Question 1

does coconut oil really make under-eye wrinkles disappeaer?

Accepted Answer

No: Coconut oil will not improve under eye wrinkles.  Moisturizing your skin may make your skin look a little better for a day or so but not in the long run.  The best home treatment for wrinkles is retin-a.  However, you will need to see your physician to get a prescription and for advise on how to use the medication while avoiding side effects.

Question 2

does coconut oil really make under eye wrinkles disappear? if yes, which oil would be the right one to use?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely : There are no creams that make eye wrinkles (crows feet) or deep trough (tear trough deformity) go away.  There are creams that can hide the shadowing giving the appearance of being more youthful.  The only true way to eliminate crows feet temporarily is with Botox or a surgical mid face loft that can improve the under eye/mid face aging issues.  Some fillers can also be done to improve deep lines.

Question 5

i got coconut oil in my eye and i didn't remove it. i have hazel eye and my question is if it burned will it change my eye color?

Accepted Answer

No: Coconut oil should not change your  eye color or damage your eye. Just wash it out and don't worry.

Question 6

i got coconut oil in my eye, now my eye from a distance looks brown. up close it's a darker green, brown in the center. is there something i can do?

Accepted Answer

See eye doc : The first thing I would recommend is that you see an eye doctor to evaluate the eye for injury--since what you are describing sounds very odd.  It's your eye, make certain you are taking care of it...

Question 7

got coconut oil in my eye. it's a dark green on the outside, the iris is a dark brown. from a distance it looks brown. i want my eye hazel again, help?

Accepted Answer

It will be normal!: The coconut oil cannot penetrate inside the eye and cause permanent color change to the iris, so in short, it will be completely back to normal within 24 hours.  Some people do have slightly brighter or darker irises on one side vs. the other and since you are paying more attention you may be picking this change up.

Question 8

i have a dry red flaky patch under my eye that doesn't itch. it's been there for a week and won't go away. i use moisturizer, coconut oil, it doesn't go away. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Assess: We really can't diagnose the cause of this lesion without an examination and history.

Question 9

hi i have dark eye circles and eye wrinkles. is it able to be cured? do coconut oil and cucumber slice help? if i sleep for 8 hrs, will it get better?

Accepted Answer

Skin, muscle, fat: Under eye circles can be caused by a variety of different conditions. At your age,  the use of oral contraceptives or pregnancy may cause dark pigmented circles around the eyes. Thin skin may make the underlying muscle visible with a blue appearance. Congenital prominence of the fat or a shallow orbit may make the fat or globe more prominent with visible lower lid bulges.

Question 10

how can i treat ringworm on my eyelids?  i've been using coconut oil, but it melts into my eyes causing blurry vision.

Accepted Answer

Vinegar: Carefully dab vinegar (acetic acid) on the eyelid.  Be VERY careful with this, not to get any in your eye.  Vinegar is a great anti-fungal.
