Caffeine eye cream for puffiness and mild dark-circle help; YMMV.

What the community says

A lightweight eye cream with 0.3% caffeine plus glycerin, squalane, and hyaluronic acid. People reach for it on morning puffiness and sleep-deprived shadows; genetic circles and dry under-eyes usually need more than this.
