You got to know your skin, but the fundamental things you want to look for is, has this been tested to not clog pores? And is it in a pump bottle or is it in a jar? Jars tend to be more occlusive. They tend to provide more moisturization, but they can lead to problems like acne and breakouts.

Yeah, exactly. Exactly. The greasier, the more occlusion it provides. But in doing so, it clogs everything. Now, if you're one that has some sort of skin issue in which you need that, it's the best thing. If you're one that is breaking out all the time, you want something lighter.

Well, maybe you need a little bit more sleep or maybe you had a wild night. I can't tell. But generally, the bags are caused by two things. One, fluid retention. So there's some lymphatic change that occurs under the eyes that's most noticeable because the skin under our eyes and on the surface of our eyelids is the thinnest. So fluid changes are seen the quickest there.
