Extreme dunder eye circles and bags at 25- please help

Posted , 1 user is following.

Hi,

I was hoping someone could help me with this issue. I suffer from extremely dark under eye circles which make me look extremely tired and worn out no matter how much sleep i get. I think this significantly ages me which is sad because I am only 25. I am very into skincare and cleanse and moisturise my face every night and using hylauronic acid and retinol (with a formulated retinol eye cream) as I was told this might help. I drink 2 litres of water everyday and sleep atleast 8 hours a night so I can't figure out why this problem persists. It's starting to really get me down as it's very obvious still even with makeup as in the second photo. I considered under eye filler but the bags actually seem to sit out from my skin rather than trough in so I dont think this would be effective. I also tried a caffiene eye cream and didnt see any results. I do suffer from Ulcerative Colitis which may be a contributing factor due to my body struggling to absorb minerals during digestion. I also have quite round apple cheeks so I have considered this may be a factor too in creating a pocket of fat under my eyes when i smile. Can anyone suggest something that might help ? Willing to try anything as now when i look at my face all I can see is my bags and I am done spending money on creams etc that have no effect.
