I have the same thing. In my case it is genetic (my mom). I just use a concealor. I used to try to cover them up with a heavy concealor, but it looked weird and you could tell I was wearing makeup that caked up. Now I use Yves St. Laurent Radiant touch (it's a little on the pricey side). It's a lighter concealor, but the light reflects off of it, so it hides them better.
As for hemmeroid cream - that's to diminish swelling, or puffy eyes - not dark circles.
Another hint - if you smoke, stop! If not for health, then for vanity's sake. Smoking makes natural dark circles MUCH MUCH worse.
There are creams on the market that claim to diminish dark circles, but I have never seen a difference in using them.
Also, another trick I was taught by a makeup artist was to wear a cream or gel tint (like a blush) just at the apples of your cheeks - enough to make you look a little flushed, like you just walked in from the cold. This directs attention away from the circles.

Dark circles can be caused by a lot of things. Since you have had these since you were a teenager, they are probably caused from allergies. Doctors call them allergy shiners. Do you have the sniffles a lot? Use a cover stick to cover these up under your make-up. You might see your doctor and find out what he/she says about the dark circles. I hope this helps.

I'm about 14 and I have dark skin with the same problem.
A lot of people get them from lack of sleep, I find that they can be easily covered with a concealer stick or if you can find the double sided sticks with green and tan the tan side is made especially for covering dark circle under eyes.

get more sleep; reduce your stress levels through exercise, saying no to things
most people that have circles under their eyes from lack of sleep and stress. take more time to take care of yourself
get at least 8 hours of sleep EVERY night
if you start doing these things and it doesn't help, it could be health related and you should talk to your doctor

hello!
it is eyebags and it is caused by stress or dont have much sleep. put cucumber into your eyes because it refreshes your eyes, or used an eye concealer to hide those black marks or try to ask dermatologists on how to eliminate it. Godbless! =)

Go to Origins counter in a department store and they have a great treatment for this.

you probably drink too much and didn't get any chance to sleep really good one.
Gotta think about your own life.
