Product Review: Patricia Wexler M.D.'s Fastscription Instant De-Puff Gel

Patricia Wexler M.D. Dermatology

Fastscription™ Instant De-Puff Eye Gel What It Does: The name pretty much gives it away, but if you couldn't figure it out ... this product is supposed to de-puff the eye area. **What it Claims** Cooling and correcting, this miraculous gel immediately reduces visible puffiness. See long-term benefits with continued use. Specially formulated yeast complex firms the undereye area and softens the appearance of fine lines. Visibly renews and improves skin inside and out. Firms the orbital eye area Reduces the appearance of fine lines Fragrance-free Suitable for all skin types **pink area = not my own words** My thoughts: I kind of love this product. In fact ... I should get paid for all the people I've sent over to Bath and Body Works to purchase this thing! Okay, so I'm not going to make some outrageous statement by calling it a miracle worker (although a lot of my clients love, love LOVE and swear by this product) ... but it does do wonders. Upon application ... you can totally feel the tingling action as the product starts to work its magic. I'm telling you ... it really does make a difference. Do not, however, mistake this product for a wrinkle filler. I had a client say that she felt the tingling action, totally saw the puffiness die down, but it made little difference to the wrinkles around her eye. *crickets chirping as I stare at her* ... uhhh yeah. It's a De-PUFF product ... not an anti-wrinkling agent. *sigh* So let's rate this thing. *drum rolllllllll* Score: 8/10. "WHAT?! But I thought you LOVED this thing!" Okay ... so the reason this product doesn't get a 10/10 or a 9/10 is because of two things. 1. Many feel that the product loses its effectiveness after long term use. Perhaps taking some time off of the product and only using it when you really need it (i.e. photoshoots) can prevent this. 2. Packaging: I'm no psychic ... I'm a busy makeup artist. The worst thing is getting to a job and then realizing the product is out. Not a huge deal, I know. But little peeper areas in the packaging through SOME clear material would be nice. 10 is perfection ... and this is MY review. I can be stingy with my rating points if I want. So there! =P ***** Happy Makeup-ing! xoxo, Grace makeup@gracechun.com www.twitter.com/gracechunmua
