You don’t have to spend a lot to see results. Garnier’s significantly lighter anti-puff eye roller is another easy-to-use choice. The dark circles and swellings of this one master, two for one. My mom actually uses this and keeps it in the fridge for even more cooling effects. I say this because the formula is balanced with caffeine, mint and vitamin C, so it feels pretty airy. If you know anything about serum lightening, vitamin C is the cornerstone in these serums. The caffeine will help pull out anything that causes your eyes to puff out as well.

Best for lightening: Tula Rose Glow & Get Eye Balm

I’m a huge Tula fan and I’ve used a different version. I really like the eye balm sticks because they make it very easy to put on and often last a long time. They’re also great for how sensitive eyes can be, especially when they’re sore. Tulas Rose Glow & Get Eye Balm has many of the same ingredients that have been proven to show results and some unique. Rosehip oil, aloe, apple, and watermelon are all plant-based and help moisturize the area while reducing redness. Rose water and blueberries provide antioxidant protection and keep everything soft. Tula designed this with makeup in mind, so layering it isn’t a problem either under or over the head.
