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.

Here is a suggestion:
1. Get ice cubes from freezer
2. Wrap them on a clean towel
3. Place them under your eyes for 3 to 5 minutes
It helps remove the puffiness and lightens the dark circles. I have tried it and it worked for me. I have usually done it every night before going to sleep.
And yeah, try getting more sleep. That I believe is the best remedy.

I have the same problem, hereditary unfortunately. I have tried everything, now trying something called facial fade. It seems to help, I found it at Sally's beauty supply. But like all things it takes a little time to show a difference. In the meantime I just use a lightener under my makeup sometimes alone.

If you are a girl, there is a powder from "Bare Escentuals" called "well rested" and it is a good color soft cover for dark circles. It's available at Ulta stores and online I'm sure. Also, Physician's Formula has a good yellow-looking cream that is good for those purplish-black circles. Hope that helps.

A quick, last minute and very temporary solution for me is ...get this ...haemorrhoid cream! It's cheap and available at all chemists (Boots, Super drug and so forth). I don't use one specific brand. They all seems to work for me and I hope it will work for you too. Good luck.
