So I was able to buy some coconut oil moisturizing cream with vitamin E at the dollar store, as well as vitamin E beauty oil. I noticed the oil also has coconut oil as well, so hopefully that’ll work well if the first doesn’t… If that’s even what you meant, as clearly I’m struggling a bit:}!

Personally, I mainly use Shea Butter (Butyrosperum Parkii for the INCI list name!) for many things. It is only one product with a lot of uses. And it being just one ingredient so to speak of, I'm less worried about any issues.
Maybe it's the "hippie" in me, but I've tried to cater my cosmetics usage to more natural and "neutral" in a way.
I do get some stuff from Deciem, something from the Ordinary range. (One member actually told about that brand and Niacimide in particular!)
That shop does have Argan Oil, it's great.
I guess it's a bit of balancing, sometimes more natural and sometimes more stronger not-so-natural cosmetics.
I highly recommend reading about comedogenic index related to oils and skincare products. I've had and have issues with my skin and I wish everyone else to have good skin. Maybe one day I shall as well. In that sense, knowledge about comedogenic index and certain cosmetic ingredients can help a lot.

arkailija;n1815672 said:Caffeine Solution 5% + egcg from Deciem? Less than 10 USD to my understanding and the ingredients are pretty good. Two or three which of I'm not so crazy about, but overall worth of a shot. I bought it but I haven't had a solid course with it yet to really rave about results.
Overall, dark eyecontours, it's tricky ... I've had such from a younger age already. Good balanced meals, supplementation wise Zinc is pretty decent for many things.
Of course make-up can help, light pens and such, but those must be used with care (as make-up can also make you look worse) and it's only cosmetic.
Cold spoon or water / tea bags under the eyes are supposed to speed up bloodflow in a certain way. Or more so perhaps dilate if that's more correct, making the darkness and puffiness less.
And of course sleep is one thing, sometimes the darkness is from not sleeping well enough, but other times it can be a vitamin defiency. C and D can be taken into consideration supplementation wise.
Just something from the top of my head, world is full of possibilities and if I made blatant errors, someone can correct me.
