Dark circles under eyes.

Hi! I'm 35 years old and live in Richmond Hill. I'm a software engineer and because of my work pressure and sitting continuously in front of computers for nearly 10 hours have caused dark circles under my eyes. Everyone is asking me about my dark circles and it piss me off. I have heard a peaceful 8 hours sleep will help to get rid of those dark circles but unfortunately, I'm not getting a peaceful sleep for 8 hours. I think it will be due to my work pressure. One of my colleagues asked me to undergo dark circle treatment from The Centre for Dermatology in my locality ( http://www.thecentrefordermatology.com/procedures/facial/fillers/dark-under-eye-circle-correction/ ). I have heard they use hyaluronic acid fillers to correct it. Is there any side effects? Has anyone used any kind of treatment to get rid of dark circles? I would also like to know any good cosmetic products which will help me to get rid of this dark circles. Please do share any tips that helped you. Thanks!!

I used cucumber for my mom and myself, even though I'm young I have dark circles myself and cucumber helps so much! I have used Sisly products and I recommend to use the Herballife face care products it helps soooo much!

Wayne Goss on YouTube has discussed this issue and shared his experience with using injectables/Hyaluronic Acid to treat his eyes for similar concerns..but he was treating the circles he felt "bags" were creating.

Sometimes undereye darkness is hereditary. Sometimes there is hyperpigmentation in certain areas that exaggerates the undereyes. What type of skin do you have and what products are you using in skincare/anti-aging to treat your eye area (non-cosmetic)? What cosmetic products are you using to conceal or correct, including foundation and powder? What color is your darkness...purple, blue..a shadow with a grey cast etc? What color are eye concealers, correctors or brighteners you are currently using? Are they lighter than your skin? More yellow in tone? Peach? Pale?

Have you had a blood panel done to see if you are dealing with any deficiencies? Are you you often dehydrated? I also spend a lot of time in front of a computer screen and understand the strain it can put on eyes...but there may be options to consider besides injectables. Even the color choices for our liners and shadows, as well as placement can make a difference in waking eyes up.
Of course, if you take that route, it can address certain eye issues, but not necessarily all of what is concerning you. There may be a few things you want to try before making a decision to take it to the next level.

Lastly, how far are your circles going down and around your eyes?
Do you have discoloration on the tops of your cheeks? Your lids?

I think a dark circle treatment would definitely help in your case. But please don't strain your eyes so much.

Hey, Rozberry! Only my elder brother and I have this issue. Both of us are sitting in front of computers for hours. He is 45 years old and doesn't bother about this. There is discoloration on the top portion of right cheek.
Thank you Bella, I think I should use cucumber for a while and if there is no change I will go for hyaluronic acid fillers.

Hey Erin, It's all fine if you get those dark circles during your working pressure, who doesn't have dark circles!! One cosmetic product which I have heard and read about is Eyevage cream, developed by dermatologist. It fights multiple signs such as wrinkles under eye, dark circles and eye bags. It is a product from Solvaderm brand which has innovative skin care treatments. You can give it a try.
