You know I had heard this before about heavy creams causing congestion around the eyes. It makes sense really. But how do we find a eye cream that won't cause puffiness. Maybe the ones that advertise that they will alleviate puffiness? I hope others respond as this is a good question.

this is really good info, poodle---never thought about it before. I'm 60 and have had bags under my eyes for all my life. Went thru some health cr(a)p myself and its very important to be able to look at yourself and NOT cry!!! I like that you are taking charge and that what you are doing is making a difference. I will look at my eye creams too. Hope your days of steroids are over and you are on the road to recovery!! I'm going to check about what oils are better for under your eyes and will report back.

I did a search and found a few sites that said almond oil is good for puffiness. I use Argan and Rose hip oil around my eyes but I'm not sure either help with puffiness. They are both gentle and great for hydration.
I hope you're feeling better:-)

Whenever I use an eye cream at night , my eyes tend to look a bit puffier in the morning. That's why I use an eye serum.

Heavy eye creams can make eyes puffy at night. Another culprit is the amount of salt intake. In order to alleviate both of these issues drink at least 64 ounces of water every day. This is what I do and I never have puffy eyes anymore.

Yes, it can be your eye cream. I found out the hard way (like you).
I FINALLY found an eye cream that I can apply on my lids, & up to my bottom lash line. It's Lancome "Progres" eye creme. I LOVE it. It hydrates really well withour causing puffiness, milia, or irritation. I signed up at Lancomes site so I know when they have 20% off sales (a few times a year). I take those opportunities to stock up.
BTW, I've tried MANY eye creams over the years. This is my absolute fave!

I am surprised you did not mention eating everyone out of house & home when you are on steroids. I gained quite a bit of weight from 70 mg of steroids when I was in the hospital at the beginning of the year. as far as your eye cream. There was no such thing when I was growing up. Cosmetic cos. have to keep coming up with new products. I have used eye creams but now I just use my moisturizers as you want to keep the area hydrated. Believe it or not, Vaseline is excellent for under the eye area as it keep the skin taut.
