Commonly there are two types of dark circles- blue and black or brown. The blue circles are formed due to pooling of oxygenated blood in the under-eye skin, whereas the brown/ black circles are formed due to hyper pigmentation of the skin around the eye.Dark circles appear when the tiny blood vessels under the under-eye skin start leaking. Enzymes produced to clean this leak, by the body break down the red blood cells. This leads to the discoloration of the area under the eye, for example blue or brown/black. Aging is another cause that leads to appearance of dark circles under the eyes and puffiness of the eyes. The skin under the eyes is thin and delicate, and with age it becomes thinner, making the blood vessels even more prominent, which causes dark circles.Some people have it due to their hereditary genes. Nutritional deficiency also be a prime cause.A person whose dietary intake is deficient in vitamins like A, C, K, E and other vital nutrients may have to deal with this problem of dark circles. Sleep deprivation and constant exhaustion make the blood under the eye more visible and the skin to appear blue or black/ brown.Dark circle reduction treatment Needs identification of the underlying cause And treat the pigmentation in addition. Pigment reduction laser treatments that can be effective depending on the cause of dark circles. For blue under eye circles, reduction treatment may include intense pulsed light therapy or pulse dye laser technique.
How to get rid of dark circles [teens]?
If you really want to get rid of dark circles, you can make a mask for them :D What you need to do is get your hands on licorice extract, Aloe-Vera gel and vitamin k-capsules. I know it sounds like a lot, but it really does work! The licorice extract has a very strong brightening effect, that will make the circles appear less visible. Lemon also has a similar effect, but I wouldn't recommend putting that on your eyes. Vitamin k works because a lack of it can contribute to dark circles, therefore if you have more vitamin k (even if it's though the pores) it'll help rid of them. And the aloe-vera gel is simply there so that the dark circles are soothed (similar to using cucumbers!) If you mix together a drop of the extract, a capsule of vitamin k and a little squirt of aloe-vera gel and apply it onto your eyes every day, you should see results within a week at the most. Hope this helped!

If you have oily skin, the most appropriate option would be the application of rice flour masks (again, 3 times a week). You just need rice flour and some water to obtain a paste.You can apply it to your facial skin, leave it for a couple of hours, and then wash it off with cool water. The visible changes will come after a week or two. This mask has a really intense whitening effect (some even use it for this exact purpose) and these acne scars you mentioned start fading after several applications of the rice mask. Here’s how it looks like when applied to my face:I successfully managed to clear mine with pure honey (note that I had moderate acne during my teen years, and combination skin type). I applied the honey to my face at least 3 times a week just before bedtime and slept with it, this was a very sticky experience making me change my pillowcases a bit more often but it did provide the effect I needed. I no longer have scars or brown spots on my face and raw honey makes your skin visibly more fresh and radiant. The bad news is that it took me almost a year to achieve this.The third option is using silicone-based products. Such are available over-the-counter and can be easily found in every pharmacy store. What I like about silicone is that it is absolutely safe when applied to the skin (no adverse reactions are observed, unlike most formulas containing irritants) and the variety of clinical backgrounds, proving its regenerating effect on the skin.It basically makes your skin produce more collagen until the damaged tissue is restored. And the results will come faster, compared to the natural remedies mentioned above. Most people with newly formed acne scars report they obtained optimal results within 2 months. Older scars, unfortunately, require a more prolonged application of silicone gels or creams. Usually, 5–6 months are enough.Hope my answer helps!Best of luck!
Hi, I've never actually used Melacare cream, but looking at the ingredients which are Hydroquinone (2%), Tretinoin (.025%), and Mometasone Furoate at 0.1%, it should prove effective at lightening dark spots as hydroquinone inhibits your skin's melanin production. There are concerns about the safety of hydroquinone in skincare, but the HQ in this formula is at 2%, which is considered acceptable by regulators. You may also see some progress with adult acne and wrinkle reduction due to the Tretinoin (also known as Retinoic Acid). If you do try this cream out, I would urge you to patch test as the Mometasone Furoate is a corticosteroid which can cause contact dermatitis (allergies). Hydroquinone is actually one of the more potent skin lightening ingredients, I avoid it myself in favor of a cocktail of other skin lightening and hyperpigmentation correcting ingredients like Arbutin (closely related to hydroquinone but generally regarded as safer), Vitamin C (I use L-Ascorbic Acid), and Vitamin B3 (called Niacinamide). It's also paramount that you use a broad spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and PA+++. The sun is what causes acne scarring and sun spots, so it's important you block it out.If you have an interest in skincare, might I suggest you check out this skincare forum?
