There are a couple different types of dark circles - genetic, sleep deprivation, dark circles caused by allergies, diet/vitamin deficiency. There's no miracle product for dark circles, I've found, as someone with genetic dark circles. Have you always had dark circles? Something that commonly causes dark circles is anemia. You wanna get your blood tested to make sure youre all good with your vitamin levels because that is HUGE factor in dark circles - its your body's way of telling you that it's deficient in something, if not just good ole sleep, if youre lucky!
If your issue seems like something more permanent like genetic dark circles, welcome to the club. The only thing I can recomme is a good heavy duty concealer/corrector and obviously a good diet and lifestyle will always make you look your best, even with permanent circumstances such as genetic dark circles.
I had a hard time with dark circles for a while but i was also putting alot of junk into my body. I started taking a daily multi-vitamin, catching up on sleep, drinking plenty of water, and within a few weeks they started to gradually fade and didn't look so puffy. You could also try a really great concealer. If you could, i'd recommend Coastal Scents concealer palettes because they come with 8-12 different shades so you can perfectly create your own coverage based on your skintone and what not. It's probably the best thing I've ever purchased.

Great advice Sophia! Making sure you stay hydrated, minimize sodium intake, enough sleep, elevate your head when you sleep 2 pillows instead of 1 can help too =)
I'm going to second Tia's recommendation of the Murad Essential C eye cream. I found this particular product and have been using it every morning since January. It's made a tremendous improvement in the darkness of said circles. I still obviously need undereye concealer (so, so pale.....), but this particular eye cream makes enough of a difference that I don't always reach for concealer during my days off/errand running days.
