“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.)

The ads I have seen are $15, I wonder how much Prep H costs. Also does Prep H say it is a silicate substance like the ad does? Cold compresses have NOT worked for me, and I never heard of an eye cream with caffeine. I’ll be in a drug store in a few days so will look at Prep H. It should not sting much given the usual location of use. ;-) Thanks
