Benefit Puff Off Instant Eye Gel Review & Swatches
Benefit Puff Off Instant Eye Gel To Help Smooth the Look of Undereye Puffies ($29) is a new Benefit Spring 2015 permanent release! I’m in heaven as I’m always excited when some new product comes along to address my undereye puffiness!
Let’s take a look!
Benefit Puff Off Instant Eye Gel is an undereye treatment gel that helps to “iron” out undereye puffiness and fine lines. This is a cutely designed tube that features a cooling “iron” that allows you to smooth and blend out the eye gel as well as mimics the old spoon in the fridge method of reducing under eye puffiness. The tip of the tube has a cool metal iron shaped applicator on the end which allows you to squeeze out the gel and apply it directly to the eye area using the “ironing” method of gently smoothing under eyes. The applicator has a cool feel under eyes as you apply the gel which in turn does reduce some minor puffiness.
The actual eye gel is more of a lightly hydrating eye cream and not so much a gel texture. It absorbs easily and seems to have a little mica in the mix to brighten up eyes but nothing too sparkly or glow-y. I find the cream absorbs very, very easily under eyes but being as dry as I am I don’t find it’s super moisturizing unfortunately but that’s not what it’s marketed for so that’s fine. I do think using the applicator does reduce some puffiness so it isn’t necessarily the gel or cream if you will that’s doing anything to reduce the puffiness. The cooling applicator is nice to smooth away late night or sinus puffiness but if you have puffy, aging eyes this isn’t going to quite work out for you! Personally I blame my puffiness on aging eyes and not so much on late night gaming sessions or seasonal allergies. I see very minor relief in my puff issues when I use it sadly.

I did note that this is a mere 0.34 oz in size at nearly $30 and I couldn’t help but think maybe that money would be better spent towards eye cream!
Benefit Puff Off Instant Eye Gel might be a handy solution for younger eyes but those with aging eyes might not see much of a difference. For me, I didn’t notice a drastic change sadly.
Benefit Puff Off Instant Eye Gel is available now at benefitcosmetics.com and will be launching at Sephora, Sephora.com, Ulta, and Ulta.com shortly.
