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.

Answer 2

Baby oil on a q-tip, works like magic. Actually any oil based product will take makeup off, including conditioner and lotion.

If it is genetic then there a two ways of getting rid of them. If melatonin is making your under eyes dark, put lightening creme on it (consult w/ a dermatologist).

If it is because you lack fat under your eyes meaning they are a bit hollowish, then you can get what plastic surgeons call "Lower Orbital Fat Pearl Transfer."

Answer 3

Try cold creams or something that is similiar for your eyes. Try not using so much eye liner. maybe putting some lighter concealer under your eyes first, then the eye liner, so its not going directly on the skin.

Answer 4

Use oil free makeup remover pads -- just swipe them over the marks, etc. and it literally erases any makeup that has ended up where it shouldn't have! My favorite kind is made by a makeup brand called Almay. They don't irritate or make you break out.
