Yes, under eye circles/bags are hereditary.
I feel for you, I was "blessed" with them as well... but you can relieve them temporarily. Try setting cool tea bags over your eyes in the morning or at night ... caffienated tea bags are best, so buy a package of Earl Grey tea bags and keep them in the fridge so they stay cool and moist.
Also, be sure to always get enough sleep ... and if you want to try using a firming cream, you can apply that at night before bed.

Sadly, undereye bags are heredity. I have them as well as my mother. The only permanent solution is an eyelift. I had one last year and it's made a big difference. It wasn't that expensive or that painful. It took me about a year to save up the money and it was well worth it. There is no cream or anything that will get rid of them except for the surgery. Good luck. 2D

To get rid of bags or dark circles under the eyes, you can place cucumber or potato slices on the eyes. OR, you can take used tea bags(make sure they are cool!) and squeeze the tea out. Place the tea bags over your eyes for 30 minutes. Do this everyday. You'll see results in about a week. POTATO WORKS BEST
Also mix a drop of eye cream with a yellow based concealor and apply below your eyes to hide dark circles creates light reflection and perks up appearance of tired eyes.

There is very little we can do about this natural tendency of our family hereditary to have dark bags or shadows under our eyes (we can yell at our parents perhaps, stressing and making them worse, but get the point your unsatisfied with the genes they gave us!) and in many cases simple home remedies or products won’t go to far in helping us to remove or get rid of our dark bags.

About iron and its dark circle role
A deficiency in iron is one of the more common causes of unexplainable dark circles for many people, and the awesome news about this is the fix is quite simple in that if we intake and support better iron uptake into our blood system, we should see a diminishing or getting rid of dark circles quite quickly and painlessly.
Low iron levels is the most common form of anemia, and results in poor oxygenation body tissues due to lessened blood oxygenating efficiency. Unfortunately for us, one of the areas this shows most of all is under the eyes where vessels tend to clot and pool, thus causing the darkening and eye circle effect we are on this site to try and fight.
Sinus & Nasal problems associated with dark bags

Apr
Posted under: Causes & Treatment
Nasal inflammation and sinus congestion can cause a more serious effect known as venous congestion, which is interfering with the return path of blood to the heart after it has been pumped out. This low pressure system due to congestion is a serious effect which slows down and impairs the bloods flow through our body, trapping it as it attempts to flow through the tiny vessels found in our facial area. The blood may pool in this area and shows through the skin where the blood vessels build up, usually near our eyes causing a purplish like circle!!
If you area aware of, or are suspecting of having sinus or nasal congestion relating, proper treatment of these problems in many people will help in the appearance of dark circles around our eyes (with many seeing complete reversal)
If you suffer from regular and not so easily explained headaches as well as regular dark circle appearance, this may be another precursor and warning sign that you have sinus-related problems, and you should seek expert medical advice as soon as possible. Proper identification and treatment of sinus issues will go along way in making you feel better and healthier, and for most will aid greatly in the diminishing the dark under eye shadow appearance.
HERE IS A STORY CONTAINING A CURE
Any teenage girl would be upset to find out that her raccoon eyes were hereditary, and my baby sister was no exception. As if by magic, or some strange evil curse, she woke up one morning with our family's famous dark eye circles. Its particularly noticeable in the women, and my mother and grandmother have been masking it for years. Yes maybe it is a function of poor diet, and yes maybe it is lack of exercise. Who knows? But neither my Dad or my Mother was too interested in spending HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS buying clinque-this and oil-of-that to appease my sister's vanity. They weren't going to raise another cosmetic product junkey and so no matter how hard she cried, they wouldn't cave.
Of course, my Grandpa couldn't stand to see his only granddaughter upset about anything. . .
The old man went off to his laboratory where he concocted a miracle paste. He poured one tablespoon of tomato juice into a shot glass, and added a half tablespoon of lemon juice and a teaspoon of turmeric powder. What is turmeric powder you ask? It's an Indian spice. India produces 100% of the world's supply and consumes 80%. Anyway Grandpa thickened the paste by adding bleached white flour until the sauce achieved a sticky consistency.
Grandpa made my sister lie down on the sofa and close her eyes she had to keep her eyes shut no matter what. Then Grandpa insisted that she keep perfectly still while he painted her face and eyes with his potent mixture.
My sister was made to lie perfectly still and only take deep breathes for ten or fifteen minutes... until she could stand it no longer. When she washed off the smelly red paste we simply couldn't believe the difference. I wish I had taken pictures, it was
remarkable. The dark circles were gone.
HOPE THIS HELPS YOU OUT AND GOOD LUCK
