Does vitamin k creme really work for under eye dark circles?

Asked by silky1 (1510points) January 25th, 2011

I want to try it for my dark circles. These circles are from broken veins not lack of sleep or stress.

For eliminating small broken blood vessels (aka spider veins) on the face, you need to have laser treatment. It is done in a doctor’s office, is uncomfortable but bearable and has excellent results. Medical insurance will not pay because it is a cosmetic procedure.

Laser treatment

I got zapped several years ago and was pleased with the results. My sister is having it done in early Feb. You need to wear a hat and sun block when out in the sun in order to protect the delicate skin.

No. Waste of money.

Any over the counter topical beauty product lotion that says it does something other than hydrate skin is a complete lie… I used to work in that industry, it’s all spin.
