You lot need to help me find it. Budget is up to about £60.

I want one that actually works, please don't suggest preparation H;

  1. I can't muster up courage to go and buy it
  2. I can't use it long term.

cheers.

Hi I have tried lots and lots of products for under eye bags and dark circles and found Yon-Ka to be the best - and q. natural ingredients also.

Good luck!

itsmeolord · 13/11/2009 16:59

will have a look at that.

Anyone else want to make a suggestion? Go on, you know you want to.

slice of cold cucumber on your eyes in the morning?

Don´t drink too many liquids (water, tea) after 6 pm.

Don´t drink alcohol.

Also, step outside (or stand in front of open window) for one minute in the morning an breathe deeply (= extra blast of oxigen for the blood= less dark circles).

I tried loads of creams, but these things are MUCH more effective than any cream.

and virtually free!

Dermalogica Total Eye Care is aces. I've used it for about five years, and it's amazing. You do have to use it for a while before you see results though. I recommend it to a lot of people, I swear I have less wrinkles/bags than I did when I first started using it five years ago!

Am with Chandon on this - to be honest it is probably a genetic thing and can only be managed rather than eliminated.

Alcohol, caffeine etc are big no nos.

The reason I like yonka is the rosemary or similar ingredient which gives a tingle - but of course this is temporary.

Also I can highly recommend Chantecaille bio concealer - so expensive but so works!

I am afraid that I went the totally non-pc route and had the bags sliced away 4 years ago at age 37......best thing I have ever done. Money well spent.

I was fed up of people asking me if I was tired - and they were starting to become doubel bags. I looked at my dad who has 'festooning' (think bags like austrian blinds a la Andrew lloyd webber) and i decided i did not want to end up like that.

And now - not a hint of a bag, nice smooth skin - the only drawback is that even if truly truly ill - i still look fresh as a daisy and don't get any sympathy.

Probably not the answer you were looking for but may be useful to hear the radical approach from someone who has been there and despaired and spent hundreds and hundreds on creams and porions (now i use cream from lidl for £1.75 jsut for a bit of light moisture - i think I have saved back the cost of the surgery in the last 4 years!)

Am only 33 so no surgey yet. Would consider in a few years though.

I rarely drink alchohol but do drink a lot of water in the evenings, think i will try the yonka stuff and see how that goes.

People keep telling me i look tired and downlighting is not a good thing......
