That is also a "models' secret" for diminishing undereye puffiness! I have tried it (definitely prefer the gel to the creme). It would seem to help at least a smidge, although that could have due to the "massage" of reapplying it a few times on bad mornings. At the least I don't think it's harmful, long as you keep it out of your eyes. This tip has been out there forever and I think it's been "looked at" for potential hazards. I *think.*
And whew! Thank goodness you posted because I forgot to say one more thing: rainbowbrite, when you first start using an AHA, if it's a highish strength one especially (approx. 10% + I think), your skin may feel tight for a few days. This does not mean it is drying it out in some bad way, it's just taking off the dead layer, and your skin will be glowier soon.
(Aaah, I can breathe again.)
