What causes dark circles? Types and what helps each

Dark circles are caused by a mix of things: thin under-eye skin, tiredness, dryness, puffiness, pigmentation and genetics. Most people have more than one cause. Knowing which ones apply to you tells you what will help and what to expect from an under-eye serum.

1. Tiredness and late nights

Lack of sleep makes skin look dull and the under-eye area shadowed. What helps: regular sleep, plus a hydrating under-eye serum so the area looks fresher.

2. Dryness

Under-eye skin is very thin and dries out easily, which makes darkness and fine lines more obvious. What helps: nourishing oils and vitamin E. Jaago Coffee Dark Circle Serum combines coffee oil, green tea oil and vitamin E with almond, jojoba and apricot oils.

3. Pigmentation

Brownish darkness from sun exposure, rubbing the eyes or allergies. Very common in South Asian skin. What helps: sunscreen around (not in) the eyes every morning, and stopping eye-rubbing.

4. Puffiness and shadows

Fluid under the eyes, especially in the morning, casts a shadow that looks like a dark circle. What helps: less salt at night, a cool compress and gentle tapping when you apply an under-eye serum. Read: How to reduce puffy eyes in the morning.

5. Genetics and hollows

Some people are born with darker or thinner under-eye skin or deeper hollows. What helps: care can make the area look fresher, but cannot fully remove it. A dermatologist can explain in-clinic options.

A simple routine for most dark circles

  1. At night, take a rice-grain amount of Jaago Coffee Dark Circle Serum for both eyes.
  2. Tap it in gently with your ring finger, from the inner corner outwards.
  3. In the morning, use Sheer Defence SPF 60 around the eye area.
  4. Sleep 7 to 8 hours and drink enough water.

Most people notice softer, fresher-looking under-eyes in 2 to 4 weeks.
