Peter Thomas Roth Instant FIRMx Eye Temporary Eye Tightener Easy-Wear Formula

What The Hard Truth Reviewer said below is indeed straight truth (and amusing as well; thanks for that, man). I too am a guy who was long planning to get eye bag reduction surgery for about $8K to $10K. I inherited these bags from two generations of face luggage-carrying people. No matter how much I slept, ate well, abstained from toxins, or exercised, they'd become an unsightly fixture just below the windows of my soul. So I was willing to go into debt to look like a healthy man of my actual age. Turns out, I didn’t need to. Peter Thomas Roth has created a product that works consistently for an affordable price. You only need to smear one or two dots the size of, like, a quinoa grain on each stupid eye bag. In minutes you’ll feel and see that skin tighten up. The shadows beneath my eyeballs are attenuated noticeably. Two suggestions: (1) Get the kind with a tint (Easy-Wear Formula); the original white version also works, but I did have dried white residue issues when I first tried the original product. (2) Beware of impostors. Shysters sell tubes of the fake stuff HERE ON AMAZON for less cost (they even mimic the design of the packaging/tubes to look legit). But you’ll be wasting your money. I learned that the $$ way. I don’t usually post reviews unless the product is REALLY good, or REALLY bad. This product is the former, and it deserves praise and acknowledgement. Thank you PTR for saving me many thousands of ducats—and for helping me look and feel my age. Read more

This item arrived promptly. It does exactly what it claims...you can actually see it dissolving eye bags. It can feel a little tight (so you know its working), however it doesn't last long. Any facial expressions will test the magic and lessen the effective time. Some white cast may be seen if not blended properly. Would order again Read more

As a man, I have found it nearly impossible to find a product to make the bags under my eyes less noticeable. I was not willing to spend hundreds of dollars for a product that I had no idea if it would even work. I asked so many women what they use to help their eye bags, and I found they were just as clueless. Upfront - you should be aware the effect is temporary - BUT IT WORKS! I used for the first time on Sunday, and I went to visit my daughter who lives out of town. The first thing she said was - Dad, you look great, did you lose weight? I proceeded to tell her what I used and she immediately ordered the product. I used again today for a Zoom meeting, and FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE PANDEMIC - I actually was happy to see my face on camera, with no eye bags!! Men - the product has a slight tint to it, but it blends extremely well with the applicator brush. No need to worry about looking like you are wearing cosmetics (if that is a concern). I wake up with bags under my eyes due to sleep apnea and seasonal allergies. They are so bad, I nicknamed my eye bags as Southwest Airlines on the right side, and American Airlines on the left side (bad joke, but that’s how bad my eye bags are). All I can say, is I finally found a product that ACTUALLY WORKS and is not overly priced. Whether you are a man or a woman, this product is a MUST HAVE if you have eye bags. The tightening effects last quite a while. A touch up after work may be necessary if you plan on going out later in the evening. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND - 1,000%! Read more

this item does what it is supposed to do by tightening the facial skin but leaves a light residue on areas applied. It states to wipe residue off with wet cotton swab but this also wipes the product off which makes the area return to pre-application state. The places applied feel very tight like there is face paint dried on your face. I don't think I would be able to go all day with the uncomfortable feeling it leaves. Although the product does what it says, the overall appearance and feeling it leaves is not worth the effort to me. Read more

This stuff really works! I’ve tried other brands but this one is the truest and last the longest! It blends well with foundation but can be used by itself because of the light tint! Goes on smooth with applicator brush, it’s moisturizing and does not irritate my eyes! Works great and best value for the money! Read more

It is amazing how this tightens deep eye bags - as if air brushed. I typically don't share photos of my 60-something self in reviews, but this time I feel obligated to help others take the next step to try this. My photos were taken in a store 5 minutes after I quickly brushed on a "try me" version of this tightener. We all know how awful we can look in the harsh lighting of a retail store, yet this transformation took place as I was staring into a mirror. Until now, I had been wearing sunglasses in every photo because I have been so bothered by how old my eyes made me look. Now I find myself taking my sunglasses off for photos. This product is by far the best thing I’ve tried. It completely tightens and lightens the under-eye area. I quickly determined the right amount to use for me, and brushed it across (don’t over manipulate), let it dry, and am repeatedly truly astonished. I do not find that there is a white cast with this new formula, I just pat a touch of foundation powder on my face now and I'm ready to go. There is a sensation of tightness that some other reviewers say they find uncomfortable, but it doesn’t bother me a bit (especially knowing how much better I look). Analogous to wearing a bra that constricts a bit too, but I'm not going without one of those either (LOL). I have now been using this for about a month and I'm particularly surprised to see how well it holds up, even after several hours of pickleball. Try it. Just do it. Read more
