Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini says, "If you're looking for an instant (if temporary) tightening fix with dramatic results, this is the product for you. In under three minutes, this insanely effective cream not only tightens undereye bags but smooths, depuffs and firms the skin in the entire eye area, blurring fine lines, crow's feet and even deep wrinkles for at least a few hours. It's gone viral several times over for a reason: This product actually works.
"The application can be exacting — it's best to use a makeup brush or cotton swab and apply an ultra-thin layer; if not, it looks like a crusty mess. But, once you get the amount right, the proprietary skin tightening mix (with an assist from retinyl palmitate and vitamins B and C) delivers incredible results."
Also incredible? This stuff hardly ever goes on sale, but you can save $8 if you act fast.
