Thanks for the follow up and photograph.
The under eye patches are due to slight hollowness under your eyes.
Apply depiwhite cream daily in night and sunban soft sunscreen in morning on regular basis.
Along with this take plenty of water and food rich in vitamin C and Vitamin E. You can increase consumption of lemon juice and uncooked tomato.
This should help you.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.

Thank you so much doc for sharing the remedies. I have few queries on them:
1) Are these dark circles?
2) Are they related to insomnia or stress? (I'm trying to have moderate sleep though)
3) What's depiwhite and sunban cream? It would be great if you can share the link to these products (from XXXXXXX or any online store) or attach their images/share full product name
4) Can we apply lemon juice on face or you recommend having it in food/drinks?
5) Vitamin C/E foods suggestions please
