Any under eye bag and dark circle product recommendations?

I've had them for as long as I can remember. It's not the price of most products that scare me off, it's that they won't work after I've plunked down the money. I was recommended Skin Doctors Under Eye Tuck by a chemist worker since she had used it and it had worked, but you know, she might just be trying to sell the product. I've also tried make up but it just looks weird because it's still really baggy after the dark circles have been covered up. I also use the Nivea Under Eye roll on and it does ok but I do need something better. Any recommendations?

    Get proper sleep.

    Hint: 8 hours per day.

    • Makes no difference, it's a genetic thing for me, one of my cousins gets 9-10 hours of sleep pretty much every night and still has some dark circles, I get anywhere between 7-10 hours (depends on dog) and I'll still have them (though more sleep results in less bags, but the circles are always as dark).

      • Have you also considered your sleep quality?
        For example people with sleep apnoea or snore a lot tend to feel more tired due to poor sleep quality.

        Anecdotally I've heard of co-workers feeling so much more refreshed every day, after getting some treatment.

        • I've considered my sleep quality but I don't actually feel very tired after about 8-9 hours of sleep.

  • Jon English miracle eye soot.

    • Thanks, but couldn't find anything of that name

  • Check out this product which was recently released in Australia:

    • Yeah thats a bit out of my price range

      • Works out to $2 per sachet and you can use each one up to 3 times if you use the needle trick…a lot cheaper (and painless) than botox ;)

  • don't people put cucumbers or teabags on your eyes to get rid of bags?

    • I've done it once or twice but it's not a thing I can be bothered doing consistently tbh

  • Food allergies are a very common cause of dark circles.
    Have you had your Iron levels tested? & Vitamin K.

    Castor Oil applied at night will reduce dark circles & bags.

    • Blood level stuff is fine (Vitamin D is a bit low but not really related). I actually used Castor Oil for about a month, cause it was really cheap, and I think it just got wiped by my pillow cause I slept on my side and moved a lot so nothing much changed. Thanks for reminding me though, I'll get back to using it and apply some during the day too.

      • Where do you get Castor Oil from?

        • Chemist Warehouse, or iherb.

    What kind of makeup are you using? If you just use normal concealer, it'll probably look weird. You want to colour correct it first. Laura Mercier secret concealer is really good, go to the counter to get matched. Try cucumbers or something to make it less swelly.

    • It was some concealer specifically made for under eye use. Got rid of it though.

      • What shade/colour did you get? Yellow tone or peachy/salmon tone?

        • It was a peachy/salmon tone. Also I'm a guy so I had no idea what I was doing.
