30-day skincare plan for under-eye puffiness
Thirty days is long enough to see direction, not a finish line. This plan for under-eye puffiness moves from baseline to review in four short stages.
Week 1: baseline
Scan lower eyelids and the upper cheek bones. Cut the routine to cooling eye gel, moisturizer and SPF. Store eye gel in the fridge and raise your pillow slightly.
Week 2: first active
Introduce caffeine on two nights. Keep notes on how skin feels, not just how it looks.
Week 3: steady state
Hold the routine. If skin is comfortable, add one night of caffeine; if not, stay at two. Avoid heavy eye creams that migrate and sleeping face-down nightly.
Week 4: review
Compare week-one and week-four scans of lower eyelids and the upper cheek bones. Decide: keep, adjust or swap in peptides.
Remember that a few days for fluid-related puffiness, while structural puffiness changes little; day 30 is a checkpoint.
If things do not go to plan
Most setbacks are predictable. Here is what to do about each.

Answer honestly before adding or swapping a product. Most plateaus are explained by one of these.
