I don't know why but my eye lids are darker than the rest of my face and it looks like I'm sickly. Maybe it's back from when I used to live in gallons of black eyeliner but I don't really know what the cause is but I know my confidence is low and I don't want to have to pile on foundation every hour of the day to try and look healthy and normal. Is their a lightening cream you think could help this? I also have random dark splotches but those could be burns from curling irons and such which I obv can't do anything about =[

I can't recommend anything specific since I'm not using any creams right now myself just pills and vit b masks.
But in the past, creams with alpha-arbutin, niacinamide, Vitamin k and licorice extract worked the best.

Itsamor do you use a makeup remover at night and a cleansing face soap? Also, check into your diet and how much water you drink daily, it can also possibly be internal?
