I'm currently 33+2 with DC2 and have already noticed new bags have appeared where there were none before (sob)

Can anyone recommend any serums/creams/products that might make me look less like I have a newborn? Big ask I know!

I'm already using the M&S Sleep Cream which I really like but isn't quite the miracle worker I'd hoped for. Any other suggestions please lovely MNers?

I don't know how much it will help but I've just a serum from superdrug and it feels lovely on my very dry, tired, mum of toddler who doesn't sleep, skin.

It's called Calm skin hydrating 2 in 1 serum and moisturiser. It was cheap... Can't remember how much exactly, maybe £2.99. It feels so much nicer than more expensive serums I've tried in the past.

I also use a rosehip facial oil from the botanics range at boots. Lack of sleep makes me skin really dry and dehydrated and I've started taking much better care of it recently and I am seeing a difference.

Congrats on dc 2 btw.

Thank you I'll check it out 😊

Congrats! I have been using the ordinary caffeine solution for months now and it’s hands down the best thing for my eye bags I’ve ever came across. I’m not a fan of the ordinary in general but this has been outstanding!

The only problem is that it’s out of stock all the time and I’ve heard a couple of people saying it stung them...no problems with that here though. Just makes me look like I’ve had a good nights sleep

Another vote for The Ordinary Caffeine solution. Been using for a couple of months now and definitely seen an improvement in eye bags. Have also used their buffet, hyaluronic acid and argon oil and noticed massive differences in my overall skin condition (no monthly break outs and soft hydrated skin, yippee!) Was sceptical but it really works and isn't too expensive. Like someone else said though you have to order in advance as their seems to be big waiting lists because it's so popular.

Thank you both! I've ordered some from Amazon. I've read about it in a few 'best eye creams for tired eyes' articles so you've cinched it and I'll give it a go. Fingers crossed eh.

Alpha lipoic acid. The Ordinary does one but there are others. It's acid + antioxidant. Honestly, it's like I have baby skin the next day.
