I use it every morning and night. It doesn't make the puffiness totally disappear, just lessens it, which is more than any other thing I've tried. I can tell the difference!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-circles-and-puffy-eyes#post-1809861 Sat, 20 May 2017 08:16:32 +0000 Aliciaalvarado 1809861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m in my 40’s and get really puffy dark circles under my eyes, it’s a nightmare when I wake up in the morning!<br />After cleansing my face I have been applying dermalmd under eye serum, within 5 minutes of using this serum, I can see the puffiness going down and the dark color getting lighter.

I use to resemble little older, such that an old<br /> friend got it harder to recognize me. She recommended me to go for<br /> anti-wrinkle creams. Previously I use to use Prevage but the product did not<br /> give much results expected, after switching to <b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.thebeautyinsiders.com/dermagist.html">Dermagist wrinkle cream&nbsp;</a></b> with regular application of cream for 4<br /> weeks, the fine lines on skin nearly faded. This isn't so greasy and also<br /> does not make my skin look oily. It helped me to get rid of wrinkles. I am<br /> happy with this product.</span></span> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-circles-and-puffy-eyes#post-878049 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:39:38 +0000 siniestra 878049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tea bags as kalli suggest best ones is green tea and chromile one and other cheap option cold spoon it work... Lots of salt intake may lead the pufiness and water retention<br /> and take 15 -20 min naps during the day </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-circles-and-puffy-eyes#post-876961 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 17:05:27 +0000 texstyle 876961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glory, I use Origins foundation but I use Bare Minerals or Laremin powder blushes in a sheer pink tone. I do use Origins eyeliner (very soft pencil in Navy for me) and I like that on the top lash area only to draw attention away from the lower puffier zone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-circles-and-puffy-eyes#post-872655 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 17:07:47 +0000 Nicole D 872655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clinique makes a great product: Even better eyes dark circle corrector. Put it in the fridge first for an even more soothing experience. I haven't tried their anti-puffiness eye roller but it is probably good too. The eye corrector is the only clinique product I use!

I might even have seen it at Shoppers, but if not there, maybe the Bay? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-circles-and-puffy-eyes#post-871880 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 21:42:50 +0000 Glory 871880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for those tips. I will look at that book. I agree about more fresh air and I am not get any at all so that has to be remedied. Is your foundation and eye shadow both from Origins. I will have to see if that is available here in Canada. Also thanks for the information on medical aspects. I just had a physical but may go back in if the one eye doesn't go down a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-circles-and-puffy-eyes#post-871811 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 20:53:58 +0000 texstyle 871811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've read that puffiness under the eyes is often related to kidney, liver or thyroid function. So, you want to be sure you are doing what you can to keep yourself healthy. When I moved to the country my puffiness was much improved. I think I'm getting more time outdoors in the fresh air, sleeping more soundly, and eating better (not eating out where the food is SO sodium laden it almost seems criminal in some cases!) Too much sodium is hard on the kidneys. Alcohol is hard on the liver and dehydrates you so your body tries to retain water.</p> <p>I've also taken milk thistle/dandelion combinations on/off for several years. I actually gave up wearing concealer after reading that lighter make-up draws more attention to puffiness and makes it stand out. I think it was correct! Now I just use foundation under my eyes - just a little. I use Origins. And I brush very light sheer pink on my eyelids which also seems to help. </p> <p>There's a great book called "Makeup Wakeup" that I would recommend fo rmore tips. Not affiliated with it in any way - I just happened to read it and I liked it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-circles-and-puffy-eyes#post-871440 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 15:33:30 +0000 Glory 871440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Diane. I have also read that using Preparation H and leaving it on for 2 minutes reduces the swelling. I havent tried it yet. I am going to check on the GinZing. One site mentions shredding cucumber and using basil leaf tea. You then make a compress from it. In my case, I have one eye that is MUCH puffier than the other so I am quite keen to get some reduction. Last night I tried ice cubes in a toweltte and that helped a wee bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-circles-and-puffy-eyes#post-871313 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 14:21:54 +0000 Anonymous 871313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just did a bit of digging as I'd like to minimise my puffines too and it isn't definite that HA is to blame, but some eye cream ingredients CAN be to blame.I'm afraid it's a case of suck it and see. I read that putting eye creams in the fridge can help and those that contain caffeine or ginseng are effective. Origins do one called GinZing, that I might check out. Too much salt in diets is a factor too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-circles-and-puffy-eyes#post-871223 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 12:10:42 +0000 Anonymous 871223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have had slight puffiness under my eyes since I was a kid and my DS has the same feature so it must be hereditory. However over the last few years mine have got worse and are combined with dark circles. I think it has a lot to do with water retention and I think some eye creams that have hylauronic acid in them make it worse as the action of it is to hold in moisture and plump the skin. I am going to try to find a different eye cream for myself but I don't know if I will have more visible wrinkles! Suz is right in suggesting loads of fruit and veg; and I also drink green tea which is an aquired taste but I find its best if you don't over brew and add a tiny drizzle of runny honey to make it sweeter and less bitter. For me age is definitely a factor as I am going through the menopause and it plays havoc withyour sinuses thus adding to eye puffiness. try also regular gentle patting of the area and invest in a good concealer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-circles-and-puffy-eyes#post-871159 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 09:54:00 +0000 Deborah 871159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A good concealer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-circles-and-puffy-eyes#post-868432 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 00:53:53 +0000 Suz 868432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>6 or more servings of veggies per day. Preferably 10. A serving is a half cup cooked or 1 cup raw greens. </p> <p>Lots of water - 8 8 oz glasses</p> <p>Green tea</p> <p>Regular vigorous exercise. </p> <p>I still have them anyway, BTW.

Cucumber. Tea bags (cold) and eye creams with caffeine I believe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-circles-and-puffy-eyes#post-868359 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 23:42:15 +0000 Glory 868359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am noticing that as I get older the dark circles are getting darker. I don't think I am ready to embrace it quite yet. I am wondering if anyone has some products or therapies to hide or reduce them? </p>
