Hello Yahoo!! My eyes have really been bothering me lately. I have darkcircles (like a raccoon) and my eyes get really puffy and wrinkly looking sometimes, and I'm only 18! My eyes look like I'm 45! This scares me becuase what about when I AM 45? SOooo...
What are some good topical creams?
And if creams don't work, what would be the best surgery/laser treatment?
I really really don't want to do surgery, so if you can think of a really great eye care treatment and cream that'll be great!

There are many causes of dark circles, from age, heredity, allergies, cold or sinus infection, bone structure and glasses which are not so commonly known.

If you would like to apply home remedies to reduce dark circles, here are some of my suggestions:
Buy a box of regular, old fashioned unflavored gelatin (e.g. Knox) from grocery store. Take a small cup or bowl and put in 1 teaspoon of the gelatin mix. Add one tablespoon of boiling water & stir for a minute. Test it on your wrist to make sure it is not too hot. Then, using a cotton ball, pat it under your eyes as you would an eye cream or gel. Go lie down and listen to some music, or take a bath & let it stay on for at least 30 minutes. Then just rinse it off.Gelatin is very high in Vitamin K & Biotin. It will not remove your dark circles on the first application (but you will notice a difference), but if you do it daily for a week, and then 2-3 times a week for maintenance, you should notice a drastic reduction in dark circles.

A good eye gel for puffiness is Origins no Puffery cooling eye mask(at Nordstrom), it really works great. As far as the dark circles, make sure your getting enough sleep, drink lots of water, and avoid too much cafffeine like in coffee and soda. There are creams for dark circles but I'm not sure which one's work best, but you could ask someone who works at Nordstrom or Sephora to recommend one. Also I would ask for some free samples to try out before I bought one.
If nothing works you would need to see a dermatologist or plastic surgeon to see what treatment would be best for you.

Try Elizabeth Arden's Ceramide Eyewish eye cream. It contains witch hazel which reduces swelling.
Cucumber slices may help reduce puffiness. Some eye products contain cucumber extract, for example Pond's Soothing Cucumber Eye Treatment.
Good luck.

Are you getting enough sleep, do you have allergies? Maybe
its your diet, maybe your not getting enough of certain vitamins.
