    Dark under eye circles- black man
    Hi Folks, I am new to this board but looks great. Here is my question: I have hyperpigmentation under my eyes which makes me look tired all the time. Well, being African-American has made this topic very sensitive because I choose not to wear make-up. I am medium complexion (Will Smith shade) but got Michael Jordan dark spots.

    I've read about several products such as monobenzone and hydroquinone. Is there any side effects I should be aware of and does this stuff work? I am considering both on a trail basis in the 5% to 20% range. Surgery is another option but it looks evasive and costly. Thanks in advance.

    Don't use monobenzone for that you should go for something like
    Arbutin,hydroquinone 2%, Alpha hydroxy acids, Kojic acid, Azelaic acid, Vitamin C AND Glutathione

    If you use monobenzone you will be will smith's complexion with white curcles over your eyes.

    Thanks for the response, I did read that monobenzone will remove the cells that create any skin color (i.e. albino).
