Eye treatments for dark circles and puffiness

StacyCrane — Thu, 20 Mar 2014 15:00:48 GMT

My latest peril with aging is my battle with dark circles and puffiness. I'm not sure what has changed in the last year or so but I wake up now with awful, purple, dark circles under my eyes right along my cheekbone. Above the dark circle, I'm a bit puffy. I've also got some new white bumps there... Yikes! Has anyone found an eye cream or gel that actually works?!

The white bumps sound like they could be milia.
For a really good eye cream, check out Mad Hippie Eye Cream (madhippie dot com). It's got a very nice list of ingredients and it's more of a lotion consistency than a thick cream. Nice stuff. If you decide to purchase, do some price checking on the internet.

Serious Skin Care Reverse Lift eye cream is the best that I have tried for puffiness and tightening (purchase at amazondotcom it is cheaper there). For a quick fix I use Philosophy, Boscia or Benefit Gel for puffiness. All three work the same. Benefit also has an under eye brightener that tightens the eye area called Ooh La Lift. For dark circles I use Maybelline Age Rewind for dark spots. It works great for lightening the dark circles and is your under eye concealer.

Try Skinn Cosmetics--""Hylighten"" If used consistently it will reduce the darkness...I dont have puffiness but it is described as helping that too.

Thanks ladies! I think I'll give the Isomers R Pur a try. I like the price on the Mad Hippie and the ingredients look great in it but it looks like a number of people have had some reaction to it. I think my skin must be somewhat sensitive since band aid adhesive has begun to create a nasty allergic reaction...

I would not be without my Genie Instant Line Smoother! This is truly a love it or hate it product if you read the reviews but me I LOVE it. I gave it the DH test many times...put it on 1 eye then ask him which looks better. So far he picks the ""Genie eye"" every time! Works for me maybe you too.
