Hi! If you are describing dark circles under your eyes, then I found the best help for them doesn't rely on topical treatments like creams. I'm sure this is not what you wanted to hear but I also have dark circles and have spend tons of money on different products and the results for dark circles is about the same. Besides, usually circles are hereditary so even if they are alleviated, you'll never really get rid of them.
The steps I've found to be the most effective method at reducing my dark circles are:
[*]regular moderate exercise, to increase circulation and reduce stress
[*]drink enough water
[*]get enough sleep
[*]don't smoke
[*]take vitamins daily
[*]use sunblock on my face every day
[*]take steps to reduce seasonal allergies
I know...boring!!
But IMHO circles are an indicator of general health well being. My circles come out darker right before my period, when I'm stressed and when I'm sick or not feeling good.
Regarding eye creams, since you're young and still have strong skin, you'll probably have as much success with Neutrogena's Visibly Firm eye cream, Almay Kinetin eye cream and other drug store products as with MAC's eye cream.
I also like the green tea bag technique as an occasional treat, so these two may do the trick for you.
Good luck!!
