I don't think eye cream can really effective get rid of dark circle.....I think you need to use eye mask
I've used [Baviphat] Dark Circle Eraser Eye Cream and it works pretty well |

Can not get rid of dark circles I am afraid, but you can camouflage it with a lighter conceiler though.

Unluckily dark circle is quite a difficult problem to get rid of....I am a victim of dark circle as well.
Apart from eyeycream and masks, massage will help too, better circulation and reduces dark circle |

Dark circles under eyes can be hereditary, but they can also become worse with stress, poor diet and lack of sleep. There are ways to reduce the color and puffiness of eyes by work with your body inside and out!
I'm currently using (and working with) StriVectin Eye Concentrate. I am probably the worst sleeper in the world so dark eye bags happen a lot for me and I have been seeing some results.
There are a million + products out there, so before you commit to one, try out some samples. If you are interested, go to strivectin.com/vipsweeps for a chance at one |

| In most case it's too difficult too fully cure dark circle. So using a good concellor is important. I think Laura mercier's is with good coverage and moisture. Any other recommended brands?? |

| I don't have concealer product names, but I do know you want to go for a concealer that is just a bit lighter than your natural skin and ONLY use your ring finger to apply it since there is less pressure and less chance at making wrinkles (no one wants that)! |

| Yea, to use your ring finger to apply it lightly. Or you can choose a good and soft concealer brush |

| One more point to share, Laura mercier's eye perfected is really a perfect match with it's eyey concealor, they can make your dark circle nearly invisible!! |

This may not be enough of a solution for those with more intense darkness under their eyes, but what really works for me is the gelatin treatment (vit k), which I found on eds here a couple of years ago.
I just take about 1ml of unflavored gelatin crystals & mix it in about 5mls of boiling water til at least most of it dissolves. If it doesn't dissolve you've used too much, or waited too long before mixing. Then when its ready & cooled to just warm I spread that under my eyes (& the rest all over my face & backs of hands) and relax for a bit til it hardens/cracks and gets a bit uncomfortable. That's probably too long, actually!
I find it makes a significant difference on the appearance/health of my undereye skin.
But be aware that the original recipe which was misposted & ended up all over the internet is WRONG and calls for WAY more gelatin than is necessary. I can't imagine it being manageable at all. Such a shame for all who must have tried it and gave up!
Anyway, good luck finding your happy solution! |

I don't know if you saw this, but I mentioned above how StriVectin has helped de-puff and de-bag my eyes (stress and lack of sleep don't make the prettiest of combinations).
If you are unsure, try before you buy. They have a sweepstakes right now where you can enter to win 1 of 10,000 free samples. Even better is the grand prize winner gets 2 tickets to the More Reinvention Convention in LA.

Is it just me or has anyone else had luck using StriVectin? |

A good sleep every night helps most.
I recently found massage help with my eye bags. But I'm not sure if it works for dark circles. I believe eye creams can only help with temporary fine lines caused by dryness. However I'm still gonna try Natura Bisse diamond line to see if it can work any wonder... |

| I agree that massage can help reduce dark-circle. But the way you massage is important, never massage the eye-area too strongly, but to slightly massage the area with your ring fingers. |

Hi Clean&Clear,
Dark circle and eye bag are really difficult to get rid of....I have been fighting with these 2 problems for many years already...
You may refer to the following post for a highly recommended eye mask:
http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=31999
It's sounds effective but very expensive.
Hope this help  |

Interesting that I have just posted my results about fighting the dark circles on another thread. But you can easily miss it because the thread was not about the dark circles per say. I have tried the cream for spider veins as an experimental treatment for myself, but it worked really well because the dark circles are very often the swollen veins, which are seen as blue-ish mess under the skin or darker colour if your skin is not pale.
Here is what I reported on http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?p=6401445#6401445

Just want to give the update on the progress. I am sure now that this spider vein cream helps with my particular problem of dark circles and upper lids colour.
I have used it on and off long enough by now to notice how it works on me.
1) During those days when I apply the cream around my eyes (in the evening), I certainly have coloured (more red-ish) upper eye lids. So I can say my veins are swollen. I use it for a day or two now during the week
2) then I stop, and I can see that my eye lids's veins hide away completely. I do not have problem with blue-ish circles under the eyes anymore.
I clearly remember that I had that before I started using this cream. I used to have the PROBLEM with my upper eye lids colour all the time, and now I can stay in my friend's house for holidays and not even bother applying makeup in the morning for breakfast. (not because I do not care, but because there is no problem anymore)
I am happy I tried it on my eye lids. And the bottle is so big (for an eye cream) that it will last me for years for the maintenance. Thanks for sharing about it. |

if you are like me, your dark circles could be from allergies. i have found that taking probiotics has helped to reduce my allergic reaction to certain foods, and it has helped to reduce my dark circles too. i take antihistamines at night, which seems to help reduce the puffy under-eye problem.
i still have puffies and dark circles, but they are much better now that i am using the probiotics and antihistamines |

I use to have the raccoon and beat up boxer look before. I used and continue to use Excel Skin Care's Dark Circle Under Eye Serum. Lighten it little by little and firm until You take back yourself. Great attributes being light weight, no greasy, non drying, non irritating.
Go through the amazon store for the lower buy with free shipping. |

I find some helpful tips to banish those under eye circles, here
1. BLACK TEA BAGS
After you wash your face in the morning, you will want to place black tea bags on your eyes. You will need one for each eye. The caffeine in the black tea will shrink the capillaries under the eyes and reduce the darkness. If you do not know how to get rid of dark circles, then this is the first step to try. Let them sit on your eyes for about 10 minutes.
2 ICE PACKS ARE YOUR FRIENDS
After you are finished with the tea bags, place an ice pack on your eyes. Try to find small ones, one for each eye. If not, one large one can be stretched across your eyes. Focus on icing the area under the eye. This will further shrink the capillaries and reduce puffiness. Sometimes dark under eye circles can be a result of puffy eyes or eye bags. The ice packs will reduce any puffiness that way be there form the night. Dark circles and puffiness can sometimes go hand in hand. Many times, people go looking for information on how to get rid of dark circles, when they should really look for how to get rid of bags under eyes. In the case of under eye bags, ice packs are the way to go. Leave them on for 10 minutes, or however long you can take it.
3 VITAMIN K CREAM
After you are finished icing your eyes, massage the eye area with a good quality eye cream containing vitamin K. Vitamin K is the best reducer of dark circles under the eyes. When you massage, focus on the area when the eye meets the nose, and work your way down until the whole area has been massaged. After you are finished, let your eyes rest for 15 minutes before applying make-up. It can be hard to know how to get rid of dark circles under eyes, but following these three easy steps will give your eyes a huge improvement!
i have the same problems, i think best way to banish dark circles is a good sleep, heathy way of life |

LdeL RETINOL eye gel is really good.After using it for just 2 nights i noticed a huge difference.
Encapsulated Vitamin A smoothes the eye area and reduces the appearance of fine lines
Vitamins C & E as antioxidants to fight free radicals
Fragrance free for use on even the most sensitive skin
With continued use, this gentle formulation will help reduce puffiness, dark circles, and restore tone and elasticity |
