What do you recommend for puffy under bags?
I'm currently using dermaroller .5mm with Vitamin C 15%, CP*ghk*, avocado oil, pure Aloe Vera gel and rose hip oil. Shortly i order the Super cop 2x or Night Eyes once i use all of the ghk.

I recently just started doing the "gua sha massage *scraping* using a cold spoon for my eye bags. I also started taking high amt of pure MSM, indian gooseberry vitamin C powder forms with spirlina in Orange Juice.

I use a wet towel that I put in the freezer for 5 minutes and apply on my eyes.... Eat more vegies and seafoods esp. foods that contains Omega oils and all that. Limit your meat consumption a little bit....

If you have bad under-eye bags, find a good surgeon and get a lower bleph. Job done!

This site is full of resourceful and experienced people who should be able to give you suggestions before you undergo costly and risky surgical proceedures (which should be a last resort). There are a lot of products out there and methods for reducing bags.

I don't particularly have this problem so I'll bump this so someone who is educated in this area can help Smile

Good luck

I might have headed the surgery route if I hadn't found Easy Eye solutions....it works very well for me. It hides my problem yet it is also a treatment. Even though my under eye area looks better from the use I still use it daily because it makes everything look perfect. There is a learning curve in getting just the right amount but it is so worth a try.

I completely agree with the others here who say that surgical removal should be a last resort. Not only is any sort of cosmetic surgery expensive, it might not be necessary. Try Jade's suggestion of eating more vegetables and such first. Speaking from my own personal experience, my skin has never been better since I became a vegetarian. Full vegetarianism certainly isn't for everyone, but it has been known to do wonders for one's skin.

I agree with dermaglowgurl that a good diet can make a difference in one's appearance. That said what reduced my under eye baggage incredibly enough was using the Clairsonic. Just normally, on my face, not over my eyes or anything. I use the softest brush (the blue one) and do it nightly. Maybe it just moves the blood and helped the toxins move out. I never even mentioned this on any forums until I came across another person saying the same thing about her Clarisonic use. (I have one of the old original models, btw, in pink. I'm not associated with the company!)

My undereye area responded best with the Vaculifter. I had more of the fat pad thingy going on. It seemed to help very slowly firm them up and reduce the swollen look. I tried every cream on the market but nothing worked like the Vaculifter. It's one device I will not give up Very Happy

Great news.....how long did it take for this to happen and which size vaculift were you using?

It only took a few weeks for my skin to start looking better after I began my vegetarian diet. About six months of the vegetarian diet, I started to eat meat again (mostly grilled chicken) and it only took a few DAYS for my skin to begin to go back to its old ways. One's diet is so very important and really can't be understated. I really think that most skin problems can be solved by proper diet and exercise.

Hi Toby! I have been using the Vaculifter for about 8 months now. I can't believe the difference it has made.

Thu Jul 21, 2011 11:13 pm

Drinking more water will help as well...

Tasha great to hear you have had results with your current routine. Try adding High Frequency to your routine. Also other members on this forum have spoken about using Lecithin for bags, I'm going to give it a try.

Hi Toby, I was wondering where you bought the vaculifter from? Is it safe to order from vaculifter.eu? It's the only online shop I could find...

Like with anything you have to experiment with what works for your under eyes.

Something that I realized now is really good is a la prairie product. It's Contour Cream for Eyes, comes in a silver pump bottle, one ingredient is frankincense.

I would use it sparingly. Then one day a larger blob came out so I put it on and guess what -- my eyes looked really good. And the effect lasted for 2 days. So, now I use the bigger blob amount!

It's something I will buy again. Their concealer (also in a silver bottle, but applies with a self applicator brush (although I pat with my finger tip) is also very good. I would buy again.

While these 2 products are great for me, I can't say (how could I?) how they would perform for you. But if you have a chance to sample them, do try.

Have any of you with this problem tried doing away with eye creams? I honestly believe they are part of the problem. Even a surgeon on Extreme Makeover did once explain that gunk found under the eyes is usually common in people who use eye creams. I have witnessed it on myself too after a lady at a cosmetics counter suggested I them on my non-puffy eyes as a preventative measure in my mid-twenties. Within a week, I had puffy eyes. I quit and returned to my tried and true Vaseline Petroleum Jelly which I had been using since I was 20 with great results and my eyes returned to normal. I've never looked back. I've also come across articles that support the theory that creams around eyes are not a good idea:

Quote:

#10: Almond helps to remove dark circles and is an excellent "skin food". Remove the cream applied around the eye after 10 min. No cream should be left on the skin around the eyes for long periods.

(homemademedicine.com/home-remedies-dark-circles-under-the-eyes.html)

I do believe drinking water during the day and not just before bed can also help with reducing puffy eyes. Too much salt in the diet could also be to blame for puffy eyes.

Hi,

I began facial exercises in 2002 (still do them) to avoid getting under eye bags that seemed hereditary. That helped quite a bit, but I still had under eye bags. I also used Easy Eye Solutions which also had some effect. To my surprise the protocol that essentially completely eliminated my under eye bags was doing lymphatic massage. I use the one described at this website:

http://allnaturalbeauty.us/ani10.htm

I did the massage every night for two weeks and now do it once a week during my OCM at night. I think that it is fantastic and I am thrilled with my results. No creams, serums, or even facial exercise have had this level of positive impact on my under eye bags. Best wishes.
