Benefits:

Cucumber:
Compounds in the cucumbers and their temperature may explain their effectiveness. There are a lot of antioxidants present in cucumber including cucurbitacins, vitexin, orientin and isoscoparin, along with Vitamin C and K. Antioxidants may help reduce the inflammation that causes puffiness and dark circles. Cucumbers work best to reduce puffiness of eyes and dark circles when chilled. The cool temperature eases puffiness and discourages the accumulation of fluid under your eyes. Vitamin K helps reduce the discoloration that causes dark circles. Cucumbers also have skin-lightening and mild astringent properties that can help you to fix those dark circles naturally.
-
Potato:
Potatoes contain natural bleaching agents that lighten skin when used regularly over time. Potatoes contain catecholase that helps you to reduce puffiness under the eyes. Potatoes also contain the nutrients antioxidants skin needs to stay firm, smooth and bright. The Vitamin C, starch, and enzymes in potato also nourish our skin. The Vitamin A in potatoes keeps the skin firm.

All these help the under eye area to restore its youthful looks. The anti-aging properties also help maintain the collagen of the skin. The gel also helps stimulate collagen formation to help restore the suppleness of the skin around the eyes. It also helps lessen inflammation and helps increase blood circulation to the under eye area.

Another important vitamin for the treatment of dark circles is Vitamin E. This is a fat soluble vitamin and at the same time , a powerful source of antioxidants. The antioxidant properties serves to protect cells and tissues from free radical damage and from the ultraviolet rays of the sun. Vitamin E is capable of treating dark circles completely.

The antioxidants in green tea bags is a great remedy for treating dark circles. The caffeine present in green tea shrinks blood vessels and reduces the fluid retention in the tissues under the eyes.
