The Best Skin Care Products for Puffy Eyes Age ain't nothing but a number -- until we're talking puffy eyes. As you get older, your skin thins and sags, and muscles around your eyes weaken. Healthy fatty tissue that ordinarily protects the eye inside the bony eye socket can begin to move into the lower eyelids, causing them to appear puffy says Day. Fluids may also accumulate, she says.

Thankfully, there's a whole lot topical eye creams can do for puffy eyes. "Look for products that contain ingredients that make skin firmer, including niacin, vitamin C, retinol, caffeine and copper," she says. "They all have skin-firming properties and you want to make skin as firm as possible to counteract the puffiness."

We like L'Oréal Paris RevitaLift Triple Power Eye Treatment, $24.99, which uses caffeine to help reduce under-eye bags and lift the eye area. Then there's the Philosophy Ultimate Miracle Worker Eye Cream, $70, which contains vitamin C and caffeine. It promises to reduce the appearance of puffiness after two weeks use.
