    Default Minox may be causing dark rings under my eyes

    As the title says, I can't be certain but it seem that minox is giving me dark rings under my eyes. One observer commented that it looks like I have black eyes.

    I'm doing two applications per day, perhaps slightly more than 2mL per day. Is there a solution to this or should I start tapering off to avoid permanent damage?

    Your body is telling you something. Do you think you should listen to it or ignore it?

    Thumbs up

    Could just be lack of sleep or a nutritional issue? I would use the foam personally!

    Just reduce your usage of twice a day to once per day and then get more sleep and hydrate and you should see a reduction in the circles issue if you don't then you need to stop taking it for a week to two weeks and see if the circles fade then and start back on a lesser regimen of one dosage during the day preferably foam instead of the liquid and if that doesn't work dial down the percentage from 5 percent to 2 percent.

    This.

    Do they have 2% foam?
