"While Preparation H is great for its intended use, as a hemorrhoid cream, it isn't good for the under-eye area! Preparation H is made with phenylephrine, which is a vasoconstrictor and only
temporarily tightens skin. This can be irritating and will not provide the long tern results you are probably looking for."
