Hey! don’t use the Prep H cream if you are resident in the United States or Canada…it lacks the active ingredient that does the job. It’s only in the cream in Europe. If I were to give you any advice, it would be the get some Emu Oil, it’s great for your skin, hypo-allergenic and over time it nourishes your skin with essential fatty acids so it becomes healther looking and plumper. It also reduces the prominence of scars (acne) and helps eliminate blemishes and ingrown hairs…I use it all over my face. It goes on a little greasy, but in 5 minutes it soaks in and your skin looks very youthful. It is widely known (originally from Australia) that it is the most receptive emollient to human skin. I live it Ottawa and emu’s are farmed here so it’s relatively cheap. But it shouldn’t be that much more where you are, just pick it up at a natural foods grocery. Cheers

Yes that works for wrinkles under the eyes, But Not dark spots. The person you need to consult with is a dermatologist. There is treatments for that.

If you want to get rid of dark circles under your eyes, try cutting an avocado in half and leave it on your eyes for a while.

I have used it many times and it does work for puffy eyes but I am not sure about darkness under the eyes. I think that there is something active in it that reduces swelling quickly and its used by famous people and models when they have had a heavy night previous to a photo shoot. I know that it contains whale blubber and to be honest it stinks to high heaven. Its also quite greasy so it can be a bit gooey to get off! Give it a go though.
Good luck

You can use those but try this first.
Try this.
Adapted from The Herbal Home Spa, by Greta Breedlove (Storey Books, 1998).
Nobody looks good with puffy bags or dark circles under their eyes, but how to get rid of them?
SIMPLE SOLUTION: Well, this is the easiest remedy I’ve ever run across, and it really works!
I was so surprised by the single kitchen-cupboard ingredient that this How-To calls for–it’s not a cucumber, and you’re sure to have one on hand. Find out the secret here:
Raw potato slices will help tighten baggy, puffy eyes. All you need is a potato and a knife or slicer!
To Make:
1. Slice 1/4 potato to fit over your eyes.
2. Cut 2 slices or, if you prefer, 5 to 10 very thin slices, several for each eye. Either method works.
To Use:
1. Spritz eye area with water.
2. Lying down, place the potato slices on your eyelids and leave in place for at least 10 minutes for best results.
Then prick a vitamin K capsule and apply the oil to under the eye. Leave it on all night.
Hope this helps!!!
