I'm really struggling with dark circles and marks under my eyes. I've tried all sorts of face creams, face packs, and washes, but nothing seems to help. My skin is this annoying mix of oily and combination, and it always just looks dull. Do you have any advice on tablets or creams I should try?

For dark circles and dull skin, you can try using a combination of Vitamin C serum and retinol cream. You can use a Vitamin C serum in the morning to brighten the skin and reduce dark circles, and a retinol cream at night to improve skin texture and reduce marks. Additionally, you can consider taking Vitamin C supplements to further boost skin health. Make sure to use a non-comedogenic moisturizer suitable for oily and combination skin to keep your skin hydrated.
