Different Causes Make Dark Circles Look Similar
- Dark circles and under-eye bags are different issues but bags worsen the appearance of dark circles.
- Pigmentation, blood vessels, orbital shadowing and puffiness each create the look of dark circles.

- Try a cold compress for up to 15 minutes to reduce morning puffiness and constrict blood vessels.
- Avoid applying cold longer than 15 minutes because vessels can rebound and increase inflammation.
