22 Jun 2012

I honestly have been battling dark cicles under my eyes for as long as I can remember. I have tried Restalyne, which pushed up more bluish color and creating an under eye bump even worse than my hollow eyes. I have tried Juvaderm, which also created a bump. When my dark circles became almost unbearable this year thanks to thinning under eye skin, I was ready for surgery or worse. I was literally so depressed at the condition of my eyes, so when Hydroquonine was suggested to me, merely tried it as a last resort thinking it was obsurd that a cream would help meat all. Boy, was I wrong! I the month and a half I have been using the hydroquonine, I have seen a HUGE change in my dark circles. They have dismissed greatly, but more importantly I have gained my self esteem and self confidence back. I used a combination of tretenoid cream and hydroquonine. Honestly, I cannot say enought good thing abut this, and it improbably the cheapest thing. Have dinero correct dark circles (well maybe besides makeup). I will try to see if I have any before and after pics to post to demonstrate.

Great review?

@JenGrrl, Your review gives me so much hope. Was there any specfic hydroquinone contaning product you used? I have this problem and it's my most self-conscious feat. It is completely genetic/somewhat ethnic and I just need to get rid of it. What % of hydroquinone is the active ingredient and further more, did it burn bc I know it's a harsh yet effective bleaching agent and I am curious as to how your sensitive under eye skin reacted. Please do try to post before and afters if you can and thanks for the informative review! :)

It is a combination of .5% tretenoid cream and 10% hydroquonine, which is very high. I believe it is mixed by a pharmacist. If it is genetic/ ethnic (similar to mine) I do really think you would get great results with it. I have very thin and sensitive skin und my eyes and although it is a bit irritating at first, it is week worth it. I still continue to peel but after a few weeks the peeling deceases substantially. As I said, I have extremely sensitive skin so I think if I can tolerate it, most people could. I will try to post before and after pics, but I don't feel the pictures really show the difference. Because lighting wtc makes such a difference but I will try :)

Send me a private message if you want the name of the place I go to get the cream. It is in orange county, California so I don't know if that is possible for you or not. I also think 5% hydroquonine would work well if that is what is available.

Hey JenGrrl! Exactly what products did you use? Any specific brand? So glad to hear you got great results!!

Thank you! I will. I think it matters where you have it done because I didn't think it was too bad under my eyes, but I've heard the forehead is really painful.

I do but I also had Ultherapy twice, so I am not sure the exact cause of the plumping. I have been dealing with the hollowness for so long and tried so many treatments. I do think the tretenoid cream mixture in the hydroquonine irritates our skin, and therefore causes a plumping effect. I beneath cannot say enough good things about this product. It has really made a difference for me!

I've been becoming interested in Ultherapy, but it seems like people report such varying levels of change with it...but nearly everyone reports high discomfort during the procedure, so I haven't decided if I want to give it a go or not. Would love for you to post a review about your experience with it - your reviews are great!

That is awesome it helped with your dark circles so much!! Do you feel like it helped fill in the hollows at all, or just that it mainly helped with the coloring?
