    I generally recommend putting eye cream in the fridge. It won't always make it last longer, but when you apply it the cream will have this cool, refreshing feeling. Since the cold can help reduce puffiness, it's sort of an easy way to improve the efficacy of the product.

    On cosmetic boxes, there is normally a little number somewhere on it (usually 12, 24, or 48). That number is how many months the product should be good for. So, if you see a little 24, it means the cream will be good for 2 years!

    Yes young people can get eye puffiness — it can happen at any age. This is usually due to a lack of sleep. You can treat it with creams and other home remedies, like putting cucumber slices on your eyes.
