Face Care by Peter Thomas Roth Instant Firm Temporary Eye Tightener 30ml

Product Information

I have been putting this review off for a long time because I was genuinely at a loss of how to describe it. I just didn’t get it. This product is all over TikTok at the moment and I can see why because it's different, and I can see how it could work well for full-coverage make-up, but for me this was not great. Your eye cream of choice should be applied as one of the final steps of your skincare routine: after you cleanse, tone and add any serums to your skin, but before you apply your moisturiser. How do I apply an eye cream for puffy eyes? Shield the delicate area around your eyes from untimely ageing caused by the sun, squinting and other environmental aggressions with Peter Thomas Roth's cream. Peter Thomas Roth Instant FirmX Eye (30 ml)

The first time I tried Peter Thomas Roth Instant FirmX Eye, I was extremely tired and jet lagged after a 9-hour Transatlantic flight (as evidenced by my puffy, bloodshot eyes in the before picture). Fine lines, crow’s feet and shadows are a daily concern too, so I was hopeful the cream would also make them magically disappear. The instructions recommended to apply the product to just-cleansed skin before the rest of your skincare serums and creams. You must shake the product first to activate it and then apply a thin layer over the eye area (if you apply too much, they suggest to wipe away the excess with a damp cloth after it dries). The Peter Thomas Roth Instant FIRMx® Eye instantly and temporarily tightens, firms and smoothes the look of the eye area to diminish the appearance of crows feet, fine lines, deep wrinkles and under-eye puffiness. Let the product dry for approximately five minutes while remaining completely expressionless. Do not squint or smile.

Perhaps it's a little too soon for me to be looking for a cream ‘eye-lift’. I gave it to my mum and she loved it, so at least it went to a good home. The brand recommends you wash your face with a non-oily cleanser first, and avoid using an eye cream if possible. Wait for the skin to dry completely, then apply a thin layer of the gel in upward strokes on your problem areas. As you wait for the product to absorb, you’ll literally feel the tightening sensation for an instant firm, smoothing effect in less than five minutes. Just try not to make any expressions as it dries down!

Other ingredients such as vitamins C and E can help the eye area to look brighter, which will also minimise the look of puffiness under the eyes. A lot of eye creams will also have a hydrating effect: for instance, hyaluronic acid helps the skin to retain moisture, which in turn will help firm and tighten the eye area. Firstly, it really surprises me that this is a product created by Peter Thomas Roth as I have only known the brand to create formulas that are about improving and maintaining healthy skin in the long term, so the fact this is all about an instant fix is confusing to me. It promises to tighten the under-eye area and improve the look of crow’s feet, puffiness and fine lines and in all honesty, it kind of did but in a way that feels more suitable to stage make-up than skincare. Start by cleansing with an oil-free cleanser. Make sure skin is completely dry. Do not use cream around the eye area.She smears it on her forehead, her forehead looks smoother, tighter, her lines almost erased. We are screaming, “omg, omg”! This actually works. Meanwhile, I try to smile. My face is distorted. It's so stiff it doesn’t move properly. My friends are laughing at me. I look like I’m trying to talk with a plum in my mouth. I may have flaky white residue on my face (this isn't so bad if you mix the product with moisturiser), and I may not be able to smile, but I don’t care. I look 10 years younger – so long as I stay totally still.

O to the M to the G. This stuff is a magic potion sent from the beauty gods, surely? The term Botox in a bottle very rarely lives up to expectations, but (Sir) Peter Thomas Roth, you have delivered and then some. Let me explain. Using upward strokes, spread a thin layer of the gel underneath the eyes for puffiness, over the crow's feet area, over the ""11"" lines between the brows, and beneath and above the brow bone (but not on the moveable eyelid).The product is described as a temporary eye tightener designed to visibly tighten, firm and smooth the look of the eye area — best suited to minimize the appearance of crow’s-feet, fine lines, deep wrinkles and under-eye puffiness. The science of it seems rather complex, but it’s essentially formulated with the brand’s so-called “Firm-A-Tite,” “Eyeliss” and “Eye Regener” ingredients to give you that temporary tightness you desire. The best advice for attaining a radiant look is to personalise. Select according to your own specific qualities, such as skin-type and age. Don’t overdo it. Using too many different items could actually strain your complexion rather than optimising it. Additionally, be sure to try out each on a small section before committing. The eye cream featured here is targeted at people with all types of skin and applied to the eye area. Peter Thomas Roth ascribes fortifying and smoothing qualities to it, claiming that it helps to reduce puffiness. Peter Thomas Roth Facial Care: Price UK As with any eye cream, less is more. You need to use only a small, pea-sized amount of eye cream for both eyes. We recommend gently dabbing the cream on with your finger, starting at the inner corner of your eye and working your way along to the outer corner. Then tap the product into the skin lightly. On me, it’s difficult to say how good the results were. It definitely made me look more wide awake by tightening the area. Sadly, I found it too uncomfortable to wear and, quite frankly, just don’t need a product like that at the moment. I did, however, try it on my mum who had pretty dramatic results. It absolutely lives up to the claim of being instant and it certainly smoothes out fine lines and its ability to depuff near instantly is incredible.

Women of all ages from their 20s to 70s have hailed the skin tightening eye cream as ‘magic’, saying it’s given them more confidence. Some say their husbands have been pinching it to use themselves, too. I think because I naturally have sunken eyes, it didn’t do what I needed it to do. I applied a pea sized amount as I was afraid of the white residue it warned me about if used in excess. Then, the product oxidised on my dark skin so it looked very grey and dark as it dried out. My looked more sunken than ever. It did tighten, but it felt like PVA glue on the skin. To try and counteract this, I applied my liquid concealer on top, and it went from bad to worse. The concoction crumbled, it didn’t really reduce the appearance of my under-eye lines, nor did it feel like a smooth surface to apply makeup on. I gave it a good go, but soon had to remove it.

If you take this eye cream for a spin, your under eyes will most certainly be transformed, but get ready for touch-ups throughout the day. Because the skin around the eyes is fragile, be careful not to rub or pull at the skin as you apply your eye cream. And take care not to get any of the cream in your eye itself. Some creams come with a metal applicator tip for ease of application.After seeing this eye cream all over TikTok, I was very intrigued give it a go, but I was also aware that I’ve not really got under eye lines to soften or bags to depuff yet since I’m still in my 20s, so heading into it, I knew the dramatic results would be wasted on me. For those also looking to keep wrinkles at bay, certain eye creams now include retinol, which can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines around the eye area when used consistently.

Meanwhile, Yaya was considering cosmetic procedures until she discovered the cream, commenting: “I have the puffiest under-eye bags and was seriously considering under eye filler to get rid of them, until I finally got my hands on this. It does an amazing job of smoothing out any lines and getting rid of puffiness so concealer looks perfect after putting this on.” Bean said: “I’ve never bought into the eye firming products because I’ve never found one that works but this definitely does!! You only need a tiny little bit and let it dry and voila no more bags and wrinkles! Even my husband had a go and couldn’t believe it.”
