dibly]

^Matagal tagal na din sis. Couple of months ago, yan kasi yung isa sa mga sinubukan ko na product. (Besides sa eyeliplex and creamy avocado) Eh nagsawa ako sa kanila, kaya nag shift ako sa Kiehl's Abyssine eye cream.... Pero bumalik din agad ako dito. Napansin ko na mas maganda pa din yung line-reducing eye-brightening concentrate kasi nakaka bawas talaga ng darkness ng under eye. As of pang reduce ng fine lines, wala pa akong ma share since hindi naman nababawasan yung mga creases ng eye area ko. Pero hindi din naman sya nadadagdagan.
Yung eyliplex-2 maganda sa may puffy eyes.
Abyssine Eye cream, moisturizing lang yung effect na nakita ko sa kanya.
Yung Kiehl's Creamy Avocado, maganda sa may mga dry under eye... mas gusto ko 'to compared sa abyssine. Maganda din sya na eye cream pag day time.. lalo't naka make up. Para sa akin, nakaka bawas kasi sya ng pag crease ng powder sa under eye area.

problem ko kasi talaga ngayon is dark under eye though gusto ko na din gumamit for anti-wrinkles as prevention kasi mid 20's na ako.. thanks sis miss_dibly!

@angelvenus: No problem sis! Ako din, mid 20's na kaya todo hanap ako ng magandang eye cream. Bago ka sis bumili ng Eye cream sa Kiehl's try mo muna humingi ng sample.

@eireen: Sa Watson's sis sa SM north (Main) meron.

Anyone tried VANILYX?? I saw these in a store in Serendra but didn't buy right away because it's expensive (2k++ for a small tube) that's why I would like to research muna if it's really effective as it says it lessen the appearance of serious dark circles & puffiness.

[angeljolie]

Has anyone tried Revitalume?

I've read about fillers and they look promising. Yun lang parang high maintenance.

hello crystalcornerstone, my personal messaging was disabled by the system. i have contacted his clinic and inquired about your request and Doc. Sid Cu advised me that you send me your details (name and contact number) so i can give it to him. His clinic will personally contact u. just send me personal message for your details.

i have tolerable eyebags naman kaso medyo dark tapos ang dry ng undereyes ko. so when i put concealer nagcacake kahit mac pa. so i am putting HHN SBO. sana magwork. on my first day, nagdry pa rin ng bandang hapon. sa gabi i put estee lauder advance night repair. kaso parang walang effect or is it because i get teary eyed pag antok na kaya na nawawala din yung serum =(

[fazeko]

Na try nyo na no needle Mesotherapy for dark circles under the eyes?

[Mommy_Halie]

I've been using La Mer the eye concentrate, now I'm on my 2nd container, one lasts for 5 months. Ever since I was a kid, I already have dark circles. I've tried a lot of eye creams but nothing worked. A collegue convinced me to use La Mer kahit mahal pinatulan ko na because I was so desperate with my eyes. Ngayon hindi na ganon kaitim mata ko. Unlike noon, everytime I go out, I still need to put on my concealer, ngayon minsan na lang. It's really worth the price.

Another colleague is convincing me to try Obagi, maybe once I finished my present eye cream. Because Obagi is cheaper, 3k daw baka okay din..

hi can you ask for sample ba without even buying a single item. worried lang baka mag ka milia ako. like what happened nung nagagamit ako ng estee

[miss_dibly]

mij026: You can try and ask for a sample sa Kiehl's. May mga SA kasi na accommodating, na kahit di ka bibili nag aabot sila ng sample. Yung na encounter ko na SA sa Trinoma yung worst. Mas mababait yung mga nasa GB5 , ATC and MOA.

Liole help me dark circle eye cream isn't effective. Boo.

[green-aholic]

I'm still using HHN. Dati parang effective. Ngayon parang hindi na.. Should I look for another product na lang? Wala bang mabilis bilis na way para mawala na pwedeng sundan na lang ng mga creams?

ako din parang di na siya nagwowork for me pero nag-aapply pa din ako. Or wala na talagang pag-asa ang dark under-eye circles ko?  di naman siya dati ganito, di ko alam kung anung nangyari
concealer na lang siguro, kaso di pa ako makahanap ng magwowork for me.

[yapeegurl]

ako naman alternate ko ginagamit ang HHN SBO and Cernor..

Yung obagi eye cream yung nabasa kong ginagamit ni marj sia eh, effective daw. Kaso ano yung pangalan mismo ng cream sis? I think I need that. I never leave the house without putting on concealer on my undereyes. :/

ako naman alternate ko ginagamit ang HHN SBO and Cernor..

What's Cernor naman sis?
