Here's a review on Benefit Puff Off.
PRICE: P1,500.00
FROM: Free
OTHER LOCATIONS: Available in all Benefit counters and boutiques locally
THE VERDICT:
I get puffy eyes in the morning whenever I sleep on one side for the entire night or even for just a couple of hours; I get puffy eyes too when I fall asleep after crying on a sappy movie; the puffs persist for hours or if I'm unlucky, they stay the whole day; definitely not sexy!
To get rid of puffy eyes, there's the usual home remedies such as ice cubes, chilled spoon, cucumber, potatoes, and tea bags; they work, but they can be quite messy and wasteful.
There's an easier, more convenient solution to puffy eyes: Benefit Puff Off, an eye treatment that not only de-puffs, but helps minimize dark circles instantly with its magic formula.
BENEFIT PUFF OFF IN DETAIL
Puff Off is a light, tinted eye cream that helps gets rid of puffiness, minimize darkness, infuses skin with peptides, moisturizes, and helps minimize signs of aging; the formula features a cooling effect and the product has a special cooled tip metal applicator for an effective de-puffing action.
Ingredients
Here's the super cute cooled applicator that resembles an iron; gives you the feeling that you're ironing your puffs away! I said cooled because this metal tip feels innately cool and gets even cooler (like a chilled spoon) when you put it in an air-conditioned room; I don't use it to spread the product though to keep the fresh eye cream inside the tube unadulterated; I just place it on top of my under eyes for a couple of minutes for some extra de-puffing action from the applicator.
BENEFIT PUFF OFF IN ACTION
The product is a lightweight, pinkish cream with a fresh, moisturizing texture; Benefit called this an eye gel, but it looks more of cream to me. Consistency is smooth, a lil' creamy, and gets absorbed quickly; formula has slight cooling properties and surprisingly, for an eye cream, has a pinkish tint that helps counteract dark circles. Product has a light floral scent. Don't let the product gets inside your eyes because the cooling sensation will sting 'em.
I love using this product before applying concealer because the Pink tint kinda' acts as a corrector; I also use it after pulling an all- nighter because it helps prevent puffy eyes in the morning; if I've had a sleepless night, this product minimizes the puffiness. However, if you have naturally puffy eyes, this product can't treat it.
Benefit Puff Off is your handy 'iron' to smooth those puffs away; best for you if you're like me who gets really puffy eyes or if you want an eye cream that has concealing properties.

I got natural puffy eyes and when I tried using this my puff doesn't go away but I feel like that area is smooth by then. Also I find the gel cool when applied, I thought my eyes will sting but ut didn't.
ReplyDeleteCould it be that you have naturally puffy eyes? I have a childhood friend who's had puffy eyes since we were young and nothing has helped her with her bags. Oh, genes!
DeletePuffy eyes is not good looking at all. I, most of the time experience that but not minding it so much. Hehe. Benefit never failed to come out great products for our needs. Though its a bit pricey but its alright to splurge out into something that's worth it. Great product to try and the applicator is awesome. Another great review Ms.Martha.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome; Benefit is currently offering deluxe sample of puff off at a fraction of the cost for customers to try it out before purchasing the big one; if you try it soon, let me know how you like/hate it. :D

ReplyDeletesuch a cute name. Puff Off! haha I want this because I noticed only recently that I have darker circles under my eyes, thanks to the last 7 months of working with a shifting schedule.
ReplyDeleteIf dark under eye circles is more of your problems, try wrinkle and fatigue- reducing formulas such as Origins Gin-Zing and Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream. :)
DeleteI have a bad habits of eating noodles in the middle of the night and every morning my eyes as well as my whole face looks like a chipmunk's I sort it out with using cold spoon but, I can't when I sleep to my soon to wed cousin (they don't have a fridge yet). Reading your review I might consider buying it (very travel friendly in my opinion).
ReplyDeleteHaha! I miss the times when I can just pig out on noodles at midnight like you; as much as I want to, can't do that now because...age and slow metabolism haha!
Deleteim considering this for an eyecream!
ReplyDeleteBenefit's additional product with good benefits for puffy eyes ^̮^ its unique applicator is so cool to see, looks like a flat iron and I like it (＞＜) how I wish to get my hands on this someday(o_o)
ReplyDeleteThe applicator is the cutest I've seen!
DeleteI wish you can try it soon!
Another tip to lessen the puffiness is to add another pillow so your head is much more elevated than your whole body :)
ReplyDeleteGreat tip! :D Thanks!
DeleteMajor points for that applicator, floral scent and that witty name! But this post is missing something.. How does this eye cream work its magic for you Ms. Martha? No sample photo :( #demanding
ReplyDeleteHi Tala!
DeleteGreat question; I took photos of it, but lost them when my laptop crashed two months ago, thus it took me a while to review this one and now I'm done with the cream. :(
Luckily that you got it for free! Thatsheart really recommend this! And i wanted it so badly..
ReplyDeleteThe applicator seems help you easily to apply it. and i agree with your price rating hehe
So adorable! ButI heard SkinFood makes better eye creams in that price range.
ReplyDeletehey Sarah! Thanks for the tip; hmmm...I should go ahead and check out skin food soon; it's been a while!
Deletethat applicator is really unique. I like to feel that cooling effect that you were talking about Ms.Martha! I only use a cooled metal spoon and use them in the morning if I need them! hehe :)
ReplyDeleteThe applicator helps. I think the wide, flat surface gliding with some cream on it is easier than the typical roll-on type. I find that my undereye skin tends to get caught in the roll-on. Ouch!
ReplyDeleteOh my! I experienced that before too..my skin got caught in one of the roll- on eye creams I used; 'twas painful so never again! :p
Deleteang cute ng itsura. Benefit's signature is the cool name plus cute packaging. :)
ReplyDeleteAwe! I think I need this one! :/ Benefit's products are really promising. But pricey. :( Actually not that visible naman akin. Pag nagsmile or laugh lang. I'm more on dark circles. Shucks! I think I'll just have the natural or home remedies. Just patience.:)
ReplyDeleteIf it's dark circles, as I said to one commenter, try origins or bobbi brown; also Nivea coq10 if that's still around; that's one good eye cream. :)
DeleteSuper cute ng applicator! Kaya pala ganun yung picture sa packaging. :) As much as I wanted to have one, my eyes don't get really puffy so I don't need it. Parang after a few minutes after crying, my eyes go back to normal
ReplyDeleteLucky you! That means your eyes don't retain too much water; my under eyes do!
Deletei just used an ice for my undereye whenever I feel the puffiness
ReplyDeleteAh, a technique that never fails! :D
DeleteLet me know what you think of this post! :)
