How to get rid of dark circles around the eyes. Are you troubled by dark circles under or around your eyes? Unlike most skin discoloration on the face, dark circles are often not the result of skin damage, but instead due to blood congregating around the eyes due to poor microcirculation and lymphatic drainage. Due to this, traditional means of dealing with skin discoloration such as vitamin A, vitamin C and alpha hydroxy acids are ineffective. But here's a natural solution. Peptides such as regu-age and eyeliss can dramatically reduce dark circles by increasing microcirculation and lymphatic drainage. And give you, younger, healthier looking skin. A very safe and effective option we've found is the tetra peptide eye cream by Mad Hippie. This eye cream can help reduce discoloration and wrinkles around the eyes.
