I've been testing some new products. The OleHenriksen Banana Bright Eye Cream + Vitamin C is really showing results after 6 wks. It has Vit. C and Collagen and I do see some brightening and smoother skin under my eyes. It's available in a kit with other "O H" products or alone. $42 for .05 oz which is same size as my other eye creams.

The best feature is that it goes well under concealer. Just a tiny bit on the ring finger is quite enough.

@Shanus  I just read the reviews for this product on the Sephora website. Some posters there said they had an allergic reaction, puffy red eyelids, eczema, severe dryness, redness, etc. There are several photos.

Some reviews were positive.

I won't use a product that's not labeled hypoallergenic.

I tried this eye cream for close to a month. I saw no change in area around my eyes. Returned.

@Shanus --I do love those products especially the red tea cleanser--think I will try the eye cream.

Unfortunately, I cannot use this product. It is just too harsh for me.  However, I do have sensitive skin, especially under and around my eyes.  I am glad it works for some though!

Hesperidin is a key ingredient used here, found in lots of eye creams for brightening and bruised discoloration, dark circles. . Good for inflammation. you will find it added to Diosmin supplements used for varicose veins. It is included in Lessman's Diosmin caps for circulation in the legs.

I'm taking an oral supplement right now, to see if it will do anything to bad discoloration on my ankle. So far, no improvement.  I'll give it six months.

Read the ingredient list!  

They have switched preservatives, now using phenoxyethanol.  If that does not set your skin to itching, then count the plant/fruits.

But no worries, thank goodness for sorbitol.

Jean, have you tried using Arnica Cream for your ankle, Dr Oz always swears by this for bruising and other purple types of discolorations.
