Eye bags what treatment helps reduce?

Noticed at the grand age of 55 Ive got eye bags. Well I mean not baggy bags but prob more of a slightly darker area.

What treatment will help reduce or get rid of!

In the same boat as you, OP - though I sleep on my side so have uneven wrinkles too!
I’ve always thought an effective brightening cream must exist but not found the perfect one (yet!) BareMinerals Complexion Rescue is decent for the moment, though I keep it for special occasions rather than everyday use - not sure why, now that I think about it!
Anyway, I guess the usual rules of a gentle serum / cream, more sleep & drinking lots of water must apply.
(Not interested in cosmetic surgery.)

Hope you find something that works for you x

Mine are better when I do the basics of moisturising religiously morning and night, drinking 2 lts water a day and getting enough sleep. Haven’t found that any particular moisturiser is better than another it seems to just be more about making sure my skin is adequately hydrated.

Retinol…that’s the key if you don’t want invasive treatments.

Tear trough filler and decent retinol. I'd try the latter first because fillers near eyes freak me out but they definitely work.

The Medik8 retinal eye cream is v good
