Do coffee, lemon & honey actually work for dark circles?
Dermatologists Dr Iftekhar Khan and Dr Ekansh Shekhar explain that dark circles arise from vascular, melanin, and structural factors. Topical coffee, lemon, and honey offer limited antioxidant or anti-inflammatory effects but cannot address underlying pathology. Clinically validated interventions combined with lifestyle optimisation are required for measurable and sustained reduction.
