note-Your Future Face", a high quality eye cream should be one of the necessary topicals in any anti-aging protocol. Facial moisturizers will NOT turn back the clock on aging or replace eye creams, they are merely an effective way to alleviate dry skin. You should find and use a product that contains active antiaging ingredients that does not add unnecessary oils to the skin. No eye product or cream should cause burning or stinging in the eye. If you experience these types of symptoms, discontinue use immediately. Consumers think the more eye cream they apply, the better the product works; and the faster the results are seen. This is false. Use the amount directed on the product's label because the manufacturer has taken into account the effectiveness of the active ingredients and the directions are given given accordingly. The choices in eye creams can be overwhelming, especially in light of the fact that there are three main problems that these creams work to treat (dark circles, fine lines, and puffiness).

Answer 3

Use a yellow concealer to cover them. (Physicians Formula, Neutrogena, etc..check your drug store)

Try using an eye cream. Some brands make cream especially for dark circles, I think Avon might make something of the sort. Burts bees has a nice eye cream, althought it is not specifically for dark circles.

Also take vitamins & get enough sleep.

Some women have dark circles if they lose a lot of blood during their menses. That along with a fibroid cyst, can cause a lot of blood loss and very dark circles. I found that after having surgery to relieve the excess bleeding, my circles are just about gone. I had the surgeries two years ago.
