Everything from hayfever to late nights spent dancing at festivals can leave you with puffy, tired eyes during summer, but this eye gel is said to improve them in 30 seconds
Summer is all about making the most of the light evenings and sunny weather, which can often mean we’re out late, up early, and spending plenty of time outdoors where hayfever and pollen are rife. All that can lead to puffy, tired and itchy eyes, not to mention a dark circle or two.
However the Tata Harper Brightening Eye Gel promises to be an almost instant solution to all of that, with some shoppers saying it worked in under a minute. One glowing review of the eye gel said: “I was skeptical but I have been a customer for 5 years with Tata Harper so I trust her products. Wow! It works, I woke up with puffy eyes and I used this nice cooling eye gel and in 30 seconds I saw my eyes brighter, less puffy and glowing the ingredients in this tube does its magic. Solution is consistent and I use it morning and night. I’m happy with this Eye gel.”

The Tata Harper Brightening Eye Gel (£72) is packed full of skin-loving ingredients which help to restore the moisture and hydration to your delicate under-eye area, leaving it hydrated, plump and glowing. It contains kakadu plum and vitamin C which help to brighten up the area, as well as avocado which helps reduce puffiness and improve the appearance of dark circles.
You’ll also find a green coffee bean complex, which acts as a source of caffeine to boost the eye gel’s effect and prevent tired looking eyes. It has a lightweight gel to cream formula which is cooling and soothing under your eyes, something which is only improved by the cooling metal applicator tip, which helps to de-puff your under-eye area quickly.
Considering some reviewers saw results in 30 seconds, it’s safe to say this is a beauty bag staple to take with you whether you’re travelling, heading off to a festival, or just know you’ve got a late night in the sunshine planned. If you’re looking for something a little more affordable, the Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum Ginseng + Retinal is £15 for a 30ml tube.
It promises to visibly smooth and firm the skin around your eyes with a gentle formula, and is a great way for beginners to introduce retinal into their beauty routine. Alternatively the De-Puff and Brighten Eye Gel from Byoma is £13 for 20ml and helps to cool and de-puff your skin whilst also reducing dark circles.
However it’s the Tata Harper Brightening Eye Gel that Space NK shoppers have been praising, giving it a 4.6 out of 5 star rating. One wrote: “This is an excellent product! I’ve noticed a significant reduction in puffiness around my eyes, and they definitely look brighter. I highly recommend it!”
One did comment: “Love this product! My only critique is that the formula is a bit too thin for the applicator – when you squeeze it too much comes out at once, which leads to wasting product. A slightly thicker consistency or a more controlled dispenser could make a big difference.”
Others however raved about it, saying: “Perfect for new moms with dark circles from lack of sleep! Helps put a little pep back in your eyes.”
