Has anyone managed to get rid of/reduce natural dark under eyes?

I have naturally dark under eyes and being pale means they show up even more. They are awful and look like iv been punched. I hate being seen with no makeup on as I look so bad.

has anyone managed to reduce theirs? I’m pretty desperate!

@Ridingthegravytrain yeah I have looked into that in the past actually as sometimes I get eczema on my eye lids but there was no change and I did try for quite a few months. I know Rome wasn’t built in a day though. I do get dry skin under my eyes too which obviously won’t help but nothing gets rid of it. It will come back despite me continuing each day when I find something gentle enough that works. So annoying

@Justonethingi structure may have something to do with with it. I had hollows, which accentuated the shadows. Shadows disappeared with filler, as it’s something to do with how the light is reflected.

@Decidualcast yes the doctor spoke about that. I def have hollows, hereditary! Maybe I was expecting miracles!

Does anyone know if it gets rid of fine lines or if it's just hollows and dark shadows it helps?

You could try Profhilo for fine lines, or Botox.

I have horrendous dark circles, my whole eye area looks grey.. (hereditary I think) the only thing that seems to work for me is when my face is tanned!

I also use the Revolution Conceal & Define concealer, I find it one of the better ones I've used.

Yes, I use fake tan too. All it does is make the contrast less awful.
I haven't found a single concealer that really works. I'm using IT bye bye undereye at the moment in a colour much darker than the rest of my face. All of them settle in my fine lines, but it's better to look more wrinkly than like a vampire.
I take vitamins so I don't think it's a lack of iron or omega 3s in my case, but I'm interested in the other things it could be.
I have tried cutting out caffeine and alcohol before for other reasons and no improvement.
