I am pretty lucky in that I don’t have really bad “eye genes”… yup – that’s what I call it… and I’m lucky that my parents and their relatives don’t have much puffy eyes, saggy skin or dark circles near their eye area. The great thing about that is not only that I can continue to look youthful, but that I don’t have to worry too much about cucumbers for the puffiness and concealer to conceal or color correct the dark circles. But – I do still experience all of those things from time to time. Let’s face it – I’m a mother of 3 very active boys and honestly – I survive on just a couple of hours a sleep a night, so I’m always interested in a product that will help me out whenever I need it.
With so many products on the market today, it is important to find one that will not only provide you with a plethora of great benefits, but also find one that is reasonably priced. Insta Natural Youth Express Eye Gel (currently $23.95) 1.7 oz offers ingredients that will help with dark circles, puffiness and sagging skin. It includes the following ingredients:
Plant Stem Cells: Helps mitigate premature aging of the skin
Matrixl 3000: Tightens & Firms the Skin (In this case around your eyes)
Hyaluronic Acid: Moisturizes your skin deeply (After all..your eyes are the pathway to your soul)
Other ingredients: Jojoba Oil, Aloe, Vitamin E, Cucumber and so on. There are just way too many active ingredients to list!
Organic Herbal Infusion, Organic Aloe, Matrixyl 3000, Botanical hyaluronic acid, Organic Jojoba Oil, Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), Palmitoyl Triepeptide-3, Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Plant Stem Cells, Cucumber Hydrosol, Hydroxyethyl Cellulose, Carrageenan Gum, Silk Amino Acid Blend (Sodium L-Pyrrolidone Carboxylate, Sodium Lactate, L’Arginine, L-Aspartic Acid, L-Pyrrolidonecarboxylic Acid, Glycine, L-Alanine, L-Serine, L-Valine, L-Proline, L-threonine, L-Isoleucine, L-Histidine, L-Phenylalanine), Wildcrafted Vinca Major (Periwinkle), Organic Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice), Wildcrafted Euphrasia Officinalis, Wildcrafted Ganoderma Lucidum (Reishi), Organic Gotu Kola, Frankincense, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Ethyl Hexyl Glycerin.
The formula is loaded with skin repairing, firming and age defying ingredients for your eyes and I love that this product is not sticky and applies evenly and smoothly. A little goes a long way so I had to make sure not to use too much, one pump of the product was more than enough. The eye gel is thick, so it gives an almost cooling effect when applied near the eye area… which I really enjoyed. Since I have sensitive eyes – I am often very selective with testing out products because it causes my eyes to be very irritated and this product worked well on my sensitive skin and eyes without issue. After the first use I felt like the skin around my eyes felt refreshed and awake. There is a light cucumber scent – very light which I liked a lot.
I was not completely happy at first with the dispenser this product came with. It took a few pumps before the product started to come out. While I was a bit frustrated at first, once the product came out the first time, it was easy to use thereafter. The packing is simple but I like that it’s pretty durable and fit perfectly in my skin care cabinet. The gel itself is pretty nice and I love that if needed – I can use it as a moisturizer on my entire face… woohoo – bonus!

Again – I don’t have very heavy puffiness under my eyes – but since I don’t get much sleep at night, some mornings they are pretty prominent. Adding just a little of the eye gel makes a huge difference and you can see a change through out the day. This gel has been working wonders for me on days where my allergies are terrible because it really helps to soften the puffiness under my eyes or lightening any dark circles from sleepless nights due to sneezing. I honestly am very impressed. As you can see from my before and after photos (the before taken with my DSLR and the after taken with my Note 2), the puffiness from my eyes disappeared a few hours after applying the gel.

I’m quite impressed with this product, even if the need for use of it is not as often, I know it will do the job. If you have puffy eyes or dark circles under your eyes, with continued use I know you will see a difference. To say I was amazed is an understatement, because I have already suggested this product to a few friends and family members who are loving it as I’m typing this. With an affordable price tag, there really is no harm in trying it out and Insta Natural offers a 100 day hassle free money back guarantee. Oh – and did I mention is this a cruelty free product? That’s a benefit in its own.
What are your favorite eye creams or gels? Is this a product you think you would like to give a try?
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Sounds great! I love that it’s not irritating and that you can use it as a moisturizer if you need it – I know with your sensitive skin that if it works for you, it’s gentle! Right now I’m trying WonderRuci LightLight Eye Cream. It’s got a really different texture that I’m enjoying – almost like raw Shea butter, but really light!
This sounds like a good eye gel! Thanks for the review!
I love eye stuff and this sounds amazing
I don’t think you have any bad genes, anywhere, ever. But yes, luckily your eyes will age beautifully.
I have 3 of their products, I’m pretty amazed considering I haven’t tried any of their products 😉
