Cucumber-caffeine de-puff gel

Post by egerandi » Wed Mar 24, 2010 5:02 pm

A while ago I picked up a sample (gumball?) cucmber gel that worked wonders on my eyes in the morning. I'm wondering if it's coming back, and if it could possibly contain some caffeine?

Yeah a good depuffer to keep in the fridge would be great! Any kind of eye gel/serum type thing would be great I never really know what to do around my eyes... I've been using shea butter at night but it's too thick for the day

I remember the cucumber gel and I liked it. It's so light to use and doesn't cause any milia seeds to grow around my eyes.

I would so LOVE to purchase a full-sized version if it ever makes it back on site again.

I am not sure if there is a limit. I crossed my fingers, hit submit and the order went through. Should get mine on Monday!

I used my sample for the first time today. It did seem to make my puffiness under my eyes go away quicker. I still had my lovely blue veins showing throw, but less puffy.

I've been using this for a few days now and I LOVE IT!! I have real problems using things around my eyes because they are oily...so eye creams make things turn into an oil slick. Bleh.

But this doesn't since it's just a hydrating gel. I think it's perfect Karen. The ingredients are simple, it feels nice, cool, and refreshing to my miserable morning eyes. I have chronic dry eyes and while this gel can't help that since it's not an in eye product, having something cooling around the eye area soothes the general irritation and ache that I wake up with in the whole eye area. Plus, I think its easing the oiliness under my eyes. Since the Green Tea serum does the same thing for my eyelids, I'm assuming it's the aloe that's doing it? Never would have imagined the oiliness was caused by dehydration! I gave a friend part of my sample, she has dryness in that area, and she said it made things feel soft and more supple, like her skin had a drink of water. :P

Your creations are magical Karen! Can't wait 'til there's a F/S jar chillin' in my fridge for summer!

Counting the days till my order arrives (international shipping!)
I think my puffy eyes are caused by water retention. I drink loads of water, especially just before bedtime as well. Have been advised it's a "no-no", but I can't control my thirst!
Hence a lot of puffiness.
