Dark-eyes are very annoying to most of people. In general, the skin around the eyes is most thin part of all the skin. When the vein capillary around the eyes is congested or the tissue has edema, it is easy to see the color of blood vessel under the dermis and appeared black blue color. Besides, skin aging or pigmentation may result in darkness of skin around the eyes. Moreover, when it become seriously, there is dark brown color around the eyes. To stay up late, expose to the sun, use cosmetics improperly, all may cause the dark-eyes.
The reason of causing dark-eyes is not only one kind; some people may combine different reasons for the dark-eyes. To improve dark-eyes effectively, we must know the main reason of causing it. In general, there are several types of dark-eyes according to different reasons.
Pigmentation
This type’s dark-eyes appear a light brown color, normally is caused by unusual inflammation. Especial for the people who has sensitive skin or atopic dermatitis patients, their skin around the eyes are very sensitive, so if they use improper cosmetic or skin care products, the skin would be inflamed. Moreover, if they over rub the eyes or scratch the skin, the pigmentation would be increased.
When dealing with this type of patients, we must find the main reason first. Stop using the cosmetic or skin care products causing the sensitive, or go to see the doctor for controlling the dermatitis in order to reduce the inflammation. For the pigmentation which is already existed, it is better to use some products or methods to restrain melanin or speed up the metabolism (such as L-ascorbic acid). The products better have whitening function such as eye skincare products with vitamin C, vitamin E. These products could improve the pigmentation dark-eyes. Using IPL can diminish the dark-eyes quickly.
Puffy eyes~ the eyelids structures
The wrinkles are increasing with aging, and the lines make complexion around the eyes become darker. In addition, the lower eyelid resulted in puffy eyes because of the connective tissue is aging. Besides, the subcutaneous fat is inflated and resulting in puffy eyes with dark color. To deal with this kind of dark-eyes, it must make the skin around the eyes to be firming and tightening. The products with retinoic acid derivatives or Vitamin A+E can smooth the fine lines. It is important to avoid the eyes in case of irritation occurred. Daily basic care, correct cleansing method, using moisturizer and sun protection are the ways to reduce the wrinkles coming with aging. To use plastic surgery to improve the puffy eyes is also considerable.
Veins dilation
This kind of dark-eyes appears black color. Since the skin around the eyes is very thin, it is very easy to cause hematoma when vein capillary become hyperemia or tissue become edema. After light refraction, the skin around eyes appears black color. For the people who has sensitive nose or sleepless, it is easy to cause a stuffy nose or blood backflow become worse especially for the patients with asthma or atopic dermatitis. This is because the vein inside the nose is pressured and the blood circulation of the nose and eyes become worse, thus dark-eyes is formed. The dark-eyes would become worse if people who is smoking and drinking. As the smoking would irritate the eyes, and conjunctiva may congest with blood; drinking too much would cause blood vessel broken and resulting in hemachrome staying outside the blood vessel. All of these may cause pigmentation and the make dark-eyes become very obvious. In order to control this kind of dark-eyes, it is better to avoid stay up late or sleepless, regulate the daily routine or ask for medical assistance. For this kind of dark-eyes, it is difficult to see the improvement only rely on skincare products. With serious dark-eyes, using cold compress to alternate with hot compress twice per cycle for accelerating the blood circulation may temporary comfort the symptom.

In sum, in order to improve the dark-eyes, to find the reason first is very important. Different kind of dark-eyes have different method to solve, sometimes it needs to use different methods together. Moreover, to understand our own problem and body, to find a doctor if necessary, to regulate the daily routine and exercise, to choose the correct skincare and medical treatment, I believe you may gradually solve the dark-eyes problem.

I use a product by Azure Cosmeceuticals. It is Hydropeptide eye treatment and I love it. It has gotten rid of the puffiness under my eyes and the lightening the color as well. With three kids I tend to not get all the sleep I need and it shows up under my eyes the next day. That and just getting older adds to it. I love the results from this product though.

Good article !
I would also add that as people with dark circles get older, they do not produce as much collagen in their undereye area which leads to thinning skin. This thinning skin can exacerbate the look of dark circles.

Bioelements makes a product called ”
EYE AREA”. It is for the dark under eye circles. The product contains coneflower which helps in the circulation to the area to move that pooled blood in the area around. Does wonders for the fine lines as well because it also contains a middle AHA.
