I have spent a fortune on all sorts of creams but none of them work. It does not matter how much sleep I get they are always there. Some people in the past have asked me if I had been involved in a fight as they thought I had black eyes. Any advice would be most welcome.

it is my understanding that there is no way to get rid of them. they are genetic.  creams and sleep will do nothing really. they say however using moisturizer  to keep your skin hydrated on a regular basis can slightly lessen the apperance.but they will still be present. the only thing i can tell you is makeup, weather you are male or female a little concealer or base will help. its funny i just read an article about that yesterday.

Try some eye drops you can buy at the store. If you are using contacts they might be dirty.

i used a cream that contains hydroquinone. i used twice daily regularly on my skin before i.e. before i go to take afternoon nap and before sleeping at night .i started noticing the whitening effect from the fourth week. make sure that u use sunblock ( not less than 15 ) when u are exposed to sun and the concentration of the hydroquinone not more than 2% ( for the face ) not more 4%( for the body , not for the face )

there is no real way to get rid of those. unless you have lots of money to spend on laser surgery. dont waste your time on creams THEY DO NOT WORK AT ALL. you do not need to sun tan if you are black already. the best thing to do is apply stay-on makeup to those areas.

Do you drink a lot of milk or other dairy products?  Sometimes dairy products cause dark circles.  Try not taking and dairy products for a few day and see if they clear up.

you need creams with yeast and camomile in them.  Borghese has an eye cream (now at Costco for a fraction of the cost of dept. stores) and Healing Garden has an excellent eye cream, too.  I saw an excellent story on this on our local news station and it is online as well.

I assume you are talking about under your eyes.  Yes, they will eventually go away once you get yourself built up.  But anemia makes you tired, and tired shows in the eyes.  Get as much rest as you can, and put slices of cucumber over your eyes when you lay down for a nap, to cool and refresh your eyes.  Make them nice thin slices to they shape themselves to your eyelids instead of feeling like a weight on your eye.

Try some hyrdocortizone cream. See if that helps.

Here are somethings that can cause this problem.\n\n1. Lack of sleep.\n2. Inherited condition having a family with the kind of skin that makes dark circles more likely.\n3. Fluid retention which causes puffiness that may cast shadows.\n4. Aging which thins and relaxes the skin around the eyes.\n\nDark eye circles - treatments and remedies \n\n1. Powdered fenugreek and milk are said to tackle dark circles. Apply a paste of fenugreek mixed in milk on dark circles in the night. Wash off in the morning and watch dark circles vanish for good.\n\n2. Freeze grated cucumber. Massage the grated cucumber ice cubes on the eyes. \n\n3. Soak cotton wool in cucumber juice or potato juice & apply around the eyes.\n\n4. For eye puffiness, any tea bag (herbal is better, especially eyebright), slightly cooled, placed on the eyes while you rest.\n\n5. To lighten dark circles under your eyes, wrap a grated raw potato in cheesecloth and apply to eyelids for 15-20 minutes. Rinse with warm water.\n\n6. The best overall eye tonic is eyebright (an herb). Make a tea of it and either use the teabags or soak cotton balls or soft gauze in the tea and apply to eyes as a compress while lying down.

I had the same problem. I went back to my eye doctor and he had me change the cleaning solution I was using. He said I was probably allergic to the solution. I haven't had any problems since.

There's a liquid available in beauty shops/dept stores for removing those black circles. It not only removes the black circles below the eyes but also makes the skin harder. I have seen my girl friend getting great results using that.  I dont remember the name of the liquid but its available in most of the dept stores in US.

It is blood vessels near the surface of the skin where blood pools on some individuals giving them the tired look. In extreme cases black eyes. Using a cool cloth will help some what. Caffeine and smoking aggravate it. It is found most often in brunettes.\nIt can also have medical reasons so see your doctor for advice hope thst helps

Have you thought about trying a skin lightener?\n\nHere's a link to several products that might help:  http://shopping.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=AnXhbGvKO0K2wscje3En618bFt0A;_ylu=X3oDMTBtNTA5a3RqBF9zAzE0NDg5MTE1BHNlYwNzZWFyY2g-?cop=mss&test=DFLT&p=skin+lightener&did=

i had same problem-they can be drastically improved by consistently getting a good night's sleep, you will notice a difference after a couple of days. YSL concealer is amazing..i use a bit of benefit's eye base first just so that it stays in place all day- and it really does!! you cant tell i have any make up on at all..this is after years and years of finding the perfect concealer so im giving you expert advice here! (worthy of 10 points!) good luck  x x x

Brew green tea bags, ice them and put them on your eyes. They work for me. Or try a cold cream that is designed for eyes. Make sure you keep your eye cream cold (like in the refrigerator). These two things work for me, but my guess is nothing much is going to work because when you cry you really raise those blood vessels by expanding them from over-working your tear ducts. Most remedies are designed to help natural eye puffyness..not excessive work outs of the eye. Hope you don't need this--because you stop crying :)

In addition to Dave's answer you might want to consider taking some melatonin (sp). I too have fair skin and burn real easily, and like you probably have.\nI started taking Melatonin because I was told abut this and it worked, for a side effect it helped me get to sleep.\nTry it I think you'll like it.

Yep, it sounds like you have hereditary eye circles. My cousins are just like that. Since it is naturally causing you can try under eye circle cream. There is one (I think it's rather expensice) but I hear it might work. I think it's called Hylexin (about $95.00) There is "Eyecircle"for 60 dollars and so on.\nBecause these are soooo expensive, I use a cheapo one for about $20. I cant remeber the name but I will include a link to a beauty website that can help:
