Hey...was wondering if anyone has found anything that helps reduce bags under the eyes? Mine are minor, but I would still like to get rid of them. Thanks.

ice and tea bags help

You can try freezing a spoon and putting it on the swollen area for as long as you can... or ice like Jennyvee said.
Also, washing your face with as cold water as you can handle for about 5 minutes is supposed to reduce them. It's hard to do but it works.
Basically applying anything cold will help a lot.

yes great idea riotgirl!
