Hey lovely ladies! I’ve got a secret to tell you.
This morning I woke up and looked in the mirror. The eyes I saw were extremely puffy. I’d had a late night Netflix binge (because seriously, who can resist just one more episode?) and perhaps a few too many glasses of wine… so it’s really no surprise that my eyes would look the way they did. Problem is… puffy eyes can really put a damper on your day.
So… that got me thinking… every lady needs a bit of extra help sometimes to keep her looking her absolute best. With this in mind, I’ve compiled a list of the three best under eye depuffing serums under $20. I’ve tried all them personally (as well as many many many more)… but these have the been the ones that I’ve found myself going back to.
Anti-Aging Eye Cream for Wrinkles: Lifting and Tightening Under Eye Cream with Retinol & Collagen – Fine Lines Smoothing Treatment, Reduces Dark Circles, Eye Bags & Puffiness In 2 Weeks | 25ml
Brand: Enaskin Naturals
Key Ingredients
Retinol, Vitamin E
4.4/5.0 (31 ratings)
$18.00
What I love most about this eye cream is its applicator tip, which should allow you to apply it directly onto your eye area without even getting your fingers dirty.
Super convenient. It also boasts a creamy consistency, meaning that it will spread easily and dry quickly, leaving you with no messy oil residues (ughh). As it contains retinol, I don’t recommend using it during the summer months or if you’ve got sensitive skin, as some of my friends have reported back that it can be irritating on their sensitive skin.
That said, I’ve personally never had any issues with it and love it because it provides a noticeable depuffing effect almost instantly (make sure to apply it using a massage technique).
Overall, this product is a solid option for anyone looking to add a retinol-based eye cream into their regimen, particularly if you’re already using other serums and treatments in your skincare routine. If you’ve any further questions about this product, please don’t be afraid to ask me in the comments. I’ll always reply to you.
5% Caffeine Eye Cream & Under Eye Serum for Dark Circles and Puffiness Eye Care Eye Roller Serum with 360° Massage Ball Eye Treatment Serum Under Eye Roller Cream for Women Reduce Wrinkles Fine Lines
Key Ingredients
Niacinamide, 5% Caffeine, Hyaluronic Acid

This eye cream is a fantastic! The one thing I love more than an applicator tip is a metal roller ball applicator, which has the added benefit of helping you message the eye serum into the area around your eyes. I also like the cooling effect I feel when using this eye serum (curtesy of the 5% caffeine). The caffeine also means you get a noticeable reduction in morning puffiness and the lightweight formula absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving it feeling moisturized without any greasiness. If you have sensitive skin, I would probably recommend this product over Enaskin Natural. It’s really a great choice for anyone looking for an effective, non-irritating eye cream and can even help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines over time due to it containing hyaluronic acid. Now… that’s what I call a win-win.

This is a really gentle formula that has just the right consistency and texture, allowing it to absorb into the skin easily to give you an instant glow-up and a tightening/depuffing effect.
Some of you guys have also told me that you found it helps with complexion problems and dull or tired skin.
Personally, whenever I’ve used Advanced Clinicals’ Depuffing Under Eye Serum, I’ve not noticed much difference on that front… but what I can say with certainty is that it definitely depuffs your morning eyes. One thing I like a lot about this product is the packaging. It comes in a glass bottle, which I know isn’t the most user-friendly thing in the world (especially if you’ve got children running around the house causing mayhem…), think about the microplastics and how much less microplastics you’ll be exposed to because of the glass packaging. You guys know my feelings about this… whenever glass packaging is an option, I’ll always be partial to that.
And there you have it!
I must have tried over a hundred depuffing serums throughout my life. You guys know me… show me something and I’ll happily give it a try, but these are the ones that have stood out and ones that I feel happy to recommend to you guys, especially as they’re not going to break the bank! In short, they’re excellent value for money.
