I have allergies to house dust, cool weather mold, ragweed, and cigarette smoke, so I have nasal congestion and puffy under eye area problems almost always. I can keep the nasal congestion under control by using 6 to 8 grams a day of Vitamin C. One or 2 grams morning and bedtime, and 1 or 2 during the day anytime my nose gets stuffed up or drippy. Always before I stir up dust by housecleaning. However the Vitamin C has no effect on the puffy under eye issue. Has anyone successfully tried that cream advertised on TV that makes your puffiness disappear when applied lightly to the skin under the eye?

You may thing I’m joking, but I’m not - before you pay big money for what they’re selling, buy a tube of good old ‘Preparation H’ and use that on under eye puffiness. Test on a small area, though; it can irritate some people. (You won’t go blind or anything.)
Works like a charm and no one needs to know. It’s seriously the SAME ingredients. This is an old trick I learned from a friend that was a News Anchor and always had to look good no matter what she did the night before, LOL!
Other solutions: Cold compresses on your eyes, or an eye cream that has caffeine in it. (Never tried that.)
