How to get rid of dark eye circles?

I tried for YEARS to lighten up and get rid of the dark circles. NOTHING helped. I eventually just did some make up to lighten the area and left it at that.

You can't, because that skin is not dark. The under eye skin has very little pigmentation, is extremely thin and almost *translucent.* So the dark color you're seeing is actually the underlying facial muscles, not the skin itself. The prominence of under-eye circles varies depending on the amount of fluid in your body. So the best way to lessen their appearance is to stay hydrated & have good nutrition. You can only cover them with make-up, but no creams or vitamins will ever "get rid" of them.

The vitamin C present in lemon juice can also help remove dark circles under the eyes, thanks to its skin-lightening properties. Use a cotton ball to apply fresh lemon juice around your eyes. Leave it on for about 10 minutes and rinse it off. Do this once daily for a few weeks.

Can buy creams to use from a local pharmacy or online websites like eBay to help with this health issue.
