Hi Dr. and everyone

I purchased some pure caffeine from personal formulator, it said that it can be mixed with the cream that is also available from their site but it doesn't seem to dissolve at all. I'm left with a grainy texture of cream.

I tried water, hot water but it only clumps up and seems to be less dense than water. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I've got really bad bags under my eyes. The left eye has a more pronounced bag because I keep trying to force open my left eye (ptosis). Could that bag be saggy fat or an enlarged muscle???

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried the green tea bags yet? I put 2 bags in a coffee cup with just a small amount of water and put it in the freezer. I soak the bags for just a moment. I press most of the water out of the bags (leave moist) and place them under my eyes while applying firm pressure (no rubbing). Once the bags have lost the coldness I place them back into the cup and back into the freezer (there is usually only a little water left in the cup) I will let the bags return to a near freeze (the bag is still very pliable) and repeat the process. I will do this about 3 times and then let my skin dry before I splash my face with water and apply my moisterizer this wakes me up and feels very refreshing. I believe it is the combination on caffeine and cold that reduces the puffiness, but whatever it works wonders for me! I usually am done with the process by the end of my first cup of coffee...internal and external caffeine to start the day!
BTW: You could have excessive fat pads under your eyes..which is another problem entirely!
