Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic

Under eye darkness is not always due to hyperpigmentation.
It is more commonly due to the underlying subcutaneous vasculature shinning through the delicate under eye skin and also due to other factors like iron deficiency, skin sagging, genetic/ atopic dermatitis etc.
This cream is a combination of hydroquinone, mometasone and tretinoin. It is not meant for treatment of under eye dark circles and is also not advisable for use on the delicate skin of under eye.
This combination can cause irritation of delicate skin of under eye area apart from other side effects like atrophy and thinning of this already thin skin of under eye area.
Therefore I would suggest you to stop using this cream on under eye skin.
I would rather suggest you to seek an appointment with a dermatologist in your region for the needful.

Regards
