Cream & Eye Patches for Under-Eye Bags

What a cream for under-eye bags can do

The tissue beneath the eyes is particularly loose and thin. Several factors can cause fluid to collect there overnight:

• Lack of sleep and stress: the eye area looks swollen and tired.
• Salt, alcohol and heat: promote water retention in the tissue.
• Hormonal fluctuations: can increase puffiness, for example before menstruation.
• Loss of firmness: over the years, the tissue becomes softer and puffiness is more visible.

A good cream for under-eye bags stimulates drainage, provides moisture and visibly firms the skin. Firming actives also work over the long term. You will find all causes and tips in our guide What helps against under-eye bags?

The key actives against puffy eyes

• Caffeine: stimulates microcirculation and visibly reduces puffiness. Contained in the EyeLift Cream and the Awake & Lift Eye Patches.
• Beautifeye: an active complex designed specifically for the eye area that visibly reduces puffiness and shadows.
• Peptides: Cyclopeptide-5 and Syn-Hycan in the CytoLine Eyecare Firming Concentrate support a firmer contour.
• Liftonin-Xpress: visibly tightens the eye area within minutes, for example in the Awake & Lift Eye Patches.
• Hyaluronic acid: binds moisture and visibly plumps the delicate skin.

Frequently asked questions about creams for under-eye bags

• What helps quickly against under-eye bags?
  Eye patches with caffeine visibly reduce puffy eyes in a short time. The Awake & Lift Eye Patches work in around 15 minutes and are ideal for the morning.
• Can a cream remove under-eye bags permanently?
  Puffiness caused by fluid can be visibly reduced with the right care. If under-eye bags are caused by fatty tissue or a slackened eyelid structure, no cream can remove them. In this case, dermatological or aesthetic advice can help.
• How often should I use eye patches for under-eye bags?
  As needed, for example in the morning after a short night. For daily care, combine the patches with an eye cream or a concentrate.
• Does a cream for under-eye bags also help with dark circles?
  Partly. Caffeine and Beautifeye also reduce shadows under the eyes. For targeted care against dark circles, choose our eye cream for dark circles.
