I have bags under my eyes. They look terrible. Is there any cream I can use to help this? Thanks.

Look up madhippie dot com and read about the ingredients in their eye cream. I like this one quite a bit, but get a better price ordering elsewhere online. If you don't want mad hippie's per se, look for the key ingredients in whatever other product you might consider. Haloxyl and Eyeliss are a big deal for discoloration and puffiness, but you also want peptides for firming. In the AM, what I like to do is to use a drop of Mizon Peptide 500 Ampoule, dab that on and then use the Mad Hippie Eye Cream over that. At night, I'll do use the drop of the peptide ampoule and then use Skinn Eye Creme Reverse over it.

FYI, the Mizon Peptide 500 Ampoule can be used on your face, too. You can add a few drops to something else you're applying or just tap a few drops on alone.

Cucumber slices work really well, then put your eye cream on. Using an eye cream with caffeine helps as well.

One of the most helpful products I've found is Isomers R Pur for eyes. Runs around $35. It can be bought on Evine or on Ebay. It looks like it is no longer available on Isomers website so I plan to email them to ask what is taking its place since I'm almost out. Here's the product description:
