Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Dark circles under the eyes or periocular hyperpigmentation and facial dullness are common cosmetic concerns in your case. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation due to continuous rubbing of eyes in allergic conjunctivitis and atopic dermatitis, lack of adequate sleep, and stress are the common causes of this. In your case, you can use medicine like a fair eye (Niacinamide and Chrysin) daily during the night and can go for a chemical peel. The most frequently used peels for dark circles are Arginine and Lactic acid peels. Argipeel is one of the readily available combination peels for dark circles. It contains Arginine (20%), Lactic acid (20%), Aloe vera (1%), and Allantoin (0.5%). It should be done once in three weeks requiring four to six sessions for good results. Other peels like Glycolic acid (15 to 20 %) with Kojic acid also give good results. Also, use Face care face wash twice daily, try to get adequate sleep, and EAT lots of green leafy vegetables and fruits. Stay hydrated. I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
