What is it?

Dark under-eye circles—medically referred to as periorbital hyperpigmentation—occur when the skin beneath the eyes appears noticeably darker than the facial skin. 

This issue may occur due to various factors, including aging, sun damage, insufficient sleep, anxiety, hereditary factors or particular health complications such as allergies or renal problems. The not-so-fun part about these dark circles is that they can make you look tired or older than you are. 

Darker under-eye circles are not a medical concern, but we understand that you may want to lighten their appearance for cosmetic reasons. We’re here to help!
