Hello, I had xanthoma under each eye. I've tried laser 3 years ago and it has worked for one eye only.
I really wanted to get rid of it and so I had a go with garlic : nothing to loose anyway... Well, it works perfectly!!!!!!
I was a little bit upset because the scab was rather large after 3 applications and it took more than one week to disappear completely.
Thanks a lot for giving this method (and sorry for the mistakes : I'm French! ).

I decided to try this after remembering my grandmother used it on my sisters acne and it really does work!!! I've had to do my eyes on average about every three months, mine are bad, and for the first few days my eyes are very swollen but after that I can wear make up and it covers them up. It's also helped decrease the dark circles. I put vaseline on my eyes when the area gets "raw" appearing to keep them from scabbing over. Friends have been amazed at the difference.

For years I've had Xanthelasmas (fatty deposits) around the orbit of my eye. I've had them surgically removed several years ago but they soon returned. After reading of the many healing uses for garlic, I decided to give it a try. I cut medium sized cloves in half and applied the juice to the deposit. I would hold the clove on the affected area for 10-15 minutes using slight pressure. After about 5 minutes, I could feel a slight burn. I continued this regiment for 3 days. After each treatment the size of the deposit was reduced and finally dried up after 3 treatments. It appeared to draw the fat to the surface which I removed with tweezers on the 3rd day. Presently I'm continuing this process on the other deposits. I've found fresh oily garlic when cut works best. I'm quite happy with the results. It also provided relief from the pain and swelling. Thank you for clinic and my oppurtunity to contribute.
