When all you drink is water, get 9 hours a sleep on average, eat healthy, and have dark circles your whole life
Same here! Have you ever done a kidney cleanse or a liver cleanse?
😂
It can also be bone structure
The treatment is under eye filler, that's it. But you'd have to get it once a year and there's a lot of associated risks
Genetics 🧬
Sinus..
Just me watching this video about dark circles at 4am wondering why I have them...
Lol 😂
@@texasproud4180 3am for me. You're the winner so far!
Same, but you now, they didn't list lack of sleep as a cause so not feeling guilty about it this time XD
4:30 loooool
hahaha
My go-to home remedy is to dye my face yellow using turmeric powder.
That way people stop asking about my dark-circles, and only ask about why my face is yellow.
Thank you for reading.
😂
Lmaoo
Lol!
Lamao 😂😂😂
You truly are a genius
Since I was a little girl, I’ve had thin eye skin and you can literally see my veins on my top eyelid. But the darkness under my eyes make me look sick. It’s really taken my confidence away when wearing no makeup.
Same I'm the on my family member with them 🥺
I have it too all my life.
Same...
Same same
Same nothing like hearing "oh you look so tired/sick ect. You need to sleep more/drink more ect " when u are like 10
Caffeine, Retinoid, Kojic acid, Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Tranexamic acid, Azelaic acid, Alpha arbutin (Derma filler, laser)
I always watch their videos twice because the first time I’m mesmerized by their smile and general cuteness.
It’s so true!!!
You can say that again.
.and they come across as calm kind spirits...i love that about them. True humanity😇
@@nicoleallen3079 darn, you already said what I was about to write😆
Yeah they’re too fine
Me too!
I’m 25 and feel like my face’s prominent “flaw” are my hollow dark circles. I was genetically cursed with them and am so insecure if I don’t cover them with concealer :c
Me too 😪
Same here 🥺
Have your iron level checked. I’m severely anemic and can tell when I need more iron because I get dark circles
Have the some problem
Same 😥😥
This helps a lot! But I’m a visual learner so I was thinking if showing a sample picture of each “reasons” might have help me more to distinguish if what kind I have. Like what does the shadowing look like vs. The hyperpigmentation, unless they all look the same then this video is very educational! Thank you again!
There was me sitting with my fingers crossed hoping there was another solution for hollows than fillers 😔
That's expensive too😶
Same here, i scared of injections and we are talking needles on face under eye🙀🙀
Yeah me too. I hear that there's the option of injecting platelet-rich plasma under the eyes instead of dermal fillers, but I'm unsure of how true and effective it is so you might wanna do extra research on it. But I feel like it's a more natural option since there's no risk of filler migration or filler accidentally getting injected into a vein/blood vessel and possibly going blind if not caught in time to use hyaluronidase to dissolve it.
Use inkfruit powder. It works
fat transfer to face can help
Love the notes on the screen. I did a lot of screen shots.
Thank you Angela - Always love seeing your support in the the comments section :)
Hi Doctors, thank you for making this video.
Would you please make a video about how we can identify what is causing our specific dark eye circles so that we can try to decide what to do to fix this?
Am I the only one thinking Dr Max has a smile that one can just get lost and say Yes to whatever he says? Like, he would be the Dr I would totally follow his instructions completely
I'm only 22 but my eye bag is so big it makes me look older than my age.
I felt that
Hello! I love your videos and the fact that you take the time to explain the causes. It is my favorite part as I can get a better understanding. Thank you very much!!
In this video you mentioned a video about eye bags specifically. WE NEED THAT! :)
P L E A S E
Yess..A video for eye bags🙏
Yes!
i feel sooo bad 😭😭
having olive skin tone and dark circles it's a nightmare for me
and people always tell me that im "beautiful" my only issue it's my REALLY dark circles
I felt this ! Same
Have you seen the dark circles kit by dr vanita rattan? She has a CZcams channel and she specialises in hyper pigmentation for skin of colour... I'm using her dark circles kit right now.
Have you seen any improvements? I also watch her channel but there was a post on reddit that said she is not a dermatologist and that her products are not good.
@@mahimakalla1861 Did it
@@Fatima-yg7qy yeah she's not derm but know about her products
Great videos guys! Love the explanations on what causes issues. Could you do a video on preventing wrinkles? Thanks.
I've had dark circles since I was a baby... I never even learned how to cover them with concealer or anything because it ends up looking ridiculous. I hope one day I can go see a dermatologist and get them treated. Although I'm used to them I feel like it would increase my confidence so much not having dark shadows under my eyes 24/7. Pretty sure mine is from structure and thin skin.
❤
Got mine last year
@@DrJames_YT does it really work and does it have side effects?
@@erry3516 nah I got dark circles like crazy last year. I just got the cerave repair eye cream last week tho and apparently it made a small difference as of right now, according to my mom. I don’t believe it made a difference to be honest cause it in reality takes weeks to see a difference
@@DrJames_YT sadly.. there really is no hope for us to even get rid of them. Nothing works it's making me depressed
Ever since I was a wee kid, every parlour aunty would feel like they had this moral obligation of letting me know that I had dark circles and follow it up with, "try applying potato slices/cucumber slices/ lemon slices/ baking soda/milk/bleaching cream/fair&lovely cream(ohoo gave away my location)etc etc"
I realized into my mid teens that I had glasses+ deep set eyes+ horrible lighting+highly judgemental parlour aunties. And all this while I was mixing up salads on my goddamn face. Thanks, aunties. I will make sure to apply fair&lovely before coming to your teravi.😒
Omg same! I never knew I had dark circles until other people pointed them out and made me feel self conscious about them. I've bought like 50 different concealers to try and cover them up. I give up bc none of them 100% work.
Gurl, I have sunken eyes. That's literally the only reason..
Oh god I can feel you gal...I had the same issue since childhood...deep set eyes and glasses make it more complicated even today😭
When you mentioned the aunties, AND fair & lovely cream I laughed and said to myself "yup, she's from india"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I needed this. Ive always been told. "You dont sleep enough". But even when i did get enough sleep in a period. Nothing changed. So thanks fir this😁
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!
Thank you Dr. Shah & Dr. Maxfield, your videos are very informative.❤️❤️
Thank you for your support!
I love their explanation theyre super detail and compact and concise
I was going to search your channel for dark circles, so I opened CZcams and this was the first video in my feed.
I would love to watch a video of you guys recommending the best eye creams. For youth, older, dark circles, puffy eyes etc!♥️🙌🏼
Tysm actually been doing some research on that lately 😃
Looking forward to the eye bag session! Thanks for a very informative session.
I really wish you guys would do a video where you explain step by step which products should go on first second and etc. You mention a lot of products and ingredients so I would like to know which products go on first and such morning and evening , thank you for your consideration
A
Ahhhh I need that eye bag video like NOW!
Thank you both for these videos! I'm literally binging them all!
Hey Docs!
I have got dark circles that are probably hereditary from my mum as i have had them since as a child
I am fed up of people telling me that i have such a nice skin and i should get rid of my darkcircles
Quite honestly I haven’t been able to try eye creams on a regular basis consistently but whenever i have it stopped results when i stopped wearing them.
I am also a student so on a budget
Really need your help on this
You guys are the best. Articulate, intelligent and personable. ❤
Thanks for referencing drugstore products!
me a few years ago, holding my newborn child already having very visible dark circles: ok buddy, so it's not us having not slept enough - because you've been chillin out a whole lot - it's gotta be genetics.
that was me. in my very first baby pictures, i was sporting eye bags and dark ones at that. LOL. i'd like to think it adds character to our face :)
For me, fillers under my eyes was the best solution as I had a shadowing problem. I was hesitant for a couple of years, but so glad I tried it, makes such a difference.
How long do your fillers last?
I don’t know yet as this is my first time. My plastic surgeon told me 6 to 10 months normally
@@minoublack May I ask the price?You look good!!
Can you do it for life? Or will it stiffen up the face
How is it after one year. Please give your honest feedback
Dr. Max and Dr.shah , thanks for your valuable time in making up valuable videos about skin care , I’ve been following your videos long time they are informative .
I watch your videos like drilling day and night and relize how should I start taking care of my skin by today. I saw lot of beauty influencers have really complicated routines (for me), but not yours. Those are simply perfect, gonna get some product soon and try asap.
Thank you for this video! Definitely one of a kind in regards to understanding/treating eye circles. Is it possible to use lasers directly on the upper eyelid or would that be dangerous for the eye itself?
Great video. I'd love to see you guys talking about red marks acne leaves.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, very pleasant to see you giggling and being spontaneous. 🙏💗
Would really love to see a video on under eye bags, treatment options, tear trough filler, surgery etc.
Thank you so much for recommending this Doc! Very helpful.
Thanks for joining us from TikTok!
I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and my skin is just naturally kind of see-through. Been trying to do anything I can to thicken the skin but it's not easy. Thanks for making this video!
Have you found anything helpful? I've always wondered if you can thicken your skin
Dr. Shah, I have super sensitive eyes, which flare up whenever I use any kind of cream on my lids or undereye area . . . possibly similar to you! Interestingly, the rest of my skin is not at all sensitive. Eg, I use tretinoin and glycolic acid with no irritation whatsoever. I have deep eye wrinkles which are only getting worse as I age, so really need to use something. What would you recommend as an eye cream for my sensitive eyes? Thank you.
Love you guys !!! Your channel is fun n very informative. Love that you guys can laugh at yourselves when a word isn’t pronounced right the first time. Laid back lots of information n you can see n feel your genuine great guys. Thanks for the info
I have tear trough depression. Probably didn’t help that I spent my twenties crying just about every day😅
Maybe this is a really stupid question but I have a lot of great skin care products and I'm afraid that I'm using them incorrectly. Can you please tell me when you put on eye cream should you just put it under your eye or should you put it on your eyelid as well? Currently I just put it under my eye.
@@melaney7252
The way I apply mine is I place it in the area where the top of my cheek and my under eye meet and then blend it up to my eye. For me it ensures the product blended well.
A HUGE tip though is to not use too much product at once. Heavy/thick creams can make your undereyes hollow, so just be sure to use small amounts
Same about the crying lol. I understand.
Thank you for this video! Can you talk about eye bags more ? Like what causes them and how to get rid of that puffiness
Ugh. Yes please!!!
Yes, please
Yes PLEASE PUFFINESS MORE INFO
Please !
For my eyebags a different pillow helped a lot. I used to sleep on quite a high pillow, that bend the neck upwards (hard to explain) For other reasons I switched to an orthopeadic pillow that has a dent for the head to lay in so the head is in a straighter position when you lay on your back and for when you lay on your side the sides of the pillow are higher. Within 2 weeks the eyebags I had for over 20 years almost disappeared completly. So for me it was lymph-fluid built up because of my bad posture while sleeping. Hope that helps someone :) of course there are also other causes for eyebags.
OMG they are so real they talk so authentically they are amazing
Best video and info I’ve come across on this topic! Thank you
You 2 are so awesome !! Thank you for all the information. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. Binging watching all the videos.
Hi there, thank you for your informative videos that have finally prompted me to take my skin care more seriously. I was wondering if you would recommend the ordinary caffeine and HA eye cream as well? It's quite a bit less pricey than the vichy and seems to have similar ingredients. I know you say that the brand is good but that not all products within a brand can be trusted so I'm being cautious. The ordinary does have twice the number of ingredients as the Vichy so it might be better that way? But I don’t have sensitive skin so would that mean it doesn’t really matter how many ingredients there are? Would really appreciate your help!
Vichy tests on rabbits. Those animals get tied up and then chemicals farces into their eyes. The ordinary does not do it and is very effective.
I love the information you provide and that you give recommendations. Thank you!
Impatiently awaiting the dedicated video covering Eye Bags.
I love watching you and learning things from both of you. However, can you possibly recommend a good anti-aging eye cream that is cruelty free? Vichy & LaRoche-Posay are not cruelty free. Thanks!!!
Thank you!! I am looking forward to the eye bag video!
Coming soon! I suffer from bags myself!
Seriously! You guys are so cute. I love you and your channel. I’m binging all your videos. Thanks for sharing your passion. I’m learning a lot and plan to see a derm now.
Yes thank you. I’ve been waiting for this. I ask on tiktok. Appreciate this!
I'm glad it helps!
In my baby picture from the hospital, I have dark circles. It’s something I’ve always had. Now that I am 55, I have my dark circles and bags. Is there anything I can do to address the dark circles since they are hereditary? My nightly routine includes Neutrogena grapefruit face wash, Rose water Micellar Rose cleansing water, Tree of life Retinol and Neutrogena evening hydro gel acid. Morning morning routine includes Neutrogena grapefruit face wash, Micellar Rose cleansing water, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and Neutrogena hydro water boost which includes hyaluronic acid. I must say that since I started using this routine daily/nightly, my face has become more smooth and supple. Now I am just looking to address the dark circles that I’ve had all my life.
Thx to both of you for all the information you provide to us,. With your busy schedules you still have time for your viewers! Many thanks ❤️
Our pleasure! Thank you so much for your support :)
Super easy to understand. Thank you doctors
Justini can't wait to see you next Thursday!
Hi doctors, would really appreciate if you made a video on vitiligo..I know it is rather rare but it would feel more inclusive for those who do have it and informative for those who don't. I really hope you read this comment and add content on vitiligo:)
Best, M
I would love to know what are some good retinoid eye creams?
Aesthetics RN here. Great comprehensive video!
Love watching all your videos. Just wondering what your thoughts are related to nutrition or things to consume or avoid for skin health.
I'm a physician myself and I really like your videos - and that you help colleagues with exams etc. I am astonished how bad education in dermatology is in medical school.... People are very sensitive to how they look; a good hair day is astonishingly disproportionate (rationally) with the emotional / self confidence / confidence effects. People who feel they look less attractive has a disproportionate effect as well. Personally I use products where all ingredients are legal in the EU, Would be interested in a video about potential concerning ingredients. Know nothing about Derm. so I may be over reacting.......Thanks again G
looking forward to sunscreen recommendations
Very informative. You two are adorable and thanks for educating us. 😊🌸🤍
Can you please do a video on eye bags and also the impacts (if any) of screen time and sleep!! Thank you!! Love your videos 🥰
Caffeine definitely is helping I’m using the ordinary caffeine solution at night while I sleep I keep it in my fridge a lil dab of the cold solution and it really de puffs helps with the shadow too I also use TO Niacinamide and then daily I use eye creams from dr Perricone that do have high concentrations of vitamin c I also incorporate alpha arbutin from TO another thing that has really help with the skin around my eyes is Red light IR light therapy
Hi, can i please ask do you use these everyday?
Can you guys do a video for people with freckles?? As far as helping us look more even toned, which is very hard with obviously uneven skin. Etc. There’s hardly any videos for us covered in them.
YES!!! Please
Turmeric oil can help lighten them. I used it to lighten and brighten my face and removed sun spots
I just came up with this channel today.
Knowledgeable Men! Omg Dr Maxfield I just want to watch and Listen to 😂😍
You both are Wonderful! Thank you for the information you bring to us. 😇
I'm waiting for the EYE BAGS video!🙏 I have both dark circles and eye bags that is genetic because mostly all of my family has it. Once when i was little i "erased them" getting out the fluid with a syringe (the doc, not me) but it relapses quickly so I wouldn't do it again. And even when I sleep 10 hours, they are still smiling at me big and fluffy. I accepted them but even so😂

Good information and hilarious delivery
I think I have a combo of shadowing and genetic disposition. Thank you for touching on the shadowing factor. When I do my own research, that doesn’t really pop up. I’ve always noticed that certain lighting, angles, etc. make my dark circles more pronounced.
Can face exercises build muscle in your face and plump the area up?
@@selfcareforbg2040 from what I’ve researched, no to the latter point. But I do think they could define your face.
@@selfcareforbg2040 no, but Vit c and retinol can stimulate collagen in the skin and make them look less pronounced
The have such a crush on doctor Maxfield
Love love love your videos thank you so much, both of you are awesome 😊
Thank you for the awesome and informative video! Can you guys make a video reviewing some of the eye creams/serums according to the ingredients list and suggest some effective ones?
Can you give an example of retinol products that are safe around the eyes?
i had eczema like 2 years ago around my eyelids and like 2 years later now i still have dark eyelids not as dark as before but i still have them u can see them a lil bit around the eye and ive stopped itching at that spot any suggestions???
currently binge watching all of you videos.. can you do a video on how to use retinoids for under the eyes specifically? i saw your video on using retinoids for in general. should i be using the sale techniques for my eyes as well? the sandwiching and gradual usage? thank you so much drs
The on screen chemistry 💖✨✨✨
Dr. Shah, I just saw the live you did with CeraVe and I have to say you were amazing! Definitely learned a lot! Thank you for taking your time to help us get better skin 😄
Ah thank you so much for tuning in! I'm glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful. PS I was kinda nervous for it tbh
@@Doctorly Even so you nailed it! 🙂
Doctorly don’t be nervous! You don’t look nervous in your TikToks lol
@@meghandandrea4790 haha thank you - you know what's funny, I give lectures all the time, some to large groups of people at conferences. 99% of the time I'm not nervous. But then there's that 1%, especially for talks I've been looking forward to doing for a long time, that I still get nervous for
Doctorly I get it! I’m a teacher haha I subscribed and follow you on TikTok. I sincerely need help with what eye cream to use. We need a video on that. I also have watched and favorites all your videos to refer back to. Only vitamin C serum in the AM and retinoid at night? There are so many options!
Love your videos and I look forward to them! 👍 Which city are you located?
We are in Wilmington NC!
I'm loving this video!
Love you guys! Is there a video on recommended eye creams?? Would love the input!!!
My surgeon removed the excess fat from under my eyes that had created a bulge and shadowing. No more dark circles!!
I would love to hear about puffiness under the eyes! That's my issue. I've had bags under my eyes for many, many years
Try using a jade roller daily, keep it in the fridge. Works wonders!
@@neveralone7212 Same problem, I've started using the Jade Roller exactly the same way as you've mentioned here & it's almost close to a month now. Honestly till now i haven't seen any significant difference. But I plan on to keep using it anyway. Also to make some life style changes along with it. Maybe I'd update about it after a few months hopefully.
@@preetird8385 any update?
@@preetird8385 updates?😩
@@shesadiamond5167 Hey
While using Jade roller it definitely gives a cooling effect. And yeah I used it by keeping in fridge. There is no lymphatic drainage as such. And not much reduce in dark circles (majorly cuz the work timings and sleep timings extend late for me)
. After using for few months I lost the touch of it. Now I use it whenever I feel like and not regular. So it all boils down to life style changes again. Good sleep, good water intake and monitoring screen time, good nutrition etc.
Another tip: These days some under eye creams or serums come with rollers try those.
Dr Shah, please add more videos on off the counter USA based products on dark knees, dark under arms for Indian skin. Huge community with these issues
Aren't you'll like the most cutest and the best dermatologists ever, I mean I cnt stop watching you both talk literally you can talk abt anything I'm just gonna listen 🙈, honestly I'm taking better care of skin thanks and much love ❤
Please please please can you do a video on sagging eyelids? I’m considered “mature” now 🙄 as far as my skin (just turned 50) and I actually have pretty good skin but my BIGGEST skincare issue is droopy eyelids. Is there a topical treatment for long term improvement? I see a lot of “instant “ products but that doesn’t interest me. Thank you for providing such valuable information in your videos. So glad I found your channel
I think there is only so much one can do as we age. I’m only 27 but I’ve accepted the fact that I get wrinkles I get wrinkles. I found a gray hair actually last week. I mean even if top fitness gurus and celebrities with millions of dollars getting old looking we ultimately can’t stop aging and our faces will be saggy. Dolly Parton been under the knife how many times still looks old. It’s okay to be 50.
@@cocomarineblu993 This is true! I'm actually okay with aging... gracefully...lol...but these damn hooded eyelids drive me crazy. If there was a non-surgical treatment for that, I'd be perfectly happy with every other aspect of aging. I don't wear make-up so I can't even strategically mask them (if I even knew how, though I'm sure there's a video on it!) Anyway, thanks for taking the time to reply. 😊
I don't really have dark circles, but I would like to treat and/or prevent crow feet from getting worse. How would you recommend treat those?
I love the way they speak😍
i love your videos so informative to listen to
@doctorly how high is the risk of getting blind if getting a laser treatment under the eyes (for getting rid of close to the eye blood vessles)?
Now I understand why every day cream instruction says :avoid eye area💥
My two favorite docs 🙌
I'm hooked with watching your videos everyday. I feel more clever now hahaha. You two look awesome. Stay safe and enjoy life.
