It is soothing but: will not get rid of the bags under your eyes, or improve puffy eyelids much. It will feel good though. Change diet, or use tea bags instead that has tannic acid is more of an astringent than cucumbers are. Cucumbers are more moisturizing.
Created for people with ongoing healthcare needs but benefits everyone.
