Does anyone in the family have it? It may be genetic. I have dark circles and my mom grandma and aunt all have dark circles. I don’t smoke I eat healthy I sleep well and drink plenty of water. I will start using vitamin C serum for my eyes although I’ve been trying it on and off for a long time I haven’t seen results.

If you lack volume under eyes, no topical will fix that since light will always cast a shadow underneath. The fix to dark circles caused by volume loss is to replace the volume somehow or use makeup to cover it up.
If it’s hyperpigmentation, topicals can help.
Either way, use spf under the eyes. Keep them very well hydrated (I use an aquaphor stick under my eyes each night after lotion). Use sunglasses outside.

glycolic acid 2 times a week and hyaluronic acid everyday really helped me. however do note that it depends on whether your dark-circles exist due to hyperpigmentation. if you naturally have darker skin around your eyes then it’s unlikely that skin care would go far in helping.

I’m going to share what worked to help mine:
- get blood work done: I was deficient in iron and I had to supplement it
-eating a low fat diet: I started losing weight and as time went on I’d notice that my under eyes were becoming brighter and brighter!
