Science: Benefit Eye Treatments Reviews by NvWah_Benefit Depuffing Action Eye Gel

The most impressive thing about this product is the anti-oxidant content. So it should do well in terms of preventing the first signs of lines and wrinkles. But it won't do anything to set-in wrinkles. Probably suitable for younger skin.

The second abundant ingredient is silicone which will give an instant smooth feeling but it's only temporary.

Safety alert: Cautious

2nd ingredient		dimethicone is a form of silicone to provide a smooth feeling.

Illness		Triethanolamine is used in cosmetics as a pH balancer. Like all amines, it has the potential for creating nitrosamines. Nitrosamines are readily absorbed through skin and they have been proved to be strong carcinogen. Whether or not the concentrations used in cosmetics should be of concern is still a matter of debate. Better avoid if possible.
Fragrance		Should be avoided by people allergic to fragrance.
Skin irritation		Contains propylene glycol, which is a potent skin irritant and could provoke skin irritation and sensitization at concentration as low as 2%. But it is one of the last ingredients, the concentration may not be high enough to be of concern.
