It's because you have been using the wrong concelear color to cover up your black eyes. The one that works for everyone is the salmon color (the blacker the more orange-salmon you should use your conceler) that color cancels the black and doesn't allow the black to show, plus it will fusion with your skin color.

I will say this. I have dark deep set hereditary eye circles. I was a huge sucker for eye creams and gels to help improve my eye looks. I decided to go to the drs and take a blood test to see if I have any deficiencies or allergies that might contribute to my under eye darkness/ circles. Turns out I’m anaemic, have a few vitamin deficiencies and I have mild allergies. Once I started eating cleaner and avoiding foods that would agitate my skin, my UNDER EYE DARK CIRCLES / BAGS have IMPROVED!!! Yes I still have darkness under my eyes but it is MUCH better than it was before. Also I stopped smoking and have tried to sleep 8 hours.

[@berlineczka]

Beside special treatments and eye-safe retinoids, I would also add one situation when a person would need a separate moisturiser for the eye area: oily skin. My skin is very oily (truly oily, it stays oily the whole year and the whole face, not just the t-zone) and the moisturisers I use for the face (water creams and lotions that are basically just hydrating agents) are simply not occlusive enough for the drier under-eye area. I need more fatty, occlusive ingredients for under eyes, so I use a different product there. However, I do not use creams that are marketed as eye creams, exactly for the reasons you stated in the video. I use face creams or sleeping packs that are intended for dry or dry to normal skin types. If it's in a jar, I scoop them over to a small travel box so that I only touch and expose to air and light a small amount at a time. They last forever as I only use a tiny bit.

[@AshuMBF]

Hello mam, At 4:33 you mention caffeine causes vasoconstriction. I'd humbly like to correct a little. Caffeine acts on vascular smooth muscle cells and after a short vasoconstriction effect, it causes significant vasodilatation. The under eye swelling or puffiness (non medically used term) is caused due to accumulation of tissue fluid aka lymph. Blood cannot temporarily seep out of capillaries and then go back in. So the effect of caffeine at the end is as you mention - depuffing, the process is entirely different. Caffeine dilates the blood vessels basically, so the lymph drains out faster than it otherwise would. Even if you don't apply caffeine, it would drain ultimately, but it will take time. Caffeine helps hasten the process a bit.

[@queenhamdeh2569]

I'm a Doctor, If I look at it from another view I could say that I'm glad they make under eye moisturizers because the one moisturizer I love on my face irritates my under eye area and don't moisturize it well, I use a hyaluronic acid gel for under eyes and my dryness problems are all gone. So the thing is, it's true around eye area is really a sensitive area and needs special formulas than those used for the face. Pricing issues are the same among all beauty products not jjust eye creams,so it depends on knowledge and personal preference. Lastly, I prefer those tiny bottles for eye creams bcuz no body really needs a big amount that will expire before finishing half of it because it's actually used on a small space.

[@urmom777]

what brand do you use for the h.a gel?

[@sienkiewiczmonika1161]

It depends on face cream. Some face creams irritate my under eye area too, some not. I need just moisturizers (I don't have any other problems with that area, for now, thankfully).

[@MariCatherinee]

I don’t know, i once used one specialized in under eye area that made my under eye dark circles to become red and so I stop using these types of creams..

[@agneshudak6580]

What she wanted to point out is, if you have problems with puffiness or dark circles around the eyes, no amount of moisturizer will treat that. If your problem is dryness around the eyes, then moisturizer is for you.

Then how do we get rid of periorbital hyperpigmentation? I've always wondered if it was possible to get rid of

[@ajd8558]

I had that when I was on The Pill and the number 1 thing I found that worked was a high factor sunscreen (I used a factor 50 by photoderma). It made them much lighter - light enough that I could cover it with concealer. They went away when I was off hormones - took a few months and there are still some tiiiiiiny freckles left but otherwise they are gone.

[@CloudyWithABitOfRain]

Under eye skin is much thinner and for some people face creams would be too irritating under the eye because too much of the product is absorbed, hence, eye creams are less "strong" to avoid irritation.

[@elfa6362]

I need the eye creams

[@eriiux]

So if someone needs hydration will lack it because they're less strong because there's people that doesn't like them

I use the eye cream by Swiss Just. I've been in group facial sessions, applied the very same cream on people with crows feet, bags, loose skin, etc and the difference was noticeable for all with that just one application. I've been using it for about 12 years, I'm 45 and don't have a single wrinkle. It's one of those rare ones that does work for several skin issues at once. P.S. to lighten congenital dark under eyes apply a thin layer of castor oil every night 👌

@@guriyairfan2037 there's only one eye contour cream; you can also use it around the lips. Note the tube is big (30 grams/1 oz.) compared to regular eye creams.

Hi Cassandra, thank you for a brutally honest review, we, your viewers, truly appreciate it. On the topic of anti-ageing (anti-wrinkles) eye creams - have you ever come across Sesderma's Retises Eye contour anti-wrinkle 0,05%? Can you advise anything based on the ingredients? Now that we know that retinol is key, I think that it would be very interesting to learn what concentration of retinol to look out for to avoid those with negligent amounts. Thank you so much if you take the time to answer my query. :)

[@ceuti]

Cassandra, I know you're probably really busy but I do have an inquiry that I really hope you can help with. Because of your videos, I decided to pick up the Ordinary zinc and niacinamide, along with the hylauronic acid. I have combo-acne prone skin and hylauronic acid has basically saved my skin over the past two years, but I still usually have one nasty pimple or two consistently somewhere in my face and the occasional breakout so that's why I decided to try the zinc and niacinamide. The first day after I patch tested just fine, I didn't prep my skin and just put the niacinamide and hylauronic acid on and my skin looked amazing for the rest of the day. I woke up with some surfaced whiteheads, but that's fairly normal for me in the mornings. Then on the second day, I did my normal prep in the shower and used toner and my electric cleansing brush with a cleanser. Unfortunately, my regular face cleanser was out of stock so for a while I had been using the dove pomegranate and lemon verbena body wash (I'm sure it's awful for the skin but I didn't break out from it and it was the only thing I had on hand). I got out of the shower fresh faced and immediately put on the zinc and niacinamide and waited a few minutes to put the hylauronic acid on. Before those couple minutes could even pass, things were going really wrong. My face completely flushed immediately and started burning. I was bright red and was watching as my face was tightening as if I had some sort of peel off mask on and hundreds of tiny whiteheads rose up to the surface. Obviously not having a great reaction, I washed it off immediately but the feeling continued and over the hours, my skin became extremely dry and was visibily peeling all over the place. It took me days to finally calm my skin down and get rid of all the whiteheads and redness. I'm honestly not sure if the body wash mixed and created niacin and I had a bad reaction or if I just didn't have an intense reaction to the niacinamide before because my skin wasn't as clean and freshly exfoliated. Either way, I looked online to see that many MANY people had similar reactions with burning and redness especially. It felt much more than just a skin purge to me and happened scarily quickly. Do you know if that sounds more like some kind of allergic reaction possibly or if it somehow mixed with the Dove body wash and created a harmful chemical? Can skin purges feel that awful?

[@Pic1491]

I don't know if my experience helps....but here it goes: - I tried once the squalane oil from the ordinary and it gave me millia which looks like tiny white bumps and my face looked very old as well. I was able to get rid of it after a few days by not using the oil and after I used a retinol cream. I also used another product of the ordinary (don't remember which one exactly) and it made my face red and itchy for an hour or so. I stopped using the product and my face recovered. Bottom line is I no longer use any Ordinary product.....it might be good for others, but my face does not tolerate them

[@jazzjohnson5568]

Skin purges shouldn’t feel like that. Honestly, I think it was the combination of the products, but everyone’s skin is different. I would say the Dove has a high level of fragrance and that probably didn’t help the inflammation. Some individuals are sensitive to zinc so that could also be a potential.

[@ceuti]

@@Pic1491 Yes! Mine looked similar to what you described. Not Millia exactly but definitely more on the pustule side but very small and plenty. I didn't particularly look old but my skin stretched and felt like a mask and then eventually started flaking. It sucks that some of us go through that :( I've never experienced it before until the Ordinary and every skincare person online acts like it's a godsend

[@ceuti]

@@ronkkka Okay thanks! I definitely felt like the fact I had fresh skin made the reaction a lot more intense and quick

[@ceuti]

@@jazzjohnson5568 Yeah that's what I figured. I was ready for a skin purge but I could tell I was almost going through some sort of allergic reaction/chemical burn. I just find it odd how many people I've come across who have reacted to it so severely but majority of people seem to love and praise it...but maybe that's mostly the skincare people who get paid by the company and their followers

What eye cream is it?

[@elenayil86]

I’ve always known that ageing can’t be stopped by the cream. That’s just marketing.

[@TheKohibari]

of course it can´t be stopped and there are various factors like genes and overall lifestyle that play a role in ageing. but good and most importantly constant skincare (esp from an early age on) will slow down the ageing process.

[@sandramorales6647]

Except for tretinoin, that's scientifically proven, not even to stop but to reverse it. You can look for the papers yourself.

[@Anewuser_6282]

medical grade eye creams work: looks for vitamin c, retinol, antioxidants, growth factors, peptides, caffeine, vitamin k

[@6Fiona6_P_6]

Creams can kinda slow the ageing process down. But they aren't a miracle pill that you take one time and you're go to go. Retinol and Hyaluronic Acid creams have to be used everyday. You can't stop using them and hope those fine wrinkles won't come back. Because if you stop using them those fine wrinkles will come back. And the Retinol products prescribed by a doctor are much stronger than those in over the counter moisturising creams. The over the counter stuff takes a lot longer before you see any results...... ☮️⚛️👀🌏

Freeze a small amount of witch hazel . Then defrost ...but before it's fully defrosted soak a cotton wool ball or very soft tissue with it and dab around the eye area . Both the cold and witch hazel act as a natural vaso-dilator !!
