I would not recommend using Preparation H for puffy eyes. As mentioned by another respondent, it will cause extreme burning and irritation of the delicate eye tissue and truthfully will not bring you the results you are looking for. You should instead use slightly cool compresses around your eye tissue and increase your water intake. Also, avoid excess alcohol as this will intensify eye puffiness. The skin around the eye is very thin and sensitive, unlike the other area Prep H is used for.

And yet I still read these tips recommending it for puffy eyes. Don’t do it. I would suggest caution when using anything topical around the eye area.

I think using systemic treatments, such as drinking water and reducing salt intake, is a better idea. Or get a wedge shaped pillow and sleep with your head elevated. And see your doctor if it persists.

Thanks,
