I have dark circles underneath eyes. I usually sleep enough, and don't eat too much junk. I think I need an eye cream. What brand do you suggest? I'm 14, and it can't be something too expensive.

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.

Preparation H.
Some swear by this, the idea being that the same "shrinks Haemorroidal tissues" function works for the bags under your eyes.
But here is a tip: buy a separate tube for use on your eyes ;-)
I know it is no consolation but a lot of this is heriditary

I'm 13. I have that same problem! I had dark circles for my whole life, even when I am fully energized!

I wear sunglasses all the time, to hide my dark circles (and my identity).

i like Mary Kay's Soothing Eye Gel. It's $14, and has botanicals and chemicals in it for the best of both worlds.

When (if) you drink tea, save the tea bags!!!!! Then, once they have been soaked (after you make the tea) set them on your undereye when they have sat out for a while....It makes your eyes all better....
Goto your local Sephora store and see what they recommend...You can get free samples of designer products.

I have them, too, and I'm about the same age as you. It's probably just from allergies. But Nutrogena and stuff like that's supposed to be good. :]
