I have been using the Origins No Puffery gel mask for a while so I may as well review it! It has been one of my staples for a while now. It usually works! I am being honest here. It does work better than anything else I have tried. However it's not a complete miracle worker. But usually my puffiness goes down at least half within 20 minutes or so. I would say It has impressed me with its de puffing abilities 90% of the time. It has let me down a few times though, when my puffiness was really bad due to lack of sleep and bad eating habits.
Here is how I use it: I simple apply it to my eyes and relax. Usually I take a little nap and prop my head up on a pillow for 20 minutes to allow the puffiness to "drain" while the mask is on. Sounds strange perhaps but it feels like a little spa treatment. Sometimes I will do a face mask at the same time. Then I wash if off and apply my regular eye creams etc... it is so reasonable at only $21 for an ounce in the US. More in Canada of course but still not too bad. Also it is a generous one ounce rather than the typical half ounce. It lasts me 6 months at least, and I am not the type to be stingy when I apply products. |

| I have been using this for awhile also and agree that it really helps with puffiness. I keep it in the fridge so it feels really great after a hot day. It's quite thick, not runny, so you don't have to lie down, you can put it on and still work at the computer which makes me more likely to use it. |

This product works well for many people but in all fairness to others that are considering purchasing it my results weren't good  . It maybe that I need something stronger. One product that has proven good for me is the Oil of Olay eye indiviual pads. If I use them at night I am usually in good shape in the morning. I clip the end and actually get 3-4 different treatments out of each sponge unit.

| No Puffery did not work for me at all. After trying all sorts of eyecreams for my puffy eye lids, I finally found True Radiance eye cream. (Actually "found it" after reading all the raves on this site about it.) Absolutely love it. |

The True Radiance eye cream works for me too in reducing puffiness. However, after it gets absorbed, I feel the skin in the eye area dry. I used 2 different moisturizers and none of them seems to go well with the TR eye cream -the moisturizer just sits there and balls off, which does not happen if used alone. Do you have the same problem? Do you use a moisturizer on top of the TR eye cream and if so, which one? Thanks. |

I read somewhere (probably on EDS) that there are several different reasons for puffy eyes. With me it's the puffiness associated with lack of sleep or not taking my makeup off 
The No Puffery certainly helps me with this. If the puffiness is genetic or because of realignment of fat around the face due to aging (I can't remember the others) then it's likely that no cream will help and you need some stronger tools. |

I think you bring up a good point here. When an eye depuffing or eye bag tuck product are being reviewed it is important to state the eye issue that you have. I have posted before that No puffery didn't work for my but my eye issues...I have the older issue of fat under the eye thing going on. But I know a lot of people swear by No Puffery and if I just had morning puffy eyes it would probably work very well.

| Yeah. I posted the review, and my issue is mostly morning puffy eyes but I think there might be a bit of fat redistribution as well, but it is mostly water retention issues. I always have a little puffiness but ususally people don't notice. If i eat salty foods, drink too much the night before, then my eye area can sometimes blow up like a baloon. I also find that my weight affects my eye puffiness. If I have a couple extra pounds on, I notice that my cheeks look plumper and my puffiness is non existant. If I am working out a lot and my body fat is really low, my puffiness is a constant issue. Fortunately I dont think it it getting worse, because I remember being a lot more obsessed about my puffy eyes when i was 19 than now, at age 26. |

| It's useless for me. I've tried some masks of Origins, and I have to say I don't like the brand. |

| This did nothing me either. I'm not a big fan of origins, except for the ginger essence perfume. I tried several of their products in the past and they just didn't do anything special. |

| To minimise my chances of puffy eyes, I sleep with my pillow a bit raised enough so that my head is above level than the rest. I got this tip from a magazine. |

| Thanks for all the reviews! I wanted to try this product, but most of you seem to say it doesn't work, so I think I will stay away from this one! |

| well, the only thing I like from this brand is the check and balance cleanser......all of the other things are even worse than drug store skincare lines. |

| No Puffery did nothing for me. What works best for me is the Garnier anti-puff eye roller - it feels really good to roll it on too. |

It did nothing for me either. I use Garnier anti-puff eye roller, the green tube.  It's amazing. I love using it so much. |
