Dark circles under the eyes are one of the most common complaints, and one of the most frustrating, because they can persist however well rested you are. Understanding the cause is the key to choosing something that actually helps.
Why they appear
There are several causes, often combined: thin skin that shows the vessels beneath, hollowing that casts a shadow, pigmentation, and simple genetics. Tiredness and dehydration can make all of these look worse. Because the reasons differ, so does the right approach.
What can help
Where the skin quality is the issue, treatments that improve and strengthen the under-eye skin can soften the look. Where hollowing casts a shadow, gently restoring support can help. The important step is assessing which cause applies to you rather than guessing.
