I've been using 'Instantly Ageless' firming cream for almost 8 yrs to tighten the luggage I carry under my eyes. It instantly became a daily ritual for me. But sometimes it just didn't work correctly and I'd have to wash it off and re-apply.
Sometimes more than once. Now, it's not cheap, and re-applying was wasteful. Sometimes I'd have to re-apply a second time throughout the day if I had something going on in the evening. Plus it comes in small plastic vials that always leave some of the product unreachable unless I cut the bottom off to get to it and there's always still some left that's just wasted because I can't use it all and it will dry out if it's not sealed well.
So, I decided to try something else and see if I could get a similar result. When I saw a TikTok video about Peter Thomas Roth firming cream I decided to give it a try. I was down to minimal vials of my Instantly Ageless cream and prayed I would receive this cream before I ran out and it would be at least as good as IA. I panic when I think I'll be out of it, because you know, I'm scary without it!
So, the cream arrived. Whew! I was down to ONE VIAL! I applied it. I fanned it. I waited about less than a minute. And it worked! It actually worked BETTER than my previous cream! It was smoother. It didn't leave a crusty white residue and I couldn't see the outline of the product on my skin as I did with IA. So far it's gone on perfectly every time.
I gave it my ultimate test and slept in it (I got up about 14 hours from the time I put it on) and it still looked perfect when I got up. I probably wouldn't have even had to reapply for awhile. I love that it comes in ONE tube also, instead of several small vials. It's about the same price, volume wise, as IA, because with all the waste I had with reapplying and never getting it all out of the little vials, I believe PTR cream will actually even save me some money.
The IA is a pink sort of pasty solution, which I didn't really like the texture of and it took me forever to figure out just the amount I needed. And still sometimes I got it wrong. The PTR is a clear kind of liquidy gel, if that makes sense. It just goes on so much smoother and in my opinion, lasts much longer.
I know some people say it leaves a white residue. If it's applied correctly it should not do that. Be sure to shake the tube well before applying and just use a tiny amount until you figure out just how much you need.
I just can't say enough good things about this product. I will never go back to my previous cream nor do I believe I will ever feel the need to seek out another cream.
I hope this review will help others to find the help they seek for those nasty bags under the eyes.
UPDATE: I've been using this product for over a month now and im still absolutely thrilled with it. I wish I'd found it years ago.

Suggested Usage & Study Results
(1) Start by cleansing with an oil-free cleanser. Make sure skin is completely dry. Do not use cream around the eye area. (2) Shake the tube. Apply a pea-sized amount to the top of the hand. (3) Using a clean, dry makeup brush, pick up a tiny amount of the product. (4) Using upward strokes, spread a thin layer of the gel underneath the eyes for puffiness, onto the crow's feet area, onto the "11" lines between the brows, and beneath and above the brow bone (but not on the moveable eyelid). (5) Let the product dry for approximately 5 minutes while remaining expressionless—do not squint or smile. (6) If you notice any white residue, simply moisten a cotton swab (or your fingertip) and remove excess by gently patting the edges. (7) Once product is completely dry, you are good to go! You can gently pat on foundation and/or apply powder. For external use only.

Temporary firming under eye cream that really works

WORKS but PLEASE READ THIS
It ACTUALLY WORKS, but you MUST not get a drop of moisture on the applied area because the magical barrier (that smooths out the bags and puffiness) literally breaks down immediately and the effect is gone. Like others have mentioned, you have to shake it first and every time - even though it’s a paste in a tube and you’d think you would not have to shake it… But you have to shake it anyway even if you think it’s not mixing. Use a pea size amount on each eye and use your finger to LIGHTLY DAB an extremely thin coating - go across the entire width of your under eye area and get as close to Your bottom eyelashes as you can without getting the product into your eyes (because it will burn). Do not MOVE your face and fan it with an index card. It’ll work - but do not put ANYTHING on top or near it because the second you do the composition or the “magical barrier” Completely breaks down and the puffiness and bags are immediately back. I go so far as to put my contact lenses in first, brush my teeth first, dry my hair first - anything at all that eliminates the possibility of moisture. Lastly, sometimes you’ll get a weird mark under your eye, almost like a ring mark. I think that when the area “smooths out” it can connect freckles or age marks for some reason, And you’ll have a weird dark marking under your eyes… Since you cannot put make up on top of it then you’re stuck with depuffed eyes but with weird marks under your eyes. I tried mixing in a teeny amount of Bare Minerals dry powder into the pea size amount and I think it worked! Smooth area and no marks today. Please see photos - not sure the order you can see them but the puffy eyes are the before and I am cautiously optimistic. I’ll give an update at a later time. Just wish they could give more product in a bigger tube and REDUCE the price. Otherwise this’ll end up costing as much as a lower blepharoplasty. UPDATE: found a much CHEAPER price!! Walmart online has it for $28 instead of $48 which is what I’ve paid at cosmetic and beauty supply stores. I tested and it’s not a knockoff. Life has its little victories.
