I have really dark circles under my eyes. Anyone out there know how to get rid of them using stuff around the house? Store products are ok too. Serious answers please!

Buy a box of regular, old fashioned unflavored gelatin (e.g. Knox) from grocery store. Take a small cup or bowl and put in 1 teaspoon of the gelatin mix. Add one tablespoon of boiling water & stir for a minute. Test it on your wrist to make sure it is not too hot. Then, using a cotton ball, pat it under your eyes as you would an eye cream or gel. Go lie down and listen to some music, or take a bath & let it stay on for at least 30 minutes. Then just rinse it off.Gelatin is very high in Vitamin K & Biotin. It will not remove your dark circles on the first application (but you will notice a difference), but if you do it daily for a week, and then 2-3 times a week for maintenance, you should notice a drastic reduction in dark circles.

Nothing has worked so far for me. I'm excited about this new Avon product though. Most eye treatment creams are for eye puffiness. Which is NOT the same as dark under-eye circles. I as actually thinking about cosmetic surgery to fix my problem. I was born this way. For now I just use foundation & powder. If I don't, I'll look like a really tired junkie.

AVON's coming out with an ANEW product that's specifically supports the reduction of dark circles. It's their Intensive Eye Treatment and comes out in February. From the customer surveys I've gotten so far, it really works.

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.

I use Arbonnes Nutrimin RE9 eye cream, it moisturizes the delicate skin around the eyes and reduces the appearance of dark circles and puffiness.
I love that stuff!, and anyone elsewho uses arbonnes RE9 will say the same thing

Nothing its the blood flow you can see under your skin , some peoples skin is thinner than others. Use a good concealer like Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclait and don't waste your money on creams which claim they can get rid of them,believe me ive tried everything , cheap and expensive!!

A high concentration of hydroquinone cream (10%), available by prescription, is the traditional medical treatment. It is available by prescription only.
Lower concentrations of hydroquinone are available in OTC clarifying solutions. Be sure to read the package precautions. If you prefer gentler ingredients that can be used indefinitely look for clarifying hydroquinone derivatives such as hauronoside (mitracarpus scaber leaf extract) and arbutin (arctostaphylos uva ursi leaf extract); beta carotene; glabridine (licorice extract); paper mulberry plant extract; kojic acid; azeleic acid; dithiaoctanediol; and vitamin C derivatives in combined form, e.g. l-ascorbic acid, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate and sodium ascorbyl phosphate.
Hylexin is also designed for dark circles.
If you use any of these products, sun screen is essential.

first thing do u get enough sleep? sleep does helpwith the eyes
second put to spoons in the freezer and let them stay inthere over night in the morning after washing your face go downstairs or whatever and take them out. place them on your eyes backwards so that the outer part is toughing your eyes (eyes need to be closed.) hope this help

I've had them my whole life. my anemia causes them, you might get your blood tested for anemia. There are many reasons you can get them though, lack of sleep, stress, allergies (allergic shiners) Try damp tea bags on your eyes. Yellow concealer will cover them well.
