Hey guys, I have naturally baggy and kind of dark eye lids. What do you guys suggest that I do to make it less prevalent. I have tried creams and also drinking lots of water. They did not seem to work. ---

Yeah, I have this same problem. It might just be a certain vitamin that we need, or maybe we just need more sleep. ☹ This is what I’ve found: [Baggy Eyes: How To Get Rid Of Baggy Eyes](http://www.eye-make-up-tips.com/eye-health-care/baggy-eyes.aspx) [Eye Skin Care Tips - How To Get Rid Of Baggy Eyes and Dark Circles - Healthy and Beautiful Eyes Secrets](http://beauty.indobase.com/skin-care/eye-skin-care.html) [How to Get Rid of Black Circles Under Your Eyes: 12 steps (with video) - wikiHow](http://www.wikihow.com/Get-Rid-of-Black-Circles-Under-Your-Eyes) Hope it helps. Im hoping to get rid of mine too. Much love, Katie A. ---

I had a problem with dark _kinda_ bags under the eyes. FWIW: sleep man. It should help some if you get on a regular, consistent, sleep schedule. At least it did for me… Anyways, best of luck! Regards, P.R. ---

Try a DMAE cream or gel. It provides only a temporary solution, but it can help to tighten up slightly saggy or wrinkly skin. ---

Is this deep sleep that goes uninterrupted? In all honesty it can be hard to give advice without properly studying the issue, if your comfortable to, would you mind posting a picture of the area around your eye? Say a top quadrant of your face? > [@ariadne](#): > > Try a DMAE cream or gel. It provides only a temporary solution, but it can help to tighten up slightly saggy or wrinkly skin. A good solution! Darkness could be hidden with a concealer or foundation make-up (not sure what to call it) if your secure to do so. ---

I’ve actually had good luck getting rid of the dark circles with this stuff: [Clinique | Skin Care | Eye Treatment | All About Eyes™ Rich](http://www.clinique.com/templates/products/sp_nonshaded.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY4899&PRODUCT_ID=PROD11195) ---

Have you had this pretty much since childhood or is it something that has come with the stress and sleep deprivation of adult life? Unfortunately dark circles and baggy eyes are often genetic and you can’t do much about it… A “great” example is Oprah…ever seen photos of her as a child? She had those bags back then too…they aren’t going anywhere… There are s\*\*t-loads of creams out there that claim to work, but very few do much at all, especially for dark circles. The only ones that do have some effect are the ones with Vit K or retinol in them as they at least vaguely work on one of the causes of dark circles (superficial capillaries that show through the thin skin under your eyes)… The most effective thing you can do is get yourself a good quality concealer… I absolutely _swear_ by Bobbi Brown’s Creamy Concealer Kit, it’s not cheap, but one pot will last for months, and it works! Look at my avatar…can you see any dark circles? I kid you not when I say this… I don’t have dark circles…I have black ones! Mine are genetic made worse by my job 🙄 BB’s concealer is one of the few things in life I cannot live without ---

[quote=“Xiphoid”] Have you had this pretty much since childhood or is it something that has come with the stress and sleep deprivation of adult life? I have had dark circles since childhood. I think its more of a genetic situation for me than stress and sleep deprivation. Obviously sleep depervation makes the situation a lot worse. I did notice that when I take Super B complex and drink a lot of water my bags tend to be a little smaller and lighter. I might try that concealer. I just feel kind of weird that a guy would need concealer. Is that the item that oprah uses? ---

I think it is…It’s either Bobbi Brown or one called Iman. Both brands are well known (amongst women at least 🙄) both for the excellent quality, and for the fact that they have such a great range of shades, especially darker shades like you would need for your skintone 🙂 Oh, and BB has “How to” video’s on the website too which might be a good idea for you to have a peek at being a bloke and all…I’m assuming you don’t know a whole lot about make up? 😉 ---
