The miracle product exists Smile Get thee a BB cream. Have a look at this thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/style_and_beauty/a1586215-Have-you-tried-different-BB-Creams-Can-it-also-cover-dark-circles-under-the-eyes for ideas. I personally like Dr Jaart and it was half price in Boots last week.

Highlighter and blusher.
And a good concealer.

Sorry to be boring but honestly no amount of magic potion is going to make a difference if you aren't properly hydrated nor eating well. Dark circles under the eyes are usually an indicator of dehydration & sluggish lymphatic system.

Agree the BB creams are a good start. Massaging around the eye socket will also help. Use your ring fingers with a light touch. Gentle pressing & releasing around the socket then gentle circles around the same area.

Knock the coke on the head. Drink water, squash or juice and make sure you have healthy snacks and/or make a sandwich when you first get up so that it is ready for you at lunchtime.

Sort the diet out then! Your diet will make you feel crapy too. Save pizza for a treat and switch to healthier meals. Simple stuff like jacket potatoes and tuna, pasta with chicken etc - easy enough to make. And water not coke. It's terribly bad for you - diet coke too - and increases the risk of diabetes.

No magic cure I'm afraid.
But Ren Glycolic peel made a difference to me.
I second making diet improvements; oily fish, leafy green veg & as much water as you can.
