Check out the best options for creams to remove dark circles

There are several ways to reduce or disguise dark circles, as with aesthetic treatments, creams or makeup, which have a better result when healthy habits are adopted, such as eating a balanced diet, sleeping well and using sunscreen daily.

Dark circles are characterized by a difference in skin tone in the region just below the eyes, which can give a tired and aged appearance. Dark circles can have a bluish tint, caused by the dilation of blood vessels, which is quite visible because the skin in this region is very thin, or brown, due to an excess of melanin production in the region, which usually worsens with age.
