I heard undereye circles are cause by the lack of vitamin K, but I dont know that much about them cause I never ever had them.

Actually i have heard that vitamin K plays a role in the formation of dark circles, but there is no evidence to support it! And you are so lucky as to have never had them.. i have been suffering for god knows how long!

This is the easy one , take 2 spoons of cucumber juice and 1/2 spoon of rose water, dip a cotton wool and place it on your eyes for 20 min. wash your eyes with cold water. Even placing potatoe slices on your eyes will help you get rid of dark circles. Try to have a good night sleep and give a break to your eyes, try them :), cheers.

Thankyou for your ideas.. I have tried the potatoe slices before but the circles tend to get darker with them.... i ll try out the other method.

Welcome to myLot, Newbie! Dark circles disappear before very long if you apply lemon juice several times. Just be really careful never to get it in your eyes, of course. I've tried it, and it isn't really fast, but it does work.

I have heard that lemon works on hyperpigmented patches.. never tried this though.. thank you for your opinion.

that is also my problem. i know cucumber could help a lot, but it should be done regularly.
