Plexaderm is different than Preparation H Hemorrhoid Cream for puffy eyes
Is Plexaderm the same as hemorrhoid cream for puffy eyes? I find mixed information online about using hemorrhoid creams for eye bags.
Also, is it even safe to put creams like Prep H-hemorrhoid around the eye area? And, can hemorrhoid creams help tighten the skin under the eyes?
Because in addition to puffiness, I also have a lot of loose crepey skin that sags when my eyes are not puffy.
Please help!
Thanks,
Val

Hi Val,
No, Plexaderm is not the same as hemorrhoid cream like Preparation-H.
While some use both for reducing under-eye puffiness, they are quite different in terms of ingredients and intended use.
Plexaderm is specifically designed for cosmetic purposes, helping to reduce puffiness temporarily, while Preparation-H is a medical cream that isn’t safe for under-eye use.
I’ve tried Plexaderm before and to me, it seemed similar to Instantly Ageless.
It starts out a bit dry and gluey and if you don’t work with it quickly it starts to harden before you’ve had a chance to completely cover under eye bags.
If you’re quick and know how to use it – I guess it’s ok, but I like to use something a little softer and pliable.
And Prep-H hemorrhoidal cream did nothing for me at all. It might have worked at one time, but the formula was changed years ago.
I have better luck using a fluid serum rather than a cream. I’ve been using the Easy Eye Serum since 2012 and still find it the best for my situation and under-eye skin.
You also asked:
Is Preparation-H safe for under eye bags? No, Preparation-H is not safe for under eye use. For safer options, you can read more on my full comparison page.
Hope this helps.
