Dark circles under eye

No this will not help. Your best bet is an evaluation by an eyelid specialist who can determine why you are having this issue. There can be medical reason for bags and dark circles or they can be a normal change. You can search asoprs.org for a qualified doctor in your area Best Dr. Massry

Hate to disappoint you here but this won't help the dark circle.

Re : "Does Taking Hydrolysed Collagen Tablets Totally Get Rid of Dark Circles/ Bags Under Eyes?" I would be truly shocked if you did see an improvement. Why? If what you are taking is indeed collagen, you are essentially ingesting a protein which as it passes thorough the acid of the stomach is broken down, as it parses through the small bowel it is broken further down by protein enzymes to its basic building blocks of amino acids which you then absorb exactly as if... more
