Dark circles under the eyes can be of different types, whether they are caused by certain factors or genetic reasons. These types include:
  • Flaccidity: These dark circles appear due to the passage of time and the loss of collagen in the eye contour. They are common in older people, who begin to suffer from them along with wrinkles. 
  • Sunken: These are those that appear in the form of furrows under the eyes causing slight depressions in the skin and causing a “tired look” effect.
  • Circulatory: They are those of blue, pink or purple color. Their origin is a weak microcirculation of the eye contour that causes a thinning and laxity of the skin. These dark circles are more evident in people with thin and fair skin.
  • Transitory: These are dark circles under the eyes that appear at specific moments, either due to lack of rest or due to some kind of illness They are temporary, so they usually disappear. Although they can also be treated to accelerate their disappearance.
