I have found that massaging them with Vitamin E oil helps a bit. I've been doing that for a couple of months now and I've noticed that it has made a difference.

Unfortunately for many ladies it's hereditary and there's not much you can do to get rid of it totally, but some remedies that I've heard of include:

  • cucumber slices on eyes
  • potato slices on eyes
  • cold tea bags (boil them in water first and drain the water out and store in fridge for few hours before using)
  • vitamin E oil

There's a lot of products as well, but I think natural remedies are always more effective. I have heard the potato slices one does work, there's a few youtube videos as well.
I've tried the teabags trick and the vitamin E oil. I did notice an improvement but again it's something you have to stick to.

I actually have more to add to the list. I found this great article and it has many that I haven't even heard of but will definately try them out.

I've copied and pasted them below:

  • add a few drops of vitamin E oil to ice water, and mix the two well. dip cotton balls/pads in this mixture and place on the eyes for 20 minutes. this well help in reducing the swelling around the eyes.
  • place 2 cotton pads/balls soaked in cold milk under your eyes for a few minutes. the lactic acid in the milk helps reduce puffiness and darkness.
  • place two cotton pads/balls with plain organic yogurt on them (no added sugars or flavors) for 10 minutes. it will help as the milk does.
  • beat a few egg whites until stiff and gently apply it around your eyes. leave it on for 20 minutes and then rinse your face in cold water. it’ll make the area around and under the eye feel tighter and look less puffy.
  • take 2 slices of fresh refrigerated cucumber and place it on your eyes for 25 minutes. the anti-inflammatory properties of the cool cucumber will naturally help reduce puffiness.
  • place two thin lemon slices directly onto your bags or circles (do NOT get the juice in your eyes!!!!). don’t squeeze your eyes tightly but be careful not to open. leave on for 20 minutes, then carefully rinse off with cold water. this will help lighten the dark circles.
  • slice a couple small slices from a potato. put each slice under your eyes and leave them under your eyes for 20 minutes. this will help tighten up the puffiness.
  • wet two green or chamomile tea bags in cold water and refrigerate them for a while. place them over your eyes for 25-30 minutes. rinse with cool water. the tannin in tea will help reduce puffiness and darkness.
  • freeze a couple of spoons over night, or place them in a glass of ice water. rest them on your eyes until they are not cold any longer. this will help reduce puffiness.
  • soak two cucumbers in lemon juice for 3-5 minutes in the fridge. careful of the lemon juice, place cucumbers on your eyes for about 10-15 minutes. this will help with dark circles and puffiness.
