As a woman, have you ever used skin care products for eyes in your work and life, like an under eye mask? Is it really useful?
I find that eye patches and masks can really reduce puffiness. If you want to get a good effect, then use eye masks with hyaluronic acid, cucumber, peptides, collagen, retinol, caffeine.
Apply thinly sliced potatoes to each eye and it will save you money. Then apply a light oil (coconut oil). I read that potatoes contain an enzyme called Catecholase, which contains skin-lightening properties that help reduce under-eye circles.
Sliced cucumber helps too.
My mom has dark circles around her eyes due to red eye. There is also puffiness. She's been using Olay products for dark circles.

All the home remedies and high priced cosmetic remedies in the world will not work according to my Opthamologist. Of course getting enough sleep on a regular basis, is your best course of action. And, this bit of advice, I am sure of due to experience. According to the doctor, the same advice goes for bags under the eyes. It is fluid retention. Cosmetics can't help.
In Ayurveda, bags under the eyes are a sign of kidney trouble. This goes with the doctor's idea of fluid retention. Try a new sleep routine (one night will not do it) and up your water (yes - water) intake.
Cut two cool thin cucumber slices. Lay down and put the cucumber slices on your closed eyes. Relax like that for about 30 minutes. Also, be sure to drink plenty of water and get enough sleep.
Really really dark circles can also be a sign of Liver problems.
I have been using glasses for years and I have now switched to contacts. The only bad thing is the rings under my eyes. Are there any remedies for making them fade away or make up tips to cover up?
avon has a new product out called anew alternative that is suppose to get rid of under eye circles
Dark circles under eyes are usually "Allergy Shiners" if you are an allergy sufferer, chances are , wearing the contacts are causing you more problems, hence, the darkness under the eyes. Perhaps get your eye dr. to prescribe some allergy drops such as patanol or optivar and see how that helps.
umm... i have no help to how you're supposed to make the circles leave but i know why they're there now that you have contacts!! the same thing happened to me, i was scared it was th econtacts at first but its not. ok, when you have glasses on the bottom rim usually covers up the area where circles are most common so you can't see them and when you take your glasses off then its too fuzzy to see the circles!!
How do you get rid of dark circles under your eyes?

Vitamin B-12 might help if it is an iron deficiency and see your doctor as you may need iron or more blood. Pernicious anemia is nothing that should be over sighted.
Try cucumber juice. Grate a little bit of cucumber & squeeze the juice out. Apply with a cotton ball. Its soothing, refreshing & removes dark circles.
