What type of dark circles do I have and what actually helps?
Hey everyone, I’ve been struggling with pretty noticeable under-eye darkness and wanted some honest advice/recommendations.
I’ve attached a photo for reference. My dark circles look kind of brown/grey and deeper near the inner corners. I also think I may have slightly deep-set eyes which makes the shadow worse.
Some background:
- Recently found out my B12 and D3 were low and I’ve started supplements
- I sleep 6 to 8 hrs a day
- Skin type is probably combination/oily
I’m currently considering:
- Minimalist Vitamin K + Retinal 0.1% Eye Cream
- Vitamin C serum
But I’m confused about what would actually help my type of dark circles.
Questions:
Does this look more like pigmentation, hollowing, or vascular dark circles?
Has anyone actually seen noticeable improvement from eye creams?
Would retinal/caffeine work better than Vitamin C for this?
Any routines or products that genuinely helped you?
I’m not expecting miracles, just want them to look less tired and dark over time.
Thanks in advance.
