Hi @JiJoO ! How to best brighten dark circles depends on what’s causing them. And before I list causes & potential solutions, I’ll say you should use a broad spectrum sunscreen (at least SPF 30) each day your skin’s exposed to sunlight, all year long, regardless of weather or season—even on your undereye skin (and eyelids, ears, behind ears, etc.). UV rays can cause hyperpigmentation and wrinkles. There’s no point trying to reverse either of those things if you don’t also stop the sun from causing more of them. Sunken skin, such as hollow tear troughs - no topical skincare product can reverse this. It’s caused by your facial structure, especially changes that occur as we age. Your best inexpensive bet is makeup: color corrector and/or strategically placed concealer. Pricier options are in-office/clinic procedures like injectable fillers. Genetic/hereditary - skincare products can’t touch this, either. This is another job for color corrector and concealer, or maybe in-office/clinic procedures. UV damage - low-strength retinol is the usual go-tos, along with licorice root, niacinamide, vitamin C, and green tea. Some inexpensive options are CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum and The INKEY List Retinol Eye Cream 0.5 oz/ 15 mL . You could also consider Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Advanced Retinol + Ferulic Triple Correction Eye Serum 0.5 oz/ 15 mL . There’s also Topicals Faded Under Eye Brightening & Clearing Eye Masks 6 pairs / pack which contain kojic acid, alpha arbutin, and tranexamic acid to reduce hyperpigmentation. Lack of sleep - caffeine, green tea, and cold compress can help. You can get all 3 of those from eye masks/patches kept in your fridge. 2 of my favorites are Good Molecules Caffeine Energizing Eye Patches, SEPHORA COLLECTION Clean Eye Mask Caffeine. The Topicals eye masks I mentioned also contain caffeine. Also consider The INKEY List Caffeine Eye Cream 0.5 oz/ 15 mL or The Ordinary Caffeine 5% + EGCG Depuffing Eye Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL . For crows feet, try a low-strength retinol product. The CeraVe product I mentioned is a good option. Also consider low-strength retinaldehyde; like retinol, it’s a form of vitamin A. I’ve used Avene PhysioLift Eyes which I think is still available at Ulta (if you’re in the US). You can also order it or the very similar Avene RetrinAL Eyes at Avene’s site; they occasionally have very good sales. Right now their 30% of $80 USD sale’s still going. And seriously, wear the hecking sunscreen. It can be chemical, mineral/physical, or a hybrid sunscreen. All 3 types work largely the same way, and one type’s not safer/better than the others unless you’re sensitive to a specific UV filter (ingredient in sunscreen that protects skin from UV rays). Some people, like me, have sensitive eyes that can’t tolerate many American chemical sunscreens; that’s because the FDA allows only one chemical UV filter (avobenzone) in our sunscreens. My eyes do better with either mineral sunscreens (though zinc oxide requires lots of rubbing, which can worsen my dark circles) or European and Asian chemical/hybrid sunscreens that use more advanced UV filters.

Hi there @ShandaGrace I have been in your shoes and know the path you are about to take. I send you love and support 💜 you've got this! If there was any beauty products I would recommend it would be a very good moisturizer. I found that my skin got very dry during my treatment but not to worry there are products that can help! I would highly recommend Vanicream lotion or La Roche Posey's AP Lipitar line. Both can be found at quite a few retailers (amazon, CVS, Walgreens, etc) and they won't break the bank. CeraV ointment is also a good product to work with as well if it's affecting small patches more so than others. If it affects your lips (nothing horrible just a little more dry than normal) I really love LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C Original it just gives your lips this great extra juicy moisture immediately that lasts! If you want something a little more affordable check out Dionis goat milk lip balm - it does a good job and you can also find it at quite a few retailers. If the moisturizer isn't hitting it just enough check out a oil to top it off like The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil 1 oz/ 30 mL or The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Moroccan Argan Oil 1 oz/ 30 mL . Great oils that again won't break the bank and a little goes a long way. I hope you have a lovely holiday season and if I can help in any way please reach out.

@itsfi there was a time when I couldn't understand why anyone would pay the high price tag for Tatcha. I've since converted over to the dark side, lol. I can definitely see a difference in my skin when I use this vs when I don't.
