Fine lines under eyes

Can anyone recommend anything to get rid of the fine lines under my eyes? I've recently been waking up with bags under my eyes which go down within 10 minutes of being up but I still have fine line there. Any suggestions? I'm 20 and get at least 7 hours of sleep a night.

Are you using moisturiser on them at night?. I always think moisturiser can make that area puffy.

The ordinary do a caffeine serum which I use day and night.

fluffy I've just started using coconut oil on my eyes at night as the skin in the corner of my eyes was really dry

Ooh that’s a bit heavy. I gently dab cream around my cheekbones at night and press any residue over my eyes gently. The skins really thin there, it doesn’t need a lot of moisture to stay hydrated.

No wonder you’ve got puffy eyes 😀. Mystery solved!.

Clinique "All about eyes" . I had the most terrible lines and bags around my eyes for a good 6 weeks at the start of the Covid season ( work in care, crying every morning and night and getting very little sleep) I generally use Clinique stuff and found a little sample pot of the eye cream in my make-up drawer and decided to give it a go. My eyes are totally revitalised, smooth skin, lines much less present. Give it a go.

Thanks for the advice 😊 fluffy I think you've cracked it. I only started using the coconut oil this week and this week I started getting puffy eyes. And there's me thinking it would be helpful 🤦‍♀️

I'm 35, so a fair bit older than you, but had recently been getting fine lines under my eyes and crows feet. For the last few weeks at night I've been applying rosehip oil and then a very fine layer of Vaseline over the top to seal it in (came off the back of a recommendation on a S&B thread) and they have completely disappeared.

Also tried this on my whole face a few times and my '11s' and forehead lines have completely gone too. Really impressed and v cheap and easy to do.

I have started using the ordinary caffeine solution and it really seems to have helped, certainly reduced the dark circles and along with my nivea q10 eye cream in about a week I seem to look less 'crinkly' round my eyes.
