Q7. On a scale of 0–10, how bad do they think your dark circles are?
Mostly A’s → Pigmented Type Dark Circles
You’re likely dealing with excess melanin around the eyes. This can be genetic or triggered by sun, inflammation, or rubbing. Retinolite targets melanin production at the source and helps renew skin clarity.
Mostly B’s → Vascular Type Dark Circles
Your dark circles may be due to blood pooling or fragile capillaries under thin skin. Retinolite improves microcirculation and strengthens capillary walls with Pycnogenol®.
Mostly C’s → Structural Type Dark Circles
What you’re seeing are shadows from hollowness or volume loss. Consider pairing with collagen supplements or consulting a dermatologist for fillers.
,Mostly D’s → Mixed Type Dark Circles
You’ve got a bit of everything. You’ll benefit most from a multi-targeted approach. Retinolite is ideal for mixed circles that involve both pigment and vascular issues.
