Does anyone have a recommendation for the best eye cream to reduce puffiness. I seem to be staying up late these days but having to look refreshed for the next day. I have heard that there are eye creams with caffeine in them? Is this true? Do you know of any? I recently sampled the no puffery eye mask from origins but you have to either leave it on for 5 minutes (who has time for a mask every day) or all day and it seems a little silly leaving a mask on all day. Any ideas?

I've tried everything.

Seriously.

I heard the same about caffeine but had little success.

A friend of mine had sent me some Boots Ultimate Eye Lift Gel and this actually worked well for me and it's something I can't go without.

It's a clear liquid gel that I massage under my eyes once in the evening before bed and again in the morning prior to eye cream.

You have to massage it in I think that's part of why it worked well for me. At first I seen no results but after about a 7-9 days my eyes looked quite refreshed.

It also depends on your age I guess. I'm 30 and feeling the effects of dry eyes, fine lines, and puffiness daily :(

Kenzoki makes a cream that you keep in the fridge to reduce puffiness. I like it quite a bit.

I am interested to hear what people say about this. I have heard of something by MAC called Fast Response Eye Cream. It has caffeine in it as well. Anyone try it?

I haven't used it myself, but my friend who barely ever sleeps swears by it. The caffeine must work!

I have tried both the Boots Ultimate Lift Eye Gel and MAC Fast Response and I have to agree that they both work pretty well on reducing puffiness. The Boots one is slightly more moisturizing so I use it at night and the Fast Response is great fro prepping the eye area for makeup. I would recommend keeping them in the fridge for an extra boost.

I also heard that preparation H works on bags and has been long used by makeup artists.

I have just recently discovered Dr. Patricia Wexler Instant De-Puff eye gel from a beauty blog. I am only 25 but have ridiculously dry skin and major fine lines around my eyes already. I picked it up (it's only 19.50 as well, big A+) at Bath and Body Works and I really really like it. It is SO cooling, reduces puffiness, and really diminishes my fine lines. If anyone else has used it, I would love to hear what they think. Plus, I am always open to new suggestions!
