Dark circles & puffiness — what really helps 黑眼圈·眼袋：真正有效的方法
Skin — Clarity & Even Tone 护肤·淡斑·提亮 early evidenceWhat the evidence says:
Honest split: PUFFINESS responds to a cold compress (temporary vasoconstriction) and better sleep/less salt. Pigment/genetic dark circles do NOT wash off — sleep, treating allergies, and daily sunscreen help most; topical caffeine/vitamin K are weak. Manage expectations.

How to make it
Chill a brewed 菊花 or green-tea bag, rest over closed eyes 10 min for puffiness. Then fix the causes: sleep, hydration, less late salt/alcohol, treat allergies, wear sunscreen.
Why it works
Iron deficiency and poor sleep worsen under-eye shadow — check those.
Classical source
Cooling eye compresses (chrysanthemum/tea) are traditional for "tired, hot" eyes.
Cautions: If one eye only, sudden, or with vision change, see a doctor. Beware "miracle" eye creams for genetic circles.
