Benefit Puff Off is one of those products I have been itching to get my hands on and now have. I was intrigued by the design as soon as I saw it and wanted to know whether it was worth the hype.
Described as being an instant eye gel to help smooth the look of undereye puffiness and it is claimed by Benefit that " Undereye puffiness and creases look “satiny smooth” with our innovative undereye gel".
Puff Off retails at £22.50 and is packaged within this 10ml squeezy cream coloured tube, but for me, the most exciting part is the silver metal iron shaped applicator which dispenses the gel. The applicator is brilliant, I love everything about it and if ever there was something to capture your attention about or on a product it is this. That aside, of course the iron shaped applicator is also a functional part of the product as the metal is really cooling on the undereye area and better still the pointed iron works really well at getting into those small crevices around the eye.
The gel, which I put in the fridge the night before for an extra treat. The gel is a pinky/peach colour so it works really well to correct those dark undereye circles. It also contains light reflecting particles which help to brighten up the eye area to make you look more wide awake which is an absolute godsend. So how does it work? Well the gel contains a peptide blend plus an antioxident which work together to help reduce the puffiness, add to that the cooling metal applicator and within minutes of applying, you should notice a difference. One word of warning before you use this product is not to squeeze it too hard because the gel will shoot off everywhere and there is no way of getting it back inside the tube, that said, a slight squeeze is more than enough to release plenty of product for both eyes.
When it comes to the actual application is is really easy. All you simply need to do is ‘dot’ the gel underneath both eyes, and then using the iron tip smooth the gel in. Given the lightweight formula of the gel, it is not greasy or sticky and absorbs itself into the skin really quickly. Benefit state that you can apply the gel before or after your makeup and it can be applied throughout the day as you see fit. I use mine first thing in a morning if I have had a late night, struggled to sleep or just feel the need to use it and then if I am going out in an evening, I tend to reach for it then too.
I absolutely love this little gem of a product from Benefit and for me it lives up to all its promises and hype and is well worthy of investing in.

Always wondered if that worked! Great in depth analysis
ReplyDeleteI am always dubious about products like this, especially given such a high price tag
ReplyDeleteI do like your idea though of putting in the fridge and I can imagine how cooling and soothing that must be to an area that is so easily irritated
I'm yet to try this but anything that helps with the puffy eyes is a winner by me!

ReplyDeleteI like this idea that its also a concealer too
ReplyDeletegreat stuff I have always love benefit stuff
ReplyDeleteThe thing I find with Benefit is that although their packaging and branding is fantastic, the actual products don't always live up to the hype. So it's great to hear that this is a good 'un. Will definitely seek it out.
ReplyDeleteI have to say I love this as well - it seems to really hydrate my eyes if nothing else.
ReplyDeleteOh I do love anything that reduces puffiness or helps with the eyebag area. Love the idea you keep it in the fridge, must feel lovely x
ReplyDeleteive always loved the packaging design of this. i still need to try it myself
ReplyDeleteThis sounds brilliant. I could really do with this on those mornings where my little one hasn't slept well!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great review! I love the idea of putting it in the fridge the night before - will definitely have to try this!
