The puffiness you are seeing may be due to symptoms of your seasonal allergies and chronic sinus inflammation. To help combat puffiness while protecting your skin from environmental aggressors, we would recommend looking for a product that contains ingredients like proxylane, blueberry extract, and a combination of peptides and flavonoids. SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Eye Complex contains these ingredients and is formulated to improve the appearance of dark circles, wrinkles, puffiness, and crepey skin. This rich, dry-finish balm immediately boosts eye radiance while visibly improving firmness and elasticity for a more-well rested appearance.

It is never too late to start an anti-aging skincare routine! At SkinCeuticals, we believe the best results are integrated. For this reason, we formulate skincare for maximum efficacy alone, and as a complement to office-based treatments for enhanced outcomes. If you are looking to do an in-office procedure, we recommend consulting with your physician to see if fillers are right for you. Topical eye creams are also a great addition to in-office procedures. We recommend SkinCeuticals Eye Cream. Designed to address early signs of aging, Eye Cream features a unique complex of ingredients to combat loss of firmness, puffiness, sagging skin, and dark circles. Ingredients like hesperidin methyl chalcone, centella asiatica, and ectoin help hydrate delicate skin around the eyes and enhances the feel of skin firmness.
