While reading this article i noticed that you used the following statement… “Eye creams containing aloe and Vitamin E can be utilized to effectively minimize the problems associated with puffy eyes.”
Right before reading your article I read an article that says NOT to use creams that have aloe in them because of the moisture in the aloe can cause your eyes to retain the water.
can you please tell me where you found out the info that Eye creams that have aloe in them actually do help to minimize these problems? or if there are any statstics from studies done on this.
that would be greatly appreciated if the information was more clearly cited for validity.
thank you
