Nervous about trying Pile Cream for under eyes, alternatives for hollows and dark circles?

I’ve heard pile cream is amazing for under eye but I’m anxious about trying it? What other products or general advice do ppl have for under eye bags including discolouration (purple/blue) it’s hollow - I’m 38.

The pile cream thing is mostly myth at this point because the original formulation that people swore by contained an ingredient called LYCD that was removed years ago, so modern versions don't have the same effect, and for hollow under eyes with blue purple discolouration at 38 the most evidence backed approach is a combination of a caffeine based eye product for the vascular component of the darkness paired with a peptide cream for the hollowness since volume loss rather than pigmentation is usually what's driving that sunken look at that age.
