To truly understand the cure for dark eye circles, you need to break down the problem systematically and address each issue separately.
What Causes Dark Eye Circles
Dark eye circles begin in the capillaries. These capillaries function to allow exchange of nutrients and oxygen to supply vital muscle and tissue. Sometimes, the red blood cells leak out of these capillaries and what happens in the eyes is that this stains the skin. When hemoglobin is broken down, its remaining components have a dark blue-black color. Just like a bruise. So your dark under-eye circles are actually caused by leaky capillaries.

2. Tiny blood vessels that just lie below the thin skin surface giving dark the circles the prominence we hate to have.
