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.

Stress may cause dark under-eye circles! The only way I know to minimize the appearance of dark under-eye circles is a good under-eye concealer followed by a good foundation. Refrigerated used Lipton tea bags placed under the eyes may help, as two refrigerated cucumber slices to reduce puffiness, but my first recommended suggestion is the best. Try to keep your stress levels to a minimum.

Try slicing a potato and putting them on your eyes, I hear this works just like cucumber slices work when your eyes are puffy. Also you might want to ask your doctor to make sure that your getting proper nutrients....sometimes things like that can be sign of not getting all of the vitamins and minerals that you need.

people will say drink more water, eat better etc, and some people swear by these things, but for me they mak no difference. no creams work for me either, if you think about what they actuly are (the shape of your face or translucent skin) theres nothing a cream could do. i hate wearing thick concealer under my eyes too, but my mum gave my a clinique airbrush one and its REALLY good, you dont need much, and it looks natural and covers them well.

There are creams that you can buy that are just for that. You usually put them on at night time. I am pretty sure you can even get it at Walgreen's. Good luck.
