What have you used that really works? TIA

An eye serum that contains Haloxyl® will actually remove dark circles. (It takes about two months for results). I have been using this for years.

@Desertdi , where do you buy this? Is there a specific product you recommend? I looked at Amazon and Sephora with no luck. LM

I have had hereditary dark circles my whole life and the only one that works at all is a salmon colored one. I am not sure why. I got this from Jane Iredale but I am sure there are other brands. I have used so many concealers through the years. It really did not help just looked like I was trying to hide the dark without any luck and just got cakey and puddled in the lines and emphasized them.

@Desertdi I went to 'Google' and typed in HALOXYL CONCEALER and many possibilites popped up. You might want to check it out.

I found THIS on Amazon. There are also a couple more. Haloxyl is made by Mederma, and imported from France. I have to agree that it is sometimes hard to find. di

Edited to add: Here's another one on Amazon.....claims to have the "maximum strength Haloxyl"

Good morning @spent2much . If circle under the eyes are dark, I usually recommend a corrector which is peach tone. Bobbi Brown has an iconic one and drugstore brand Pixie makes one, too. Using a corrector first eliminates using too much concealer on top which can crease.

@spent2much I've had hereditary dark circles since I was a little girl...have tried so many concealers, and am always on the hunt for better ones.

Currently using NARS, Creme Brulee' (Light 25) (of course you'll get whatever shade is right for you), that was recommended when I was at Sephora, and I like it. Lightweight, good coverage and color match.

She recommended that one when the Sephora brand color she recommended for me was out of stock, but I may try that too at some point.

Years ago I loved Mally's cream concealer, it was my Holy Grail...no longer being made. I recently was thrilled when I bought a Mally makeup palette on her website, that included a cream concealer. It's ok...but not the substantial consistency with as good a coverage as her original. Much sheerer. Covers nicely at first but wears thin. The other was "bullet proof", as Mally likes to say...went on smoothly, didn't crease over time or wear much during the day. But that's a moot point 'cuz it's gone now!

There is another I'm interested in trying, that Hot & Flashy, internet influencer on YouTube is crazy about lately, and it's in one of her most recent videos...if I see the name again I'll update this post. Meanwhile, if you look her up and search concealers that may work, but she has recommended others in the past. This recent one she keeps saying is her new Holy Grail was in a recent "empties for May(I think)" or "Winners/Fails" video she recently did, I think, last week. Again...I want to try it too, so when I find the name I'll post it here.
