hi, i am wondering how to get rid of dark circles under my eyes. I have very dark circles all day if i am tired or perfectly rested. I have used all different types of creams and none of them work. I was wondering if there is a surgery that may be able to correct this and what the cost is? thanks
Update:as i am looking over some of the websites, i think the circles are hereditary. They are not too bad on my mother but i have them very bad. My father and brother do not have them so i must have gotten them from my mother. I know i am not allergic to anything and i definitely get enough sleep. I have a very good diet so that is not the problem either.
Does anyone know if there is a way to remove the dark circles if they are hereditary?
Update 3:all of these remedies are for dark circles that are not hereditary. Is there any treatment for hereditary dark circles?
Verified answer
They may be what is known as allergic shiners. This is caused by allergies.
There are many causes of dark circles, from age, heredity, allergies, cold or sinus infection, bone structure and glasses which are not so commonly known.

If you would like to apply home remedies to reduce dark circles, here are some of my suggestions:
Buy a box of regular, old fashioned unflavored gelatin (e.g. Knox) from grocery store. Take a small cup or bowl and put in 1 teaspoon of the gelatin mix. Add one tablespoon of boiling water & stir for a minute. Test it on your wrist to make sure it is not too hot. Then, using a cotton ball, pat it under your eyes as you would an eye cream or gel. Go lie down and listen to some music, or take a bath & let it stay on for at least 30 minutes. Then just rinse it off.Gelatin is very high in Vitamin K & Biotin. It will not remove your dark circles on the first application (but you will notice a difference), but if you do it daily for a week, and then 2-3 times a week for maintenance, you should notice a drastic reduction in dark circles.
