We don't know whether it's dark days that make us feel exhausted, but we feel exhausted and we look exhausted, too.

Waking up fresh-faced and peppy would be nice, rather then frenzied and bleary-eyed. Yet, despite our challenging lifestyles, it's no surprise that many of us end up sporting eyebags of the Ikea type. Hence: eye creams.

Eye puffiness is simply just fluid retention due to lack of sleep, allergies, surplus salt, or last night's four margaritas, which means you're somewhat stuck waiting around until the body metabolises up naturally and drains the fluid alone.

Fortunately there are ingredients that would help accelerate the de-puffing cycle, such as caffeine  and some antioxidants that significantly reduce swelling once you rub them in. But instead of reading each single ingredient label in the drugstore for every product, we selected the five absolute best, most effective eye creams and serums which will reduce those bags down ASAP. Check them out, come on.
