I've been dealing with dark circles, wrinkles, and under-eye bags for the past two years, and I'm really concerned. My dermatologist recommended Elocon cream, but I know it's a steroid and it could have side effects. It works for a short time, but the dark patches come back quickly. Im starting to think maybe it's an allergy to dust mites. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm wondering if it's a good idea to switch between using Procapil and Redensyl on alternate mornings and then applying minoxidil every night? Also, are there any products that combine these ingredients, or are there other alternatives like Baicapil or Anagain that could give the best results? My dermatologist had me using Redensyl in the morning and minoxidil at night, before that it was Procapil, and both seemed to work well.
