Step one: "I think the best thing is to use cool, cloth compresses," explains celebrity dermatologist Dr. Harold Lancer. He recommends applying them for about a minute or two and then repeating after about an hour.
Step two: Apply a touch of eye cream with hyaluronic acid in it. Products like Sephora's Age Defy Eye Cream include HydroSenn+, a natural ingredient that immediately delivers hydration and instantly refreshes the under-eye area.

I believe the advice on applying ice works. Think about it, you use cold as an anti-inflammatory so the idea of placing ice on your eyes to depuff is great. And the added hydration is also great. When I wake up my eyes are puffy, I take a shower and let the water hit my face for a few minutes, and the puffyness certainly minimizes. I still need more help so I apply a cream, I personally have been using Kinerase Under Eye Rescue. I have used it for about a year, and I like it. I found it cheap at a beauty site called thebeautyplace and ive seen in for more nice prices in amazon. it doesnt have caffeine though...(i think, sorry if im wrong) but i like it!
Drink at least ten glasses of water vraeydey. Close your eyes and cover eyelids with slices of raw potato or cucumber for 15-20 minutes. Wash with warm water and apply a creamGrate a cucumber, squeeze to take out its juice and refrigerate. Make a mixture of lemon juice, lanolin cream and cucumber juice and apply around the eye for 10-15 minutesApply a paste of turmeric powder with pineapple juice for dark circles under the eyesApply a mixture of lemon and tomato juice (equal parts) on the black circles 2 times a day Dip some cotton in a 1:1 mixture of potato and cucumber juices. Put the cotton on your eyelids and keep for 20 minutes. Wash your eyes with cold water Remove the cream applied around the eye after 10 min. No cream should be left on the skin around the eyes for long periods It could be because of poor blood circulation around the areas and some light massage can help. you can also try:Carrot x 200gApple x 100gPineapple x 50gA bit of HoneyMethod:Put carrot, pineapple and apple in the juicer and juice them. When it’s done, put a bit of honey in to make it tasty.I believe together with regular exercise would certainly help a lot in improving the blood circulation, too more effective

LOL. Okay, for those of us who suffer from puffy eyes on a regular basis, the above information is laughable, as well as missing the crucial step of an eye product that contains CAFFEINE. If the steps above actually worked no company would have created any of the nifty eye rollerball products that contain CAFFEINE.
