Have these disgusting dark rings around my eyes. Makes me look very tired. I have used chilled cucumber slices, chilled teabags & boiled eggs. None work.
Does anyone know of a good remedy?

Teabags and egss, certainly dun help at all.
Wat u can do is massage ur dark eyes circles wif almond oil, or use a peel and grated potato over ur eyes,..
The potato techniques worked for me. I gained dis technique while I was touring Sri Lanka, India and Nepal.
P.S: I oso included an ayuvedic, home remedies, link for u!
Best of luck!

There are many causes of dark circles, from age, heredity, allergies, cold or sinus infection, bone structure and glasses which are not so commonly known.

If you would like to apply home remedies to reduce dark circles, here are some of my suggestions:
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.

Do dark circles run in the family? If it's hereditary, you can only use under eye concealer. My daughter and I have tried every skincare product under the sun and found a line called Ice Elements and they have a product called Illumineyes. It so takes away the dark circles. But you have to really give it time. Took about a month to start seeing results. Ice Elements has it's own website. Put the two words together in the addy dot com and you'll find them or google them. HTH.

First, you might want to get a check up to make sure your ok. Otherwise, it couls just be pigmentation, and the best way is to cover it up. Mary Kay has a cream that is white, and it goes under your eyes to help the color look better.

Sleep.
and "Arbonne nutrimin C" (sp) has really lightened my circles, they're not gone but they look about 50% lighter since i've been using it.
Good luck..
