As a dermatologist, I have gotten so many requests to do a video on how to treat or get rid of dark circles under your eyes. So today, that's what we're going to do! In this video, I share what causes dark circles (and under eye bags) and different treatments and skincare products you can use to help get rid of them.

Vitamin K has beef a damn miracle for my hereditary dark circles. Nothing else has ever made a dent, but topical vitamin K has reduced them by at least 70% (which is about as good as I think can be expected). Naturopathica made a fantastic K eye cream but recently reformulated, so I’ve been using a random K cream I found at a health food store. It’s called Reviva. I think what ends up working for dark circles depends on why you have them, it’s different for everyone. Mine are a circulation issue, as opposed to allergies or lack of sleep, and K helps with that.

I am one of the types of people that have had dark under eyes my whole life, like literally since I was 3-4 years old. The best things I have done to lessen my dark circles was treat my allergies (I use nasal spray), using spf 50 pa++++ under my eyes daily with reapplication, and just generally keeping under my eyes moisturized and hydrated with a better skincare routine. It's honestly crazy how much better my dark circles look now at 27 then they ever did through my childhood and teens. I've also abandoned the idea that my under eyes will ever look "perfect" without makeup, like you said it's an unachievable concept, and it allows me to by happy with where they are now!

There was a time when I ate 10 bananas every day and during that time my dark circles completely disappeared. I can't do that anymore but I try to eat as many raw veggies and fruits. They really make a difference but I don't think I ll ever be able to make them disappear again.

For me, I had the trifecta of genetic dark circles, thinning skin due to age, and age-related volume loss. My under eyes have had major improvement from once a year tear trough filler and two rounds of radio frequency and laser vein ablation. Part of my darkness was because I had very visible blue/purple veins that could be seen through my thinning, fair skin. The RF for the veins was painful, but effective. My doctor recommended a third round, but due to the dramatic improvement I saw from two rounds and the painful was of the process, I stopped at two. I can now wear much less concealer, though you are right to say not to expect to be able to go makeup free.

As always, your videos are so informative. I was pleased to hear you recommend gua sha for lymphatic drainage. I have allergies. I have sinus issues. I have under eye bags. I was only vaguely aware of the possible benefits of lymphatic drainage but never pursued it. I assumed that using an eye cream with caffeine was the answer. Then I discovered face yoga and gua sha massage. I still have bags but they are substantially reduced. And the stress relief of both techniques has been an added benefit.

I swear by daily green tea and/or matcha has been THE BEST brightening tip I’ve ever done for my skin. It not only basically totally gets rid of my dark circles, but brightens my overall skin. I drink at least 20 oz daily of (preferably iced) green tea or matcha latte to see results. I’ve done many times of forgetting or not getting around to it, and i notice my skin will look darker within a few days or so. If i get back on green tea/matcha, within a week my dark circles disappear. This has worked SEVERAL times for me over the years!

Many people who genetically have deep valley of tears and dark circles do not notice any improvement due to more sleep. They might actually at times look even worse after more sleep, so this is not a universal solution. And no, the fact that someone has a darker under eye area does not always mean sleep deprivation. If someone has them all the time it's just their genetics.

Hi there! Many years ago, my dad had some sort of surgical procedure that he described as removing the broken down red blood cells/their leaking components from under the skin of his undereyes. His staining was so bad, he looked like he had two black eyes. The procedure made a tremendous difference and his undereyes still look good today. I haven't seen anything similar to this type of procedure while researching hemosiderin staining (which I also have) and was hoping this video would mention what that procedure is. It definitely wasn't laser treatment and was resolved in one surgical procedure.

They're just hiding inside loopholes. I also immediately went and checked my favorite sunscreen (R&R serum) and thankfully it doesn't have those ingredients.

Hi, Dr Ellis! Can you please clarify if skin tends to heal faster after subsequent microneedling sessions? My skin was horrendous after my first session (extreme redness, sandpaper texture, peeling) and it took 5 days to heal completely, but I just had my fourth treatment, and I noticed that my skin has bounced back a lot faster after each one, despite my aesthetician using deeper needle depths (2mm now) and making more passes across my face. My skin just looks a little tender after each treatment nowadays, and it looks back to normal after 3 days. I suspect that the skincare products I'm currently using have also contributed to my skin recovering faster than before, but I'm just curious if skin can get "accustomed" to microneedling?

My boxcar scars have improved the most. Most of them have smoothened so much that they don't have a defined edge anymore. Basically, they don't even look like boxcars anymore!

I don't have dark circles I just have eye bags, heavy eye bags. I blame using my phone.

I’m of Scandinavia descent, so there really isn’t anything you can do for me 😂.

Hello Dr. Sam, your content is super amazing and your professional work must be inspiring alot of young aspirants. However, you seem to be inconsistent in the content posting. And also I believe there is a lot of scope of improvement in video editing and designing side. I know you're swamped with work and must have busy days. So for these reasons, I want to be part of this journey and would like to help you in all aspects of social media growth from editing to creativity. My experience will surely save days-hours of your time and efforts. I am waiting for your positive response. Have a great day.

The only thing that helped my dark circles was going vegan

This was an excellent breakdown. However, you didn’t speak about pigment busting/reducing skincare products & their efficacy on the various derived dark circles. Also am curious about growth factors on skin care… I get scared when I see that listed and steer clear🫣

Ah yes! Meant to include that! So hydroquinone, alpha arbutin, hydroxy acids, retinoids, etc can help with true pigment but seem to be less effective under the eyes than on other parts of the face. Still worth a go though but just being mindful of the potential irritation on this delicate area!
