When I suffer from allergies the skin around my eyes gets puffy, red, sore, and so dry it flakes. Every other cream or gel I've tried stings and makes things worse. Last spring I'd almost given up finding something to help the skin around my eyes look and feel better when customer service at Skin Care recommended Acti-Firm. It really helped. Now my allergies are under control, but I still use Acti-Firm.
