As I noted last week, I recently discovered a new-to-me brand, PURELY BELLA, that was founded by, Cathie Carrier, a licensed esthetician with decades of experience. I am quite impressed by their products, and I loved their PURELY BELLA Dream Skin Night Cream that I already shared with you, and now want to share my review about the PURELY BELLA Tight & Bright Peptide Eye Gel.

About Purely Bella and the Founder, Cathi Carrier, Licensed Esthetician For 32+ Years:

For over three decades I had my hands on women’s faces. I opened my own spa in Old Saybrook and built a practice on one belief: skin tells the truth. I saw what stress did, what sun did, what time did.

Then women in their forties started arriving with a new problem. Dry, dull, reactive, unpredictable. The routine that had served them for years suddenly stopped serving them. I listened, and I wanted better answers for their changing needs.

Hormonal changes can be part of the picture. I wanted effective skincare with clearer guidance for women whose skin had changed.

So I brought my ingredient knowledge and hands-on experience to a team of skincare chemists. Together, we built PURELY BELLA around the needs I had heard about for years.

The room got bigger. The standard did not change. Today PURELY BELLA reaches women beyond my treatment room. I bring the same care and attention to the brand that I brought to the women sitting three feet in front of me.

PURELY BELLA Tight & Bright Peptide Eye Gel is a very lightweight and moisturizing eye gel that melts into the skin without leaving behind a sticky or greasy residue. The metal applicator tip has a cooling effect that helps to de-puff and refresh the under eye area while helping the eye gel absorb into the skin. This is a very concentrated gel, and therefore only a tiny amount is necessary. Rich in peptide duo, niacinamide, astaxanthin, jojoba oil, aloe vera cucumber and centella, this effective antioxidant formula protects the skin against free-radical damage while moisturizing it, de-puffing the skin under the eyes and reducing the appearance of dark circles. Furthermore, it reduces the appearance of fine lines and leaves skin soft, smooth, supple and luminous. I have sensitive eyes, and often worry when I try new eye creams and gels, but I am happy to report that this gel didn't irritate my eyes, or the delicate skin beneath them.

According to PURELY BELLA,

Tight & Bright brings a lightweight moisturizing step to dry, tired-looking under-eyes. A peptide duo, niacinamide, and astaxanthin help support a smoother, more even-looking eye area, while the metal applicator adds a cooling touch.

Benefits & Claims:

Hydrates the delicate under-eye area without a heavy finish.
Helps soften the appearance of dryness-related fine lines.
Supports brighter, more refreshed-looking under-eyes.
A metal applicator adds a cooling touch during application.

Directions: Use a rice-grain amount per eye along the orbital bone, with light pressure. Keep away from the lash line and avoid direct eye contact. Apply before moisturizer in the morning or evening. Patch test first and stop use if irritation occurs.

Key Ingredients and Their Attributes:

Peptide duo: Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 help support firmer-looking skin.
