Dark circles!! Any advice?

Hi, I've been having a hard time dealing with my dark circles and was wondering if anyone here could recommend a good eye cream / serum / anything really to treat this?

I'm being tempted by the Blue Lagoon eye serum which is apparently meant to help with this, but I've also read in other places that skincare can't really help with dark circles at all.

If anyone could share any advice or experiences with this, and any recommendations, I would really appreciate it!

Thank you

What causes the dark circles? I know it seems a silly question but mine are made worse due to blue veins close to surface so good concealer is my best bet, no eye cream has made a difference.

has it been worse since you hit a certain age?

Never found a cure but found a good concealer instead!

this stuff is amazing, I am a VERY sleep deprived mum and it deffo hides the dark circles. Also one tube has lasted me about 3 years so far!

I think a lot of dark circles are supposed to be hereditary.

Mine look much better when my face is tanned (tanning drops in my moisturiser)

I have naturally dark circles.
Sick of eye creams always being targeted to bags and wrinkles.
I find Kiehl's avocado eye cream helps

I have tried every eye cream on the planet for 20 years and they don't really work in my view. The only one I have found that kind of works for me is the extortionately priced La Prairie (the white and silver one) but even that does not remove them completely and you have to keep using it non-stop two or three times a day. The only thing that gets rid of my dark circles is drinking 3 litres of water a day - whenever I am on a health kick and drink 3 litres of water a day, my dark circles disappear.

Good skincare routine may help. Here is my routine that I follow:
Morning:
Using water to wash your face,
Sebamed clear face gel,
la roche posay spf
Evening:
la roche posay moisturizer,
Tretinoin (0.1) from skinorac
Sebamed clear facial gel
