Treat dark circles caused by shadows

If shadows are causing your dark circles, you unfortunately have one basic treatment option -- you can fill the area between the bridge of your nose and the inner corners of your eyes (the tear through) with fillers like Juvederm or Restylane, Waldorf says. Beyond that, there isn't much you can do with skin care products to lessen the shadowy effect. However, all dark circles look worse when your skin is dry, so "improving the texture of your skin with proper moisturization is important also," Waldorf says.

I like clinique's eye serum. It feels best after it has been in the refrigerator for a while so it is nice and cool and rolls on so smoothly.

Unfortunately, I have both dark circles and puffiness around my eyes. Thank you for breaking down the causes, and giving multiple options for treatment!

I have the genetic kind as well. I remember as a kid having them, but I have also never had the best sleeping habits, even as a kid. So it's kind of hard either way. to get rid of them.

Great...I have the genetic kind. The purplish ones you have even after a good night's sleep and people still think you got punched in the face.
