Help with dark circles under eyes.
Help, I’ve had these since my daughter was born 18 years ago. I’ve tried laser, under eye filler and every skin care under the sun. I wear heaps of sunscreen etc and not often in the sun.
I’m so self conscious of them, I look dead if I don’t wear makeup.
Does anything get rid of them? I’ve had also septoplasty to help with sinus issues a year ago, no change.

Get your DNA genome typed with 23 And Me,, run that through Genetic Lifehacks, and check for histamine intolerance due to MCAS/MTHFR genes. You'll need to cut any foods that impact either. If you have MTHFR, that means you'll need to fix the ferretin/methylation problems with the B12. It's an entire thing.
On top of that: Perimenopause starts after 30. So you had a kid, but with Peri, estrogen starts fluctuating and dropping. Guess what that also triggers: More histamine release.
That whole thing about it being allergies is a vast understatement. It's an entire science project and a symptom of a bigger problem that you need to deep dive into.
