Eye Cream for Slight Puffiness, Dark Circles, and Fine Lines?

[NaleyRocks]

I tried the garnier stuff for my dark under eye circles and didn't see any results.

I get the idea of not expecting miracles, but why buy the cream at all if it isn't going to provide results? That just doesn't make sense.

I see solutions for puffiness and wrinkles, but from what I'm finding about dark circles, theres not really anything short of surgery I can do.

I keep reading about Juvederm. It seems its a miracle,but its only for those with eye hollows,the opposite of bags.

Have you tried:
- avoiding dietary triggers
- yogi detox tea
- almond oil
- vitamin K cream
?


Those caffeine rollers just make it worse in the long run by drying out the area. Its just like visine for the undereye area. Overuse is not good.

My 58 yr old mom had this done....
It was indeed a miracle.

No surgery or injections for me, I'll deal with the dark circles if that's my only option. For now anyway,not to say I won't change my mind as I age.

Almond Oil and Vitamin K I have not tried. Ingested or topical application?

I've had good success with the MAC eye cream with caffeine in it, for puffiness and fine lines.
For the shadowed skin, the only thing I even try is a little extra foundation (instead of a product marketed as a concealer).

A trick I learned at the Shiseido counter last year: when you apply eye cream, use your fingertips and PRESS it into the skin. Don't rub or wipe it or even tap it in. Use the same kind of massaging motion that you'd use to massage your feet. You're not moving your fingers around the skin. You're moving the skin with your fingers. Tiny circular pressure movements. This gets the cream into the skin but at the same time stimulates the capillaries and blood vessels, and really does a great job of reducing some of that dark shadowy appearance. Doesn't get rid of it but it makes it a whole lot easier to apply the foundation to conceal the rest after.

I have been using Eyesential for years which is amazing. It is a short-term fix, lasting all day.

Topical. I preferred the almond oil.


Reviva Labs Vitamin K Cream -- 1.5 oz - Vitacost
A vitamin K cream though ^^^^
I can't find the St. Ives one I used to use but Reviva Labs stuff has been ok so far for me.


I didn't have the tinted area type dark circles but rings right where the eye socket was. I assume my issue was partially due to over drying the skin in that area + food triggers.

You have to do both for best results. (topical and dietary change)

A lot of people eat too much salt. Start there and see if you are over doing it with salt.
Processed sugar would be next.
Caffine - do your best to not drink too much if any at all (coffee addict here understands..lol)
