Bags under your eyes Preparation H

Submitted by Don

All you need is a dab of preparation H, carefully rubbed into the skin, avoiding the eyes. The hemorrhoid ointment acts as a vasoconstrictor, relieving the swelling instantly.

doesnt work Comments By: kim

I have tried this many times can never tell any differance

Doesn't work Comments By: Dana

Didn't work at all - caused skin to swell around eyes - the eye area is too sensitive for this cream

signifigant improvement Comments By: anon

have used prepH under my eyes for almost a week now,with great results,using it in cream form which may allow it to absorb better than ointment,applying twice daily(washing with astrigent between applications )wont go away overnight so be patient,took it longer to get there

Has worked for me but not always Comments By: Jeannie

I did see a significant improvement the first time I tried it overnight, but it let me down the second time. I was up late last night and am giving it another shot; they say the third time's a charm. ;)

Preparation H is not safe Comments By: Anon

Preparation H is not safe for repeated use on facial skin.

It works Comments By: Jo

I was plagued with the wonderful dark bags under my eyes passed down to my by my grandma who knew this was the gift she would give me, however on that note the Prep H has helped mine and Ill tell you I have not had one problem I noticed a diffrence in one day however I do use the ointment and just use very little before applying my powder foundation if you let it set for about 5 minutes before applying your powder it does not give a greasy look also I clean my face with Proactive before bed between the two my skin Look wonderful

eyes Comments By: Angela

well im 15yrs old and im going to try this thing because my right eye is just so dark and puffy it looks like if a bee sting it or something,and i dont know what else to do so thats why i will try it and write back in abouta week to share my results.

This stuff SUCKS! Comments By: Angela

well it hasn't even been a week but i have been putting this stuuf on for 5 days and my eyes get worser and horrible.I tried something else and it works but preparation H does not work at all.

Angela, Comments By: Karen

I was surprised to see major results after a few hours. But where do the bags go? I experienced a sinus headache, so there's a clue. Also, the cause of bagginess under the eyes may be a clue, too. If sleep deprivation (for Angela - that means not enough sleep)is the cause, then getting more sleep might help with positive results. There is no such word as "worser." It's simply "worse".

Nice going Karen Comments By: RoadRunningVixen

Way to go picking on a 15 year old, Karen.
I wont' try this because it sounds dumb.

Preparation H on face works! Comments By: Liz

I used the gel form morning and night. After the second application, i could see a significant improvement. The two deep lines inbetween my eyebrows, were not a deep, and the skin felt a little tighter. I will keep using.

Didn't work for me Comments By: Rachel

Prep H is a vasoconstrictor similar to a cold compress or nicotine, and it should work immediately. If it doesn't work for you within a few moments after applying, it probably won't. Not sure about the girls who are seeing results after several days, but it simply doesn't work for me. Plus the smell is awful. I have found that Neutrogena makes a Healthy Skin anti-wrinkle cream with Retinol that seems to help me with swollen eyes. It's inexpensive too and lasts forever. Karen, THX for the grammar lesson. I should point out this is not a book club but rather an edu tool for looking more like Barbie.

does work a bit Comments By: Anon

I tried Prep H with Bio-dyne for about 2 weeks. I immediately noticed less wrinkles and smoother skin on my face. As for puffiness around the eyes - not much noticeable change. I will use it for a couple months and then quit if the results are not better. It smell awful !

Preparation H Comments By: B

I have only used this one time and my UGLY dark circles are so gone.

Absolutely Works Comments By: bunny

I have multiple allergies, my eyes are always puffy with dark circles when I wake up. The prep H, gel works great in reducing the puffiness, you can feel it tightening when it drys. And The gel does not Spread into the eye as a cream would, it stays where you put it, however, is a bit drying so - after it drys you can put your regular eye cream over it. I have tried everything. I also use sudden change eye cream on a regular basis -it is a good eye cream for this problem and no animal testing.

i am trying it out right now. AH Comments By: b

ok i just bought some prep H today because my friend told me it gets rid of bags...i have never had such horrible bags in my life. i'm 18 and really want them to go away. anyways i put it on at first and it burned like crazy (but i put a whole bunch of it on) so i washed it off...and i only put a tiny bit this time. it doesn't burn that much! but i really hope this works.

Preperation H with Bio-dyne Comments By: JBS

You have to buy the Canadian preperation H because its the bio-dyne that does the trick. USA preperation H does not contain bio-dyne. So give that a try and see...

quintescence eye serum Comments By: paula

The best for dark circles, use a small amount with wet skin.
I found it on the internet and is great

a Comments By: S

the american version will just burn your eyes. you need the canadian version

Facial version Comments By: Terry

Mary, You say you found that wrinkle cream on Ebay? Is the name you posted the actual product name?

Also, where does one get the canadian version?

Why are kids playing on this site? This is supposed to be for serious comments, right?

DO NOT USE THIS STUFF ON YOUR FACE! Comments By: Anon

I spoke with my doctor about bags under my eyes during my last physical. Do not put this crap under your eyes. The skin is fairly thin under there and prepH is way too harsh for such a sensitive area.

WOW! Comments By: Tina

I tried it today for the first time! Within minutes my puffiness was gone, and lasted all day! Did not do much for the wrinkles and crows feet around my eyes though. But getting rid of the puffiness is quite fine with me.

It doesn't work Comments By: Anon

I kept hearing about this, so thought I'd try it. It only irritated my eyes! They had large, red shinny bags instead of small ones. Don't try it!

YES, SAFE TO USE ON YOUR FACE! Comments By: Erica

If you are referring to the original preparation H cream with BIODYNE (not available in the USA, but from Canada) this stuff is incredible for bags under the eyes as well as facial wrinkles. Women have been using it as a wrinkle cream for decades with excellent results. Do some research online. . . It is absolutely fascinating!

ther are more positive comments, because it does WORK! Comments By: Alice

I have used this product on my face since this monday, today is thursday, My face has not felt so smooth in si many years, and my complexion looks so much clearer, my scars from pimples are less noticable or they actually seem to be disappearing, I didn't expect that to happen, but it is happening, and I generally have oily skin, so I normally have to powder my face by lunch time, but this week my face hasn't needed to be powdered till way later, (and barely), I didn't expect this either. I'm loving it. My husband introduced me to it first, he read about it first and tried it, his face looks and feels like baby soft, smooth skin, I AM SO SERIOUS! So I tried it, I advise everyone to at least try it.

It WORKS GREAT Comments By: kit

Notice that the only people on here deriding the product use ANON as their name. It's just one person trying to be a know it all....

It works GREAT. Supermodels have used it for years. And for the people that say that the tissue under your eyes is too sensitive---trying realizing where it's MEANT to go---that area is WAY more sensitive than your face, for god's sake.

you need the right one Comments By: tracy

Yeast cell extract 1% w/w, Shark liver oil 3% w/w the yeast extract along with the shark liver oil settles the wrinkles down and leaves your skin under the eye stretched like botox i have been using this for a number off years i am now fourty five but i am told i look 29 so i have been 29 since i used this also make sure you remove all make up from the eyes as this causes mico mites to attack the eyes while you sleep

Preparation H Ointment 25g not the gel

cheers

Let's be a little scientific! Comments By: 51 yrs. young

First, you must use Canadian Product. FDA got after mftr when found US women usiing on face. Said they must spend $$$$ to retest for new application. Mfr said OK, we'll just change US product.

Second, the tissue of certain lower aspects of your body are very very sensitive. Certainly, just as sensitive as the area around your eyes, if not more so. Remember, suppositories are absorbed basically through the same tissue as, ahem, down there. Certainly the skin around eyes is more rugged than that. It does work for me, it is only a daily temp fix. When the effect of the yeast ingredient is spent, well your body will return to where it was before application. Surgery is the only true fix for bags.

IT DOSENT WORK!!!!!!!!!! Comments By: KAYLEIGH

THIS SUCKS. PREPARATION H DOSENT WORK I TRIED IT LIKE A BILLION TIMES AND NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES IT DOES WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Comments By: TRACY

I AM 44 YRS OLD AND HAVE BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE HOSPITAL ALOT AND I HAVE HAD "TIRED LOOK ON MY FACE" FOR SOMETIME NOW ONE OF MY FRIENDS TOLD ME ABOUT THIS I TIRED IT AND YES !!!! IT DOES WORK. AND IT WORKS VERY WELL MAY I SAY. IT HAS PERKED MY FACE UP AND IT MAKES ME LOOK YRS YOUNGER. SO DONT KNOCK IT TILL YOU TRY IT.

I'm a 28 year old guy... Comments By: D

I have puffy eyes, will this also work for me?? I look 40? HELP?!

It works! It works! IT WORKS!! Comments By: candiE

At first I was skeptical with this idea.. but after hmmm lets say an hour over the net searching about prep H, i figured i'd give it a try..

My eye history: I've had baggy eyes since I was about 15, atleast when I started getting those teen image self-consciousness! Anyway, I've tried so many products in market including the ones that costs fortunes! I'm now 22, I know, I'm only 22 but I was still in market searching for the best one that would cure my undereye problem.

Straight to the point: It does work! It reduced my eye puffiness significantly that I would have to consider it a miracle! No it does not sting or burn or any of that unpleasant feeling. However, they do stink but manageable considering the effect it had on my undereye!

It has been said in this forum that you have to use the Canadian version.. I'll say it again USE THE CANADIAN VERSION! Order it online if you must or else you'll be burning your eyes!

The US version changed their product contents and do not contain Bio-dyne anymore...and thats the ingredient we're going after! So there you go!

Another tip: There's many types you can buy in the counter--Ointment, Cream, and some other ones with other added contents! I suggest you buy the OINTMENT because they stay longer in your skin and it has a lot of moisture so it wont dry out your skin!! So there.! I HOPE THIS HELPS ^_^

It works for me Comments By: Blanca

I have tried this 4 times and it has worked for me, not as good as surgery but the bags do go away if only for a day.

Canadian Prep H Comments By: Maria

I read about this in, of all things, one of the Uncle John's Bathroom Reader books. Since the fairly expensive eye cream I had been using wasn't working all that well, I decided to give it a try. It works really well for me as far as toning the skin. It's not as good at fading the dark circles though. As an eye cream it's good but it's even better at fading scars.

The active ingredients are shark oil and yeast.

Undoubtedly will work. Comments By: Anon

Using preparation H ointment is identical to a fast-paced method that ultimately reduces swelling when using other techniques via vasoconstriction. It is By FAR the quickest, most effective and least costly way to almost immediately reduce swelling and conceal blackness.

Use infitessimal amounts; the key is almost entirely adhesion, not amount. If you see any noticeable sheen, you are using too much. 1/2 an mL for the area under each eye: Do NOT let the ointment come in contact with your eyelid: It is an irritant. But so is mascara.

Didn't work for me! Comments By: Raluca

I have noticed puffy eyes (under eyes) after i gave birth 4 months ago. Since then i have tried everything with no succes. I've heard about preparation H with biodyne so i ordered it online from Canada. I've tried it 5 nights in a row and it didn't make any difference:( I will give it another try though since so many people are seing results.

prep h canada Comments By: rob ross

the preparation h sold in united states does not have biodyne in it. you have to buy it from up in canada

try this Comments By: todo

Try Iron pills, Dark rings under your eyes could be lack of iron... run to your local pharmacy and get iron pills, regular vitiams and you don't need to put ass cream on your face.

Prep H & Eyes Comments By: Lyn Ashurst

Fortunately I live in Canada so can get the product with Bio-dyne. will someone tell me how often and when to use this. Should I get a cream version or ointment.

plucked up the currage to buy arse ointment Comments By: "L"

iv been desperate to get rid of these unsightly bags for years now, but scared to purchse bum ointment for my under eyes, gonna give it a go , see what happens and let u know. wish me luck!!

Worked with just one use Comments By: Tanja

Under eye puffiness runs in my family. I tried Prep H for the first time last night and i can really see a difference. So it may not work for everybody it worked for me. Keep in mind we all have different genetic factors, why do you think there are so many different skin care products out there.

confused about which prep h to use Comments By: Meg

Ok, so I know the Canadian version of Prep H is the best way to go. If I can't get my hands on that which version is the best -- the ointment, cream, or gel? I purchased the ointment without knowing that there are different options.
I'm actually using this to reduce redness on a zit (so embarassing) in addition to help my under-eye circles.
Please let me know what you think is best -- should I stick with the ointment?I don't want to break out more.
Thanks!

tryin Prep. H for the first time. Comments By: Dixie

Iam 36 yrs old & do live in Canada. I have recently heard of using Prep.H for helping apperance. About 4 yrs ago. . being drunk and dumb. . got into a fight in a bar and got a nice blk eye out of it. Since then the eye that was injured has been puffy while the other has stayed the same. I started using Prep.H Cream last night. I am going to apply it 2x a day and see what happens. . . let you know results in a week. . .
Has anybody else used it to treat damage from blk eyes before?

Yeap, you have to be faithful to it!!! Comments By: Ricky

This is to the response of Prep H. I must say, everyone likes a compliment and everyone wants to feel attractive, especially to the one or many of ones that a person is involved with. I am a male, don't know about that metro-sexual thing, but my parents' and family members have always took pride and ownership in the way they look, especially in Chicago where we are from. At age 27, (Feb. 1995), I visited a friend of a friend in Missouri and she was 64 years old then and very very attractive. I asked her, "Ardelia, what do you use on your skin?" She said, Prep H. I laughed. She said, try it. To this day, 14 years later, I haven't stopped. I will be 41 on Dec 24 and I still look 27. The stuff works. Since the original isn't sold in the USA, there is a store in the USA called Family Dollar and it's the Family Dollar version of Prep H (and it has shark oil). In addition, I stopped using soap on my face and only use apple cider vinegar to wash my face and for my body, virgin light olive oil. I'm Ageless and I look forward to getting older, too. My mother and father still look like they are in their 40's (and they are both 67) and both use PrepH, too. You have to be faithful to the product and especially to yourself. Thank God for PrepH and if they make a PrepI through Z, I'm buying, too.

Cosmetic Surgeon Recommended Comments By: Dave

I was chatting with a New York cosmetic surgeon, and she recommended prep H & reducing the amount of salt I take in. I am going to give it a try.

Prep H Cream and Chemical burns Comments By: PrepHCanada

I learned the hard way that this product can produce a very nasty side effect. I'd used it many time before with no real problems. I haven't changed my skin routines/products. So I'm guessing my skin was just "extra sensitive" one day. I was left with chemical burns on both eyes. Needless to say that I will never use the cream version on my eyes EVER again. And I warn others that you can use this product, but there's always that chance that one random day out of the blue, the product could burn your skin too and you could end up being a sucker like me looking absolutely hideous, and actually end up damaging the skin around your eyes that you're ironically trying to "treat" with this cream. Anyways, just a warning, or something else to consider when using Prep-H cream.

worked for me - canadian formula Comments By: T

It worked for me - wrinkles much less pronounced. still a little puffy but so much better after one day

can you use it on all your face Comments By: DaveG

I notice alot of people are saying its great for wrinkles as well as for eye bags but does that mean that you can rub it in anywhere on your face and it will be ok? I have just brought the canadian version on e bay and will be giving it a try tonight so fingers crossed :o) Please reply if you have an answer to my question thanks.

IS THIS JUST FOR PUFFINESS OR DARK CIRCLES TOO? Comments By: alexa

i see many people say that is clears puffiness...BUT does it help with dark circles at all?

It does work...but you need the canadian prep-h Comments By: The Brunette Threat

It does work I have used this since I was 15 and I am 35 now and no wrinkles. The american version does not contain bio-dyne (the active ingredient) So that's why it does not work. And for the moron who said their Dr. said it's too harsh for the face, one would think (if given the brain to do so) that the anal skin is muuuuch more thin and sensitive than the facial skin! The "dr." is wrong.
Just use the canadian version and avoid the eye area and you'll be fine. THe American version may cause the skin to burn but i have no idea since I don't use that trash!

??? Comments By: sdfghj

I'm 17 and I've been wearing heavy concealer for years already & when I applied it I used a make-up sponge that stretched my skin.. I have wrinkles under my eyes!!

Would this work?

IT WORKS!!!!!! Comments By: Tracey

Preperation H ointment applied to your under eyes after a shower really works wait at least 5 minutes before appling makeup. I have spent lots of $$$ on creams that do not work. I relly get no sleep. I have a 4 four kids 11,2,1 year(s)old and a 5 month old. Plus work a 40+ hour a week job. Not getting much sleep. Preperation h ointment has made my under eyes a lot firmer.

IT WORKS! Comments By: Linda of Houston

Not only does Prep H work to reduce puffines and wrinkles, it also works to heal burns and injuries. A few years ago, I had second degree burns to my hand, along with cuts. A doctor friend suggested Prep H (had biodyne in the formula at the time). The burns and wounds healed after a couple of weeks and there was absolutely no scarring--not from the burns or the cuts. It was the shark oil in the Prep H that did the healing. I now purchase my Canadian version of Prep H through Amazon.com.

Has anyone used alum? Comments By: BagsinSC

I was told that you can mix a little alum in with some moisturizer, and that will reduce eye bags. Has anyone ever done this?

May or may not work Comments By: Don B.

Undereye puffiness is characterized by red swollen skin under the eyes and is usually due to one of these causes: bloating, dehydration, fatigue, allergies, hormones, or genetics. Because the roots of these causes are so varied, it is hard to say which physiological mechanism is behind the puffiness appearance, and therefore not all treatments will work equally well; however, since the redness is due to increased blood flow to the area a treatment aimed at restricting blood vessels should provide some temporary relief. The swelling however, may be for a variety reasons and the treatment for that is not as straightforward.

works for genetic puffiness Comments By: Christine

My puffy bags under my eyes are from genetics...I was on my way to surgery until I tried this. I can't believe I never tried Prep H before! It works great and many people have noticed a difference...I use the US version (ointment) FYI this ointment doesn't fix the problem, but is the best way to hide it.

Giving it a try Comments By: Megan

Well, I read all the comments on this topic and there were way more good results than bad results so im trying it tonight. I too got my bags passed down from my grandmother. I'm pretty young by the way so i know they're not here because of my age.Really hope this works. I hate the bags under my eyes.

Confused! Comments By: xy

Hi, I have been in death of searching to a product that will at least help lessen my dark circles and eyebags. Is the canadian PrepH really works?

PrepH Suppositories Comments By: BBQueen

ok as im typing this ive dabbed a wee bit of prepH suppositories (theyre my moms, not mine!! LOL) that ive melted by putting in a little ziplock bag and emersing it a cup of warm water. surprisingly, it didnt stink as much as i thought it would, and looking at my bags every 5 mins or so, it appears that my bags arent as deep and dark! ive decided its not as dark coz this stuff is really shiny and light is just reflecting off it, but they dont look as deep and saggy now... im going to bed now and will comment in here again in the morning to let you guys know. i just hope i dont wake up with my bags inside out!! well, thank god its a holiday tomorrow! happy labour day everyone! =)

BioDynes in other products - sort of working for me. Comments By: T

First - it's really obvious that the posts with links are a company trying to sell products. Please stop. No one believes those a comments from a real person anyway.

I've been using another skin product with biodynes and it's sort of working (5 days later). I get plenty of sleep so my dark circles are the genetic kind that have been around for 35 years. So, I didn't expect it to work right away. Although I can still see some of the darkness, it had faded about 50%. I'm sure no one notices but me because I wear concealer (who wouldn't with these circle) but honestly, that's good enough to make me happy because when the concealer wears off at the end of the day, at least people won't assume I'm worn out when I'm not.

IT WORKED Comments By: Ree

I used the regular prep just a little tiny bit under my eyes and it worked wonderful. Worked for a friend of mine and my Mom too!!!

Doesn't seem to work Comments By: Thoehn

My under eye bags are a hereditary gift from my dad and I've tried a lot of things short of cosmetic surgery to get rid of them, this being my last straw. I noticed no results whatsoever. Perhaps those who saw the most results experienced puffiness from allergies/sleep deprivation, etc. and not genes. Also, for those who say their grandmothers used to swear by it, take a look at the old and new formulas. The old formula used live yeast cell while the new uses phenylephrine. Maybe there's a marked difference there...

everyone is different Comments By: lillie

it doesn't work for everyone.

When and how often? Comments By: joy

No one here has said when or how often to use this. Do you put it on before bed every night only, or do you put it on before make up in the morning? Or do you do both? Do you rub it in so you can't see it anymore or do you let a bit stay on skin to absorb. Maybe the people that it isn't working for and not doing it the right way?

WILL the english version work ? Comments By: ben

i went out and got some of the ointment version of prep H and have not used it yet, should i give it a try even though its not the Canadian one ? HELP

Angela and preparation H Comments By: sinead

Angela picking on a fifteen year old you must only be jealous
We can all understand why you have bags and the most common reason and explanation would have to be that you are a bag! you should try a case of dried up old prunes!!! and leave the grammer to someone else

Savior of my eye circles! Comments By: Janice

I've tried the ointment version for 2 years now at the undereye area and it truly transformed those dark hideous circles to the faintest shade. I've had my eye circles since 12 and not even the most powerful concealers like Bobbi Brown or MAC can cover them perfectly so I always wear glasses to hide them. The american version won't ever work because of the missing Biodyne ingredient, so our american neighbours should grab some when they come up north. I'm going to try applying it to other areas of my face as I hear it helps remove wrinkles too.

how to use it? Comments By: Mal

can you describe how to use it?? directly under eye or on the bone?? how often? is it safe to use it everyday? is it true to wait at least half an hour before applying make up? all responses much appreciated:)

how to use it? Comments By: Mal

Meg, Reducing Redness of a Zit Comments By: Karen

Meg, use Visine to reduce redness of a zit. It works great.

Also, want to say that Prep H has worked for me in the past to reduce bagginess under eyes when I've not gotten enough sleep.

giving it a try Comments By: Rachel

im 15 & i have little resemblence of bags under my eye. it isnt extremely bad bags, but just a little puff has surfaced. i heard prep H is excellent for it. & im desperately trying to find an answer. im doing better on cathing up on some loss sleep, but on top of that im going to give prep H a try. based on these comments, i can tell its pretty 50/50. for some, it works. for some, it doesnt. i hope it does for mee !

I haven't tried it yet Comments By: Kelly

I have occasional bags under my eyes, but also have wrinkles. I'm 32 and notice they get worse with age. It's hard to get a good night's sleep EVERY single night. Especially when you work during the week and weekends. I'm looking for something that will help on the days I can't get enough rest. Hope this works!

does preparation h works to lose fat cell Comments By: tmoney

does preparation h works to lose fat cell

PrepH Works!! Comments By: Luna

I have really bad bags under my eyes. I have a stressful life. My friend Katie told me about it. She came up to me and told me to try it. Well I of course bought everything on the selve. The ointment works best and yea the american one works just as well as the canadian one

Way to go Angela! Comments By: ed

What's with the "picking on a kid" thing?? Correcting someone with bad grammar is the only way they will learn, and really, at 15, if someone doesn't know that "worser" is not a real word then they really are not too bright!

PREP H Comments By: ANON

It not only good for baggy eyes its also excellent for healing cuts and I found it excellent for ,if you have toe fungus ,Itried everything but in between my toes just drove crazy(and i shower every day)it worked in just two days .

Main ingredient is the same as nasal spray Comments By: Glenn

Nothing can substitute proper rest and diet. The main ingredient in Preparation H shrinks blood vessels by constricting them. Same as nasal spray. Try using an ice pack. Same concept.

wow Comments By: Toni Minder

I'm going to try the u.s. version, since it's the first kind i bought. active ingredients:
Glycerin UPS 14.4%
Phenylephrine HCI UPS 0.25%
Pramoxine HCI UPS 1%
White petrolatum UPS 15%

since i don't really know anything about them, i can't really tell if this us version is bad. I just know that it isn't shark stuff.

And for those of you who says it works for you, how about you actually help people out and tell us where, when, for how long and how much you apply it! Also is it ok to put other places on your face beside just under your eyes? I think you you have got to be incredibly stupid to post something without giving all the details of your experience, and expect others to take your advise. Someone please help me out and explain how, where, when, and how much you use. I will get back to you on my go at it, and let you know how the u.s. version works for me.

Prep H Canadian Brand Comments By: Charlie

Where do I find the Canadian brand in the US

OMG Ladies!! This is the ultimate Miracle Comments By: PrepH Groupie

I tried this over the weekend. 10 minutes..saw a bit of a difference, 20 minutes was very pleased. the next day? OMG this stuff is AMAZING! For those of you buying PrepH online,(Canadian version) at $25 a tube....little tip. You are being robbed. I got it at Walmart here in Canada for $7.00.

Help Comments By: EJ

I have just bought the gel as i couldn't find the ointment. Will it work?? I'm too scared to put it on. I suffer with terrible puffiness under my eyes - it looks like i haven't slept in weeks!!

Preparation H...ointment or cream? Comments By: Ann

I bought the Canadian Prep H. Which works better, ointment or cream? I bought one of each

Prep H suppositories Comments By: Marma

I tried the suppositories last night. Thought it might be a good way to apply it (like makeup) ;-) It kinda felt "fresh" for a while. Didn't see anything immediately, and when i woke up, didn't see anything amazing.
I guess I'll go to ebay and buy some of the Canadian version and give it a try. (it'd be nice to see "Canadian" sellers selling it though.) But I like purchasing from Ebay because the sellers are very quick to ship. They charge twice the price (i hear it's 7 bucks in Canada) but who cares compares to 100 for Strivectin, Un-wrinkle and all that other stuff I've purchased.

Works for me Comments By: K.

It works for me, reduces the puffiness on the eyes, and actually lasts for 2 days for me.

Try it on your butt! Comments By: Kip

I know this stuff is for eyes, however, I tried it on my butthole and it actually worked there as well! I`m so happy I found an eye cream that got rid of my roids too!!!

OMFG it totally works!!!! Comments By: ripsaa

Im 47 yr old male and look young to begin with but always had dark circles and bags under my eyes (heriditary) so went to amazon and ordered the Canadian Prep H with bio dyne and put some at night before bed and 4 days later 90% of the bags are gone people say you look good/different etc. Remember you have to use the Canadian version the U.S version will not work cause it has no bio dyne

Does it work for Dark circles under you eyes? Comments By: Olga

Im 18 and i have ALWAYS had dark circles under my eyes, I always have to put foundation under my eyes. I look like I have raccoons eyes or something. I have been using Biocutis eye contour for a bit now. I have been told by my roommate to try this. I dont want to go blind or anything so im doing my research, and was just wondering how many people have used this, and it worked for them to get rid of the dark circles?

Where to buy in the states. Comments By: Liz

I tried the Family Dollar Store for the store brand of Preparation H that has Shark's oil that was recommended on this page. They didn't have anything with Shark's Oil in it, but I went down the street to a Dollar General store and they DID have some. It was only $3. I am going to try it. I had a severe head injury this winter and when the swelling went down it gave me a huge shiner. It has been a month and I still have a dark circle in the corner of my eye and around the bottom of my eye. I am hoping this works. I've tried a lot of things but am ready to see the dermatologist.

I TRIED BOTH american an Canadian Comments By: Tatiana

Both PREP H works... american ointment has shark oil has many benefits under the eyes and your face will look much better. Reduce your belly if you put some plastic while in the gym ( you will sweat like never before!)

Canadian with Bio -dyne is great with wrinkles and you will look much younger.

I agree with Ed and Angela!! if you make a mistake is GREAT if another person corrects you ...so you will learn and next time you will do it the right way. I am thankful when someone corrects me so I can learn!

ABSOLUTLY AMAZING!!! Comments By: TB

I have the worst bags under my eyes every morning. So i did a little research and decided to try Preperation H. But instead i decided to try Equates hemorrhoidal cream. Before i went to bed i used a very tiny amount under each eye. And within seconds i could tell a difference! I would recommend to anyone with bags.

KIDNEY PROBLEMS Comments By: Sarah marie

Ive had pretty bad bags under my eyes since I was a wee gal. Upon doing more research I have found to really attack it you need to get to the kidneys. I have come across this stuff that is quite recommended in the homeopathic world. Its called Dr.grossmens herbal eyetone formula.

It Works for me Comments By: lvgal

I have allergies and wake up every morning to red, swollen, puffy eyes. Given that Prep H is a FRACTION of the cost as cosmetic-eye creams, I decided to try it and it does work for me. I put a LITTLE on before bedtime and notice a difference in the morning.

PREPARATION H 'DOES' WORK!!! Comments By: Carol

I have been wearing glasses to hide my eye bags. I am 46 years old and they seemed to appear overnight. I have been back and forth to my doctor and I was told that I was just at 'THAT' age. He did suggest surgery if they bothered me that much. I read 'EVERYTHING' I could find on the Internet to get rid of my bags. I did order the Canadian Prep H on eBay and it did 'NOT' work. I emailed the seller and they shipped me another order 'FREE' that contained the shark oil. AND IT DID 'NOT' WORK!!! I emailed them again and was told it does 'NOT' work for everyone. So I thought I would try the Family Dollar brand somebody wrote it worked for them. I purchased the ointment and not the cream. It is greasy and messy. BUT IT WORKED!!! I wore it for about '2' hours and wiped it off. I SAW RESULTS IMMEDIATELY!!! My advise to everyone is to try 'EVERYTHING' until you find what works for you!!! GOOD LUCK!!!

Preperation H doesnt work. Comments By: Kaela L.

It doesn't work because it was reformulated, leaving the ingredient that reduced puffiness out of it. It DID used to work, but not anymore.

Prerpatation H under the eyes. Comments By: Brenda

Preparation H is a Vascular Constrictor, which is not what the saggy skin your eyes need. The only thing that Prep-H will help with is that you lightly message under your eyes, which enhances blood flow and tones your skin.
Try cold ice cube, the cold cucumber thing wasn't a farce :-)

english preparation h- gel or ointment? Comments By: bernie

i have been using prep h on a tattoo i recently had done, and tried a little on a swelling under my eye, i noticed the difference straight away , but i picked up prep h gel at the chemist by mistake, which is the better one?

Preparation H with Biodyne Comments By: Donde

I am about to order my second tube of Prep H. I think it's important to make sure you buy Prep H with Biodyne. If it doesn't have Biodyne (like in the US) then it won't work. I live in the US and I have to order from an online Canada Pharmacy to get the original formula with the Biodyne (an anit-inflamatory agent). Not only did it help with my puffiness and wrinkles around the eye, but I applied it to my whole face and my brown sun spots have faded almost into non-existance. The main ingredient is shark liver oil, so that explains a lot. That means there is lots of Vitamin A in it. If it has irritated your skin or hasn't worked for you, then you may be allergic to the biodyne or shark oil. I am amazed with the results I got.

Amazing - just give it a go Comments By: Previous disbeliever !!!

I was very sceptical I am 45 overall have great skin, today spent £5 on a tube of prep H gel. I have terrible swelling under both eyes so bad i always look like ive been in a fight. Also over the past year I have massged one eye so much to get rid of this I have created nasty wrinkles under one eye. My confidence has been terrible as I feel everyone looks at this.

So I couldnt wait to put on the gel, hmm 30 mins on no effect, but wait within an hour it is unbelievable the bags are greatly reduced and the wrinkles almost invisibale.

I have spent hundreds of pounds on eye creams and retinol gels but this for me has to be a miracle. I understand this may be a temporary effect but try it my eyes were very bad. Keep it well away from your eye when dry i just put usual concealer it looks fabulous.

All i can say is wow Im just so glad I invested a £5 I have now used all over face and it has made it a little smoother butthe eye area is unbelievable. Even though it was embarrasing using it.

So glad I tried this Comments By: Tracey

I 44 years old and have for the past 18 months been suffering with terrible puffy and wrinkly eyes, my skin is otherwise good with little wrinkling.

I read about prep H and took the chance and bought some with my shopping today, it cost me £5 and is the UK gel version.

I was so excited about using it i patted it on expecting a miracle and nothing, but wait less than an hour later my eye bags are barely visible and the crepy wrinkles look perfect.

Tis is like a life saver for me I have used every product on the market at great expense and this is so good. My whole face looks younger now and i wont be afraid of giving eye contact it sriously looks like i been at the botox it is so smooth.

Just to add I have very sensitive skin and this did not burn , i did keep it away from my eyes though.

Ladies what have ou got to lose i laughed when i read reviews, but I an so glad i bought this. wow wow wow and this is just the UK version in gel form so not oily.

Did not work for me Comments By: Nikki

I cried all day because I dropped my daughter off at college. So I decided to fix my eyes with the cream but it did not take any of the puffiness away!:(
