ABSTRACT
Periorbital hyperchromia (dark eye circles) is a recurrent complaint in dermatologic
consultations, as it interferes with patients’ self-esteem. The eyes are central in the
communication process, and dark eye circles are very noticeable and make the face look tired; thus, options are available, publications on periorbital hyperpigmentation are scarce, and the vast majority lack a sound scientific basis to prove their efficacy and duration. This article analyzes the palpebral region’s anatomy and periorbital hyperchromia’s epidemiology, etiopathogeny, and treatments recommended in the literature.
Keywords: hyperpigmentation; eyelids; skin pigmentation; products for eye areas.
