If you're like me and have issues with puffy eyes, under eye bags, fine lines or wrinkles on the lower eyelids.

And, you've probably been disappointed to find most instant eye lift serums are thick, drying, leave white streaks, or irritate under eye skin, especially on sensitive, dry, mature skin, or thin skin.

Good News!

Refusing to give up, I kept searching for the best instant eye lift serum. And I'm happy to say I finally found a puffy eye solution that works.

How to reduce puffy eyes - Solution

I found a serum called EES that helps to "tuck" and gently tighten the delicate skin around the eyes and reduce temporary puffiness. And this serum works without irritation.

I simply smooth a pea size drop under the eyes and let it soak in for about 5 minutes. That's it. And my friends love it too!

Watch this video of my friend reduce the appearance of her very deep under eye bags. Her results are amazing!

How it works

This lightweight, gentle eye de-puffer serum helps tighten the skin under my eyes without irritate my skin. The results made a difference between looking tired and looking refreshed.

Step 1: Simply swipe a pea size serum across the puffy under eye area.

Step 2: Let it dry for a few minutes.

AND, the best is you can apply this over your favorite moisturizer - you just need to let the moisturizer absorb a bit before applying the serum.

See Tips below for best results.

Here is another before and after picture using the serum on one eye.

Gentle and quick puffy eye fix

Some days, I felt so self-conscious because my eyes looked tired, swollen, or puffy… I just wish I could hide behind dark sunglasses and big old hat!

I needed something that:

• was gentle for mature or delicate under eye skin
• didn't cause itching, irritation or dryness
• worked quickly to reduce the look of under eye puffiness, shadows and fine under eye lines

The trouble we go through to remove under eye bags

I've had issues with puffy eyes my whole life and can honestly say I've tried every option suggested on the internet. From lifestyle changes to home treatments including:

• getting enough sleep
• using an extra pillow
• not consuming too much salt 
• reducing alcohol intake 
• cool compress using green tea bags or ice pack
• lymphatic massages to increase blood flow and reduce excess fluid 
• vitamin C creams and even hemorrhoid creams 

But none of these treatment options reduced the appearance of puffy eyes. And now that I'm older, it happens more often, last much longer and the lower lid has gotten a bit crêpy and wrinkled!

Out of desperation, I even sought medical treatment, but the eye doctor said this was more of a cosmetic concern without any serious underlying cause.

I wake up with swollen eyelids almost every day so getting ready in the morning was such a hassle!

I could never just get up, wash my face and go. Instead, I would set my alarm 15 minutes early every morning, place either ice packs, cold cucumbers, or cold spoons and hope they helped reduce some under-eye puffiness quickly.

Now reducing puffy eyes is fast and easy!

After searching for over 20+ years, I found an anti-fatigue, eye lifting serum that works instantly (in 5 minutes or less).

And, it offers the results I'm looking for and lasts all day. This serum acts like a girdle that gently pulls-in and smooths the whole under-eye area.

Now I feel more confident. No matter how tired I am-  I know I can look more wide awake in just a few minutes. 

What is the best over the counter product for puffy eyes?

Serums: While some eye lift serums helped reduce eye puffiness, they usually come with uncomfortable side-effects that can leave the skin feeling irritated. Most were too drying, too sticky, left a white powdery residue, or cracked when you smiled. At least that's been my experience. Check out my comparison of different puffy eye serums here... 

Creams: If you suffer from puffy eyes, forget under eye creams that are supposed to de-puff the eye area. While they may feel hydrating, they did NOTHING to reduce bags under the eyes or tighten/lift the under-eye area.

Gels: I've tried them all, even the popular and very expensive LifeCell eye gel. While it felt good and was cooling, it did nothing to tighten or lift under-eye area. Bottom line: Is LifeCell worth the money? No, not for me.

If you've ever watched those infomercials for puffy eye serums that work in 60 seconds, have you noticed the person who had the miraculous results never smiled? That's because many of those of eye lift serums are so drying, they crack and peel when you make facial expressions.

This under-eye serum is different

This eye lift, puffy eye serum is different because:

• it's not glue-like, thick, drying or sticky
• it does not leave a whitish residue, unless you use too much
  
• it's easy to work with
  
• it has a light flexible, gel-like consistency 
  

Plus, unlike most other eye lift serums, you can apply this serum on top of your favorite moisturizer or makeup.  

This is important if you're a man or woman over 40 and have dry under eye skin. We need our moisturizer, right?

How to reduce puffy eyes with the EES serum: Tips for best results

You only need to apply it once a day and it will last for 10-12 hours.

For me, it's even lasted after a 2-hour long sweaty workout, as long as I don't rub the under eye area.

Once the other skincare products have had time to soak in (about 5-10) minutes, I do the following:

• swipe a pea-size drop of the EES serum across the puffy part of the under-eye area.
  

• While the serum is absorbing, try not to smile or crinkle the under eye skin. Some people feel a bit of tingling as it works to shrink and lift the skin.
  

Does this work for dark bags or circles under the eyes?

Sometimes under eye puffiness can cast a shadow above the cheek bone which can look like dark bags or dark circles under the eyes. If you reduce the puffiness, you can reduce the look of shadows or dark circles under the eyes too.

Help brighten under eye area

If you have slight discoloration under the skin around the eyes you can smooth a tiny drop of the EES Illuminating Cream, which is a brightening cream that is meant to work with the EES under eye serum.

While the Illuminating cream is not a concealer, it does contain reflective particles and small amounts of highlighter, so it brightens and lightens the whole eye area.

Here is how I use the Illuminating cream on days when I have dark shadows, discoloration, or dark circles under my eyes.

I'll apply a small drop of the hydrating cream:

• under the eye
• above the eye (on brow bone)
• on the top of my cheek bones for a brighter more wide awake eye area

Then when this cream has had a few mintues to soak in, I'll apply the EES eye serum on top.

How to Reduce Puffy Eyes: FAQ's

Got questions about reducing puffy eyes? Let us know, we'll try to answer them here.

Q: How do you Depuff your eyes in minutes?

A: Well, you can spend a few minutes with cold compresses on your eyes. But, this could take up to 30 minutes to see results.

Personally, I use the EES (Easy Eye Serum) first thing in the morning. It helps reduce the look of puffiness and that crinkly looking skin we often get on top of the cheekbones.

The serum takes about 5 minutes to dry, so it's pretty fast. Much faster than sitting around with ice cubes on your eyelids. :-)

Q: What is best for crepey skin under eyes?

A: If you want quick results to reduce the look of crepey under eye skin, try the serum mentioned on this page. It will reduce the look, temporarily. If you're looking for long term results, a good, hydrating retinol cream can stimulate collagen production and firm up the under eye area, as well as your whole face and neck.

This OBAGI360 retinol cream is super hydrating and great for delicate under eye skin.

Q: Does hyaluronic acid reduce puffy eyes?

A: Hyaluronic acid can help hydrate the skin, but will not have an effect in reducing excess fluid under the eyes. A good puffy eye serum can help reduce the appearance of puffiness, and a facial stimulating massage can help reduce and move excess fluid away from the under eye area.

Q: Does eye puffiness cream work?

A: I've never had a cream that reduced puffy eyes. I've even tried creams (and made my own at-home) with caffeine or coffee grinds. But, I never saw quick results.

Eye puffy creams might work over time, but I'm always looking for a quick fix, so I can go about my day and look refreshed, not tired.
