What Is Under-Eye Dark Circles?

Under-eye dark circles describe shadowing, discoloration, or hollowness beneath the eyes that creates a tired, aged appearance. They can be pigmented (brown), vascular (blue/purple), structural (shadow from volume loss), or a combination, and each type responds to a different treatment approach.

Common Causes of Under-Eye Dark Circles

  • Genetic predisposition (often the dominant cause)
  • Volume loss in the tear trough creating shadow
  • Thin skin showing underlying blood vessels
  • Sun damage and pigmentation
  • Allergies causing eye-area congestion
  • Poor sleep, dehydration, and lifestyle factors
  • Aging and bone-structure changes

Common Types of Under-Eye Dark Circles

Pigmented (Brown)

Excess melanin or post-inflammatory pigment in the under-eye area.

Vascular (Blue/Purple)

Visible blood vessels through thin skin.

Structural (Hollow)

Volume loss in the tear trough casting a shadow.
