How to reduce dark circles under eyes
As we embrace energetic days and late nights, we’re well-acquainted with dark under eye circles.
It’s a mission trying to find the best eye cream for dark circles and magic concealers – but we don’t need to keep up the illusion of wide-awake eyes and luminous skin any longer.
We’re going deeper to discover what causes dark under eye circles and how to effectively reduce dark circles. Understanding how lifestyle impacts skin health and learning the benefits of supplements like marine collagen, you can improve skin health and reduce dark circles naturally. So you can skip your concealer – just like our Vida Glow community.
Keep reading to learn more about your dark circles and the benefits of an ingestible solution to treat your pigmentation concerns form the inside out.

What are dark circles?
Dark under eye circles are blue, purple or muted red shadows, often concentrated in the tear trough and our eye’s inner corners.
What causes dark under-eye circles?
From poor sleep to genetics, we seem destined to live our lives with tired under-eyes. So by understanding what causes our dark circles, we can adopt targeted beauty solutions – and a balanced lifestyle – to support bright skin in one routine. Learning what is collagen and how it impacts your skin can also help address some of your concerns.
Natural collagen loss
The skin beneath our eyes is 10 times finer the rest of our face. And as we lose collagen and elastin with the natural ageing process, the skin under our eyes becomes even finer and translucent. Our capillaries are closer to skin’s surface – and their dark, blue appearance makes dark circles more prominent. This process highlights the benefits of marine collagen, as it helps support skin elasticity and reduces under-eye shadows. Our capillaries are closer to skin’s surface – and their dark, blue appearance makes dark circles more prominent.
Too much screen time
When we spend our days looking into bright, blue light our eyes can get red and irritated. And the capillaries around our eyes get red and irritated too – making our capillaries more pronounced and worsening the appearance of our dark circles.
Inadequate sleep, nutrition and hydration
An out of balance lifestyle shows on our skin and in our eyes. When we’re not getting quality sleep, maintaining a nutritious diet or drinking enough water our skin becomes dull and our eyes become sunken. And these under-eye bags amplify natural darkness or shadows below our eyes.
Our own genetics
If your skin tone is deep or olive, your dark circles might be hereditary. Inevitable dark circles can also be caused by our bone structure and the shadows cast by our eyes and browbone.
What should I do to reduce dark circles?
Get enough sleep
Lack of sleep is a common reason for dark circles under eyes. According to a research on sleep deprivation and facial appearance, when an individual does not get enough sleep, blood vessels dilatate and create dark bluish colour under the eyes. Getting a minimum of 7.5 hours of sleep each night helps to reduce and prevent dark cricles. Raising your head on extra pillows may reduce swelling and dark circles around the eye area.
Use supplements
Vida Glow’s Radiance+ Capsule is clinically proven to be effective on dark circles as it is on dark spots, melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Radiance Capsules is formulated with essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants – including vitamin C, zinc and carotenoids – to deliver brightening benefits across the complexion and the body.
Research shows that vitamin C is best known in topical skincare but try taking the brightening and skin-strengthening activity deeper. As an antioxidant, vitamin C for skin scavenges free radicals, supports cells and helps improve the health of tiny capillaries – like the capillaries found under our eyes. Study shows that by encouraging circulation, a daily dose of vitamin C enhances skin luminosity and illuminates dark circles. So you see visibly brighter skin in weeks and into the future.
Drink water
A common cause of dark circles under eyes is dedrydation, as water is essential to skin wellbeing, promoting skin elasticity and skin resilience. Adults need to drink 2.1 to 2.6 litres of water each day to ensure adequate hydration. Drinking enough water promotes blood circlulation around the eyes area, helping to reduce dark circles.
