If it's puffy because of allergy, then you can use antihistamines like benadryl.
If it's puffy and red -- then you can use ibuprofen or aspirin (tylenol won't work) because they have anti-inflammation effect. Make sure to have something in stomach prior to taking those meds because they tend to cause stomach upset.
Another trick I learned for just plain puffiness of eyes -- hemorroid cream. Sounds disgusting but works so well. I read this tip on fashion magazines like Glamour and Cosmo so many times also. Ooh, maybe to soothe your skin while easing down the puffiness, you can put that hemorroid cream in the refrigerator for a couple of minutes prior to applying.

Well the first thing you want to do is remove the source of the allergy. No more proactiv :( The puffiness will subside gradually, it shouldn't take more than a day. Try taking an anti-histamine, it will supress your immune system enough for your body to get back to normal. If you are experiencing a severe allergy to this product, see a dermatoligist. :-)

First of all, stop using a product as soon as you develope an allergic reaction. Try an antihistamine. If you don't want to try meds just yet a slice of cucumber fixes my puffy eye problems.

First, are you massaging your eyes section too complicated? whether it is, does it make your eyes watery? I had this journey that as quickly as I rubdown cream around my eyes section, it particularly is going to likely be drained and watery, eg : tears popping out from my eyes. it particularly is a classic reaction whilst your eyes are too drained i assume. and ought to this reason your eyes to be swollen the following day such as you stated as in case you have cried final night? next, attempt to no longer placed too plenty cream on it. gently dap with ur ring finger and notice if it happens lower back. If it does, danger is, you're allergic to it. could attempt to adjust to eye gel somewhat.
