Dark Circles: Q&A

What is the Best Way for Me to Remove / Hide my Dark Circles? (photo)
Hi, I have dark skin on my eyelids and undereye circles, complete with "allergic shiners" and deep creases under my eyes. I receive allergy shots but still get eczema flare-ups on my upper and lower eye area, sometimes causing my eyelids to swell. The skin in this area is very dry all the time - so I cannot use bleaching cream or Retin-A in these areas as it destroys my skin. I would be grateful for any recommendation on how to hide them and fix the skin!

Allergic shiner = dark circle
Allergic shiner is a made up concept for pediatricians to explain away dark circles to nervous mothers. There is a recent study suggesting that they really are associated with allergic rhinitis but the study is poorly done. Fillers for the under eye are helpful by improving the lower eyelid volume relationship.
