I have had dark circles on my eyes my entire life even when I was a child. They cover the whole of my eye and give me a purplish, sick, tired and dreary look. I'm now 24 and nothing seems to help. I tried creams, concealers and injectable fillers, but nothing seems to help. I suspect the issue with these solutions working for some people and not me is due to my circles being more genetic that environmental? What can you suggest for me?
