I think the preparation H would help if it were from allergies or being tired etc...but...I have the bags too and they make me look tired, I hate them. I have found out that as someone said...they are genetic, and that basically it is fat...why there, I have no idea and there really isn't anything you can do other than try to mask them with make-up or get lipo which I am actually thinking about doing. I've had them for years and although some days they are not as puffy as other days they are not going anywhere! I've tried all kinds of things too and nothing works...unless I have lipo they are not going anywhere.

Dark circles can also be caused from too much or lack of sleep, and also anemia (which seems weird, but, anemia can do funky things to the body).

Dark circles and hollowing? (the opposite of puffiness) below the eye can also be caused by certain meds.

Hmm, ever try cool tea bags on your eyes? I know that always works for me when I'm especially tired and my eyes are showing it. I've also heard about preperation H, like others have mentioned. Although personally I'd be a little nervous about putting chemicals like that so close to my eyeballs.

Looks good to me! I'm kidding. I have the same problem, but I was under the impression that only plastic surgery would do it. I will try the PrepH though!

I'd love to find something that would help my dark circles. I know they won' totally go away, but does anyone use a cream that helps? A concealer won't work to well for me, since I don't like to wear a lot of makeup. Thanks in advance
