Crow's Feet and Dark Circles

I'd say I'm a typical guy who has never bothered with skin care type products, but as I'm getting older these 2 features are definitely becoming more pronounced. Any other guys use anything to combat these 2 things or at least make them less noticeable?

Didn't feel like i was getting old until i've now had on a 3 different occasions this year had younger girls comment that I seem a bit old for them(they were between the ages of 23-25). Never received that comment before even just a couple years ago. And i think the 2 issues in the title are what's causing it to be more noticeable.

I never used anything topical for dark circles. I'm sure there's a few causes of eye bags, but for me I took a thyroid supplement and that seemed to clear it up for the most part.

For crows feet I used retin-a

unsure about eye bages/dark circles, as I think there can be multiple reasons for them.

For the other stuff: Sunscreen every day (with good UVA protection), an oil cleanser, a traditional cleanser, moisturize, and tretinoin (ease into it).
r/skincareaddiction can get you started.

Came in here to post this.

OP get on that tretinoin trend since it works compared to other bull crap. Moisturizer 30 minutes before using then apply tretinoin and wait another 30 minutes to apply moisturizer again.

If you don’t want to get tretinoin then get a regular otc retinol cream for around the eyes. Make sure to wear a sunscreen everyday due to your skin being more prone from the creams.

IIRC, dark circles can be caused by a myriad of different things, but i saw this video one time and this guy says one cause is from astuckiliocecal valve in the intestines.


But also, this guy is a chiropractor so do what you will with this info
