What is vitamin K?

Because you don’t hear a lot about it, you may be asking what is vitamin K? Well, it’s primarily known for promoting blood clotting. Not the bad kind, but rather the healthy normal clotting we need so we don’t bleed to death if we have a cut. Therefore, it is commonly used to help with various circulatory issues. It has also been known to be helpful for hemorrhaging and bone health.

What’s the purpose of vitamin K eye cream?

As mentioned, vitamin K is most well known for its ability to help with circulatory problems. When applied in a topical cream form, it has been known to help bruises, spider veins, and other related conditions. Vitamin K eye cream is typically used to help with under eye dark circles, which are caused by overly prominent blood capillaries which are dark purple in color. Reportedly, vitamin K cream helps to diminish their appearance.

Does it actually work?

Many people who use it do experience an improvement in their dark circles. In fact, it’s probably the most widely used treatment out there for this problem. However, it shouldn’t be looked upon as a miracle cure. Just like any product, some people will be satisfied, others won’t.  When in doubt, it’s always a good idea to ask a dermatologist or other skin care professional for advice to see if they would recommend it or not.
