Question:
In the never-ending quest for an eye treatment that will reduce the puffies
(partly hereditary, partly sinus), I ran across a description of Yonka's
Phyto-Contour. It claims to diminish the "bags" & even encourage sinus
drainage. Before I take another plunge into the pool of wishful thinking, I'd
appreciate any opinions from those of you who've used this product -- or
something that works.
Answer:
I have totally gotten rid of all puffiness around my eyes with one simple
product that my insurance even pays for.... Allegra D. Seriously, if your
problem is even in part sinus/allergy, you might investigate a decongestant. I
didn't even consider myself to have bags until I started taking the Allegra for
other allergy symptoms and one day I realized that my under eyes were amazingly
flat.
who is leary of any topical product that says it can "encourage" sinus
drainage. That doesn't seem possible for one thing-- drainage is in internal
process. And also... my parents "encourage" me to save money-- but it's not
happening! :) hmmmm... good question. According to the allegra.com website: fexofenadine HCl
60 mg and pseudoephedrine HCl 120 mg The pseudoephedrine is the decongestant;
you can buy it otc as Sudafed just be sure to check the strength as you are
choosing between the many various products. I probably should not have labeled Allegra-D solely as a "decongestant."
Allegra is an antihistamine and the "D" addition makes it a dual component
drug. It could very well be the fexofenadine that has helped me so much.
Sorry to be confusing.
I had been taking Clarinex and it buckled in this year's crazy allergy season.
Does that help? Allegra has a good website and my doctor was hugely generous
with samples. I, too, am plagued with puffy eyes and I think I have tried everything that I
can get my hands on. The Yonka did nothing.
If you are game, give the allergy pills a whirl.
