Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Pigmentation around the eyes could be due to various factors including familial, thin skin around the eyes, diabetes mellitus, deep eye sockets, stress and lack of sleep. You will not benefit from using topcoat cream around the eyes. Is a mid potent steroid and should not be used for prolonged duration. You could benefit from using cream containing 2% comic acid and vitamin C twice a day. You could also get glycolic acid peels done by a dermatologist once weekly for 6-8 times. If your eye sockets are very deep, they can cause a "shadow effect" which can be treated using dermal fillers. Lifestyle factors play an important role in reducing dark circles. Have a good diet with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Try to reduce stress by yoga/ meditation. Avoid prolonged computer/ TV usage. Try to get sound sleep for at least 6 -7 hours a day. These measures may help to lighten the pigmentation. Hope they help you. Take care.
