I know that works for puffiness, but will that really work for the darkness? :confused:

Isn't preparation h something u use for an inflamed anus??

Anyways, have you tried tea-bags soaked in water and/or cucumbers?

Yea, but look up how it works. It applies to anything inflamed.

Okay, I picked up some Loreal Eye Cream and some Preparation-H cooling gel (with Aloe and Vitamin E!). I put on the H when I got home, and went completely blind. Okay kidding, but it did numb the skin under my eyes for awhile. I wasn't impressed with the Loreal product, I guess I should have gone with the Neutragena copper cream, but it looked like more of a skin fimer than a dark circles remover.

I also made an appointment for a 20min tan tomorrow night. Got a copuon for 3 sessions, will go every other day. Hopefully in a few weeks I'll be a little more handsome. ;)

You can get shots...like botox...but for dark circles. Of course you'll get black eyes for a couple of days after. But once those clear up, your dark circles are gone too.

I have an unsightly genetic trait. I always have a tired look to my eyes, because of dark circles. Some days are worse than others.

I just did some research on how to get rid of these, and besides using weird folklore remedies that involve applying cold food products to my eyelids, or wearing makeup, I'm stumped.

Does anyone else have this problem, and have found a solution?

My eyes! They're... muffins!

Plastic surgery. There's supposedly a quick easy procedure for that. My gf watches a lot of Dr. 90210.

brother.....I'm going to tell you a secret....this is not a joke as most are going to think. But Preparation-H. rub just a small bit on the dark circles under your eyes. I am not joking , this works.
I used to hang out with people that were doing Meth all the time , and they always had that problem. And this is something that worked, I can't remember where it came from , or how they figured it out , but I've seen it actually do the trick.
Damn Crank-heads have since cleaned their acts up , but for a while I had a friend that MIGHT get a few hours of sleep a week. And this worked for him. I'm seriously doubting your bags/dark circles will compare to his.

Prep-H is good for black eyes, and other swelling of the face for whatever reason
