It depends on your skin type

Otto Joseph Placik, MD answers: Chemical Peel best for under eye circles?

Will chemical peels help improve dark circles under eyes? If so, what type of chemical peel is best for the area? Will chemical peels for home use be also effective?

This would really depend on your skin type and the cause of the discoloration.

TCA peels are commonly used but it would be best to seek a qualified physician who can guide you in the correct choice of peel or other treatments.

Sometimes medications such as those used for the mask of pregnancy may be a better way of treating your condition.
