My puffy under eyes are fat pads under the skin--nothing but a sharp scalpel will get rid of them.

Yep, I use hemorrhoid cream (walmart brand). Just a tiny dab will do it! :-)

That is the only thing that's ever worked for me when I have major puffies. I like the Prep H gel.  I use it like an eye mask for about 30 minutes, then wash it off. It needs some time to work it's magic and it really is magic.

Great tip.  Thanks.

Stench?? Witch Hazel has a smell, but it's not as bad as described (rotting eggs & burning tires).

You can find the Dickinsons Eye Gel for a lot less on ebay, but the first 3 indredients are witch hazel, water and alcohol, sounds a little harsh and drying for under the eye.

I have rubbing alcohol and peroxide, no witch hazel, I must buy some.

Isn't this stuff drying???  Can someone post and say whether it is?  Using it under the eyes -- I would think it would dry this area out and also burn -- have to be careful not to get in eyes, wouldn't you?  Thanks!

@AngelPuppy1  I recently purchased the Dickinson's Eye Gel and just wanted to share the product info on this thread (I seldom post), particularly since it has some good reviews. Of course, everyone is different, but I haven't found it to be drying or irritating, so far. I lightly apply it only to the puffy areas under my eyes and think it might have promise if given a fair try. Honestly, I haven't gotten consistent yet, and I think that's the key. It won't dissolve fat pads, of course, but for those who have puffiness from swelling, it might be of some benefit.

To those who are using straight witch hazel, thanks for your info, and I hope you all continue to have success. I might give that a try, also!

Thaks for the reply but I meant to ask about the regular witch hazel applying to the face. I read here that people really like it but I am concerned that it might be too drying.  I am glad that the eye gel is helping you!!!
