Can an Eye Cream Help with Puffy Eyes?

Puffy eyes can be one of the hardest beauty concerns to treat with a cream. This is because it is more about the health of the skin structure, as opposed to surface aesthetics. A good eye cream like our Nakin Eye Cream Complex can help, but the results will be subtle.

Our Eye Cream Complex is designed to stimulate and energise the eye area, and this does help with puffing. This comes from the caffeine, green tea, hyaluronic acid, seaweed and algae in the formula. However, it is a natural product and so the results will vary from person to person, and they will be subtle. It also helps with smoothing out lines in the area, plus darkness. One of its benefits is that it is kind to skin, and so many customers with sensitive eyes love to use it.

What Causes Puffy Eyes?

Many of us will experience puffy eyes in some shape or another, and it can come from different reasons.

The Role of Fluid Retention

Puffiness around the eyes is often caused by fluid retention in the delicate tissues surrounding our eyes. This can happen due to various reasons, such as consuming too much salt, not getting enough sleep, or even allergies. When fluid accumulates around the eyes, it can make them look swollen and puffy.

The Impact of Ageing

As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and becomes thinner, which can contribute to puffiness around the eyes. Additionally, the muscles supporting our eyelids may weaken, causing the skin to sag and create bags under the eyes. This is a natural part of ageing and can be exacerbated by lifestyle factors such as smoking or excessive sun exposure.

Lifestyle Factors

Our daily habits can also play a role in causing puffy eyes. Excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, and not getting enough sleep can all contribute to fluid build-up and puffiness.

Can Eye Creams Help with Puffiness?

The short answer is yes, eye creams can help with puffiness. However, there are a lot of limits to this. Using eye care like ours with the right ingredients helps, but it is not a one-stop shop.

What Ingredients to Look For

When shopping for an eye cream targeting puffiness, look for these key ingredients. We use them all in our Eye Cream Complex because they have so many reviving properties for the skin. At Nakin we always recommend using natural skincare as we believe that this works best with our skin. It is kind and nourishing, without the irritating effects that synthetic skincare can cause.

Caffeine: This ingredient helps to constrict blood vessels and reduce swelling around the eyes.

Hyaluronic acid: Known for its hydrating properties, hyaluronic acid can help with dehydration-induced puffiness.

Marine extracts: These have rejuvenating properties as well as anti-inflammatory effects, making them a great ingredient for helping to reducing puffing.
