Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum but love it so far!
I wanted to pick your knowledge on puffy eyes. I'm 21 but I have horribly puffy, dark, eyes, with thin tissue and deep lines starting in them. I haven't been into beauty for most of my life, so I honestly don't know how long I've had them. I just know I want to get rid of them! They feel tired... even if I've gotten enough sleep they have that puffy tired eyes feeling. I work at the computer a lot- could this be contributing? If anyone has a suggestion, please let me know. It's mostly the puffiness I'm concerned about, because I can't even cover that. Second, the darkness. I'm tired of people asking me if I'm okay!!! |

Hello and welcome!
My top tips are:
Make sure you get enough rest
Take a good vitamin C supplement
Always keep a couple of spoons in your fridge to put on your eyes (this works) Or put them in the freezer for a short time before you do it.
Peter Thomas Roth Power K eye cream. Pricy but works! |

At 21 you should not be plagued with constant puffy eyes. The occasional morning after a late night out and little sleep is ok but to have them everyday suggests to me that there may be something else wrong.
There may be something in your work environment aggravating your eyes, eg airconditioning which is drying them out or you may be suffering eye strain due to needing glasses or you may need a glare cover over the computer screen. Perhaps first, get your eyes checked by an optometrist as a first step. |

| I have constant puffy eyes but that's all. No dark undereyes, no circles, no dryness just puffiness. I was born with them - probably fatty deposits I assume. I'm still looking for an HG eye gel that would diminish them - all I've found are eye gels that maintain and don't make them worse. I don't use concealer under my eyes either. I'm going for the Cellcosmet eye gel with my voucher, seems like it's got good reviews here in EDS. Hopefully it can diminish (or almost diminish) my puffiness. |

Hi Athena!
I would totally recommend the IlluminEYES duo from Ice Elements that is available at hsn for those in the US. The duo contains both the eye serum and the eye cream. The serum is great for both puffyness and dark circles or dark pigmentation... Actually, you may want to use only the serum, as that may be all you need.
Good luck in whatever you choose! |

| I find the Juvena Serum really effective in reducing puffy eyes. Have Bushy to thank for her recommendation! I've got my mum to start using it too and she loves it. As for darkness under your eyes, i've yet to find something that helps me. |

| You might also try Dr. Hauschka Eye Solace. It works wonders on my eyes when they're itchy, red, and puffy from seasonal allergies. |

Go there..they rated eyederma to be the best eye cream out of 30. Also I read potassium supplements or eating a banana will help with dark circles. Refrigerating your eyecream can help calm down some of the puffiness or at least it feels refreshing. |

I've had a similar problem and found out that it had to do with one of my glands. Getting a simple blood test will rule it out.
Using Vitamin C is good for the dark circles and at night I would suggest Re Vive eye renewal or Cellcosmet eye contour gel-XT. Both can be applied on the eyelids! Years ago, when there was a lot of death in my family, I could not sleep and cried and I think I had a lot of salt in my diet because I ate a lot of hospital foods. Both lower and upper eyelids were swollen and they looked like balloons!  I put on Re Vive and it worked!
Recently, I'm stressed with this job interview, night school and feeling overwhelmed with the school load of information. I woke up in the middle of the night to find the same thing happen to me years ago. I applied Cellcosmet eye contour gel-XT and worked just as well as Re Vive. 
Both Vitamin C and Cellcosmet is very expensive and worth the investment. Even if all is well afterwards, the same products will continue to prevent signs of aging and the gel makes your eye area feel firm.
As you get older, you may want to get a cream, depending where you live (if there is a lot of humidity) and if your skin fets this pulling/tight feeling (some dryness). |

I would agree with you on that....another sign is that puffy eyes is telling you that you are dehydrated and/or may have kidney stones!
That is what happen to me several times  |

| Wasn't the eyederma the same as OCUDERM? I remember looking at the same report months ago, did they change the name? The info on eyederma is the same as it was with ocuderm, EXACTLY the same. I read on EDS that ocuderm was just hype and that there's no real reseach on it (do a search). That was what put me off from buying it in the first place. |

| I was that you're not supposed to drink anything after 8 p.m. No sodas after 7 p.m. I was also taking a sleep class because I was having problems sleeping....maybe those rules don't or shouldn't apply to evrryone??????? |

According to Chinese traditional medical theroies, the puffy eyes and dark circles have something to do with the person's kidney health.
i have tried quite a few stuff, Origins no puffery eye mask and Sisley's eye and lip contour balm seem to work for me, well can't completely remove the problem but it helps. |

| I have been using PSF cranberry eyelift, and find that if I wake up with puffy eyes and apply this it deflates them right away. Jury's still out on dark circles and fine lines - haven't been using it long enough to tell |

Elizasue
Does it also deflate the lower lids eg puffy bags under your eyes? |

yup, it sure does.
I use it on both my upper and lower lids. I don't really need much "lifting", so the effects I see are mainly in depuffing my undereye area. I am using this in the AM only, been using about 2 wks now. My biggest wow from this though is that it is not irritating me - doesn't make my skin burn or my eyes sting and itch and turn red - a major accomplishment |

It will be on my next order from EDS 
I've ready elsewhere in the forum that it is not moisturising enough. Do you put another eye cream/gel over it? |
