Refreshing hydration for the delicate eye area
Skinbetter Science Instant Effect Gel EYE is a lightweight, hydrating eye gel that helps improve the appearance of under-eye bags, puffiness and skin texture. Its refreshing formula brings moisture back to the delicate eye area, leaving skin feeling smoother and more supple.

How it works

Together, these ingredients support smoother, more comfortable skin with a refreshed appearance.
Clinical study
Skinbetter Science evaluated Instant Effect Gel EYE in a dermatologist-led clinical study involving 15 participants, using the product twice daily for 28 days.

How to use

- Dispense up to one pump.
- Use the stainless-steel rollerball to gently apply the gel around the eye area in small, circular motions.
- Use light pressure and avoid direct contact with the eyes.

For external use only. If irritation develops, discontinue use. If the product enters the eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.
Loshen & Crem’s recommendation
We recommend Instant Effect Gel EYE when puffiness and dehydration are your main concerns, especially if you enjoy the feel of a light gel around the eyes.
Take a gentle approach with the rollerball: a light touch is enough. If you wear concealer, allow the gel to absorb before applying it.
Choosing eye care starts with understanding what you want to improve. Our facialists can help you decide whether this refreshing gel or a more nourishing eye cream belongs in your routine.
