Currently Playing: How to Treat Dark Circles in Black & Brown Skin

Dark circles on black and brown skin? You’re probably treating the wrong type. 🖤 Here’s what nobody tells you. Dark circles aren’t one thing. They’re three. 🟤 Pigmentation - brown, flat, runs into your lid. That’s melanin. Usually genetic. 💜 Vascular - blue, purple and pink tones beneath the skin. 📐 Structural - hollowness and shadows that come with age. In youth it’s mostly pigmentation. With age it becomes structural. If you don’t know which one you have, no eye cream will work. For pigmentation dark circles on melanin-rich skin you need tyrosinase inhibitors going directly into the melanocytes: ✅ Kojic Acid Dipalmitate ✅ Niacinamide ✅ Alpha Arbutin ✅ Caffeine to constrict vessels ✅ Hyaluronic Acid to plump and hydrate Love, Dr. V 🖤 #DarkCircles #Hyperpigmentation #SkinOfColor #MelaninSkin #EyeCream
