Preparation H

[lainiej]

Has anyone tried using Preparation H for under eye bags? I cant seem to find anything that will tighten mine up. Any other suggestions would be great. Thanx

No idea about the Preparation H, but I can recommend another product.

I don't know where you're located, but here in the US there is a product called Vita-K. It is amazing. It tightens the skin, moisturizes, and evens out skin tone, lightening the under-eye dark rings. I use it every day.

You can also try tea bags - wet them and place under the eyes for a few minutes. They help drain out the excess fluid, but the Vita-K is definitely better.

There are lots of products that 'tighten' under eye bags - I have tried them - they make the skin feel very tight but very dry at the same time, and you can't wear foundation over these products, it just won't blend. And you just wash it off at the end of the day and your eyes are as baggy as ever. Aka estie - is Vita-K like this, or can you use make up with it?

By the way isn't Preparation H for hemorrhoids ?

I recommended Preparation H on this thread: Here

My friend always uses Hemorrhoid cream on her blemishes, swears by it, to keep them down short term.

judiewudie - I don't wear a lot of foundation, but I have never had trouble blending concealer into the Vita-K. It is just like moisturizer :)
