Genetic construct, weariness, irregular sleep patterns and unhealthy conditions or habits of living are the major causes to blame. The under-eye circle / lightening treatment kills the under-eye troughs, rejuvenates and reconstructs the skin surrounding the eyes, and cures swelling, bruises and circles.
