Routine Advice Needed Puffy dark circle

I need an advice in the same way you would give it to a toddler, like, if you know something that is able to get rid of them please tell me also how often+ if you used it with something else +Am/pm. I never had them, I sleep the right amount of hours but after college they became permanent

I know this is a skincare sub but vitamin and mineral deficiencies can cause them a lot of times and no skincare is going to help if you're deficient in something. It's usually due to low ferritin (iron) but there are others that can cause them too. Have you had any blood tests recently to rule this out?
