Products or tricks that actually work on puffy eyes

Just that. My under eyes are prone to being really puffy. It’s genetic I think - my mum has them dreadfully. And mine are definitely getting worse with age. I’ve tried a few things but nothing seems to really work. Any ideas? Not even that fussed on budget - I’ll try anything because they look awful.

Following this. My eyes are horribly puffy some mornings, I've read that anusol pile cream helps but should only be used every now and then.

Have you tried lymphatic drainage? I massage gently around the eye socket, light taps work well, and my eyes are much less puffy

Watching with interest...I'm having the same problem at the moment ☹️

I have tried the lymphatic thing...didn’t think it made that much difference. How long do you do it for?

Anusol, you say...

I just do it for a couple of minutes as I’m putting on eye cream/moisturiser in the morning. Also carry on down the side of the face, in front and behind the ears. I find it makes a big difference

Are they puffy as in fluid or fat bags?

For fluid drink an espresso in the morning, an extra pillow, not too much salt, drink water later

The old cold cucumber slice or a cold teabag.

Sometimes the wheel doesn’t need reinventing.

If they are really puffy, wrinkly and baggy then it could be an allergy, so try an antihistamine and avoid salt and Chinese takeaway.

Cold spoons

I find the Aldi Caviar Night Cream is quite good on puffy eyes in the morning. Feels like it tightens them up a bit. Apparently hyaluronic acid has this affect so look for something with that in. I'm not an expert though..

Research periorbital rejuvenation, basically fillers. Some great results.
