They have a mens eye cream you can buy at any food or drug store. I have been using it for 3 weeks now and have seen drastic results. It's cheap $7-10 and well worth it. Put it on before you go to bed and before you leave the house in the AM and that is it.

I get black circles and bags under the eyes from insufficient, fragmented or excessive sleep. So sleep is the major factor for me. More often than not, people don't get enough sleep. There are many factors which can negatively affect sleep, for example: stressful events in life, hypogonadism in males with reduced melatonin secretion, chemotherapy drugs, inhibition of nitric oxide, drugs which interfere or suppress melatonin, etc.

I have made myself get a very clear sparkling face with the elimination of circles by: going swimming, then the sauna and a steam room and cycling this. Swimming in the pool for several minutes, alternating with several sessions in the sauna and steam room (5-minute sessions), then going swimming again and repeating, with the total time lasting 1-3 hours. There is indeed something special about doing those (improving circulation and removing toxins)! The cold water also improves circulation.

Hemorrhoid creams work to get rid of puffiness and works by vasoconstriction (I have heard that it is even used by models for this purpose). With aging there is also the weakening of musculature, accumulation of fat which cause eye bags. Hence there are surgical methods that address those (like Blepharoplasty), when it gets bad enough. Taking nutrients that are conducive to dampening the aging process and supportive of healthy skin function as well as tone and overall great skin, like: Vitamins A, C, E, F; EFAs, zinc, phosphorus, etc. And excercise which decreases overall bodyfat (hence also around the eyes).

Water is also important for great skin: "Changes in the structural proteins and hydration during aging is responsible for altered skin morphologic and mechanical properties manifested as wrinkling, sagging, loss of elasticity, or apparent dryness." (Water and protein structure in photoaged and chronically aged skin. J Invest Dermatol. 1998 Dec;111(6):1129-33. Gniadecka M, Nielsen OF, Wessel S, Heidenheim M, Christensen DH, Wulf HC).

Also, and I haven't tried this, but I believe theoretically it could work, Witch Hazel (which has the herb Hamamelis) act as vasoconstrictor if you are interested in a more herbal approach.

My wife works for a Plastic Surgeon and gets TONS of skin care samples. For the past few years I have been using a brand called Cellex-C. You can get it through most Sephora stores(all of the Cellex C stuff is amazing). At any rate, Cellex C produces an under-eye toning gel. It's 10Ml and kinda a light blue color. If you get up in the morning, wash your face, then use this gel you will not have bags or circles for the rest of the day. It takes about 5-10 min to fully work. Shit is amazing, I use it every day. We get it for free(since she works for the Doc) but I think it runs about 30-35 dollars. One tube should last 2-3 months.

Here is a link so you can see what it looks like.

there are creams for that... you can also make a homemade version with cucumbers and other things... i forget but i am sure you can find it online somewhere.

Same .. if I don't get enough sleep, that's when the bags under the eyes form.

I heard cucumbers do work, too ..
