Dark circles around the eyes can be caused by various factors such as lack of sleep, dehydration, allergies, or genetics. To help reduce the appearance of dark circles, you can try using an eye cream containing ingredients like vitamin C, retinol, or hyaluronic acid. Some popular brands include Cetaphil Hydrating Eye Gel-Cream or Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Eye Cream. Apply a small amount of the cream gently around the eyes twice a day, in the morning and evening, for best results. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated, get enough sleep, and manage any allergies to help improve the appearance of dark circles.

Question

I've been using bio oil on my stretch marks for a few weeks now and I can slowly see results. I've got a question though. Is it okay to use bio oil on my face for massage? I've got acne-prone, sensitive combination skin. I'd love to massage my face once a week to boost blood flow and relax my muscles, but I'm worried about oils clogging my pores and causing more acne. I've heard from friends that bio oil helps with acne scars, so I'm curious if it's safe for facial use. If bio oil isn't suitable, could you recommend an appropriate oil for face massage? Would really appreciate your advice!

I've been on isotretinoin for a few months, and I'm in my 5th month now. My doctor upped my dose to 20 mg twice daily 'cause it wasn't working much initially. But now, after about 45 days, my hair's gotten thinner, and when I was checking out some videos on isotretinoin's side effects, someone mentioned it could cause erectile dysfunction. Since hearing that, I've started experiencing it too, and it's been happening for the past 5 days. Its stressing me out and affecting my mood. I havent told my doctor about the erection issue, but my dose got cut back to just 20 mg a day. Besides that, I'm also dealing with a stomach ache, digestion issues, testicular discomfort, and dryness in my throat, eyes, and lips. Im super confused and anxious about continuing isotretinoin. Could it really be the cause? What should I do? Your guidance could really help me out.

I'm currently taking Acutret tablets and I've heard that using any cosmetic cream while on this medication might not be a good idea. Can you tell me why that is or what might happen if I do use some creams?
