For anyone dealing with pesky morning under-eye puffiness, facial redness, or even the irritation of rosacea, The Depuffer is a must-have. Whether you’ve just had a cosmetic procedure done or pushed yourself through a hardcore workout, this serum is your go-to for calming and cooling stressed-out skin. It tackles under-eye puffiness and facial redness like a pro in a heartbeat.
what it does
The Depuffer is primarily a serum and targeted treatment while the metal roller is a bonus to enhance circulation and lymphatic drainage. It’s designed with the genius in mind to depuff and deflush, fighting undereye swelling and facial redness.
Ingredients
The formula packs a punch with Arnica Montana for swelling, Centella Asiatica to calm redness, Ash Bark Extract to ease puffiness, Niacinamide for a touch of brightening, and Squalane for its hydrating properties. You can use the serum morning or evening, but let’s be real, most of you will reach it in the morning for under-eye puffiness.
Arnica Montana
There’s been some concern about using Arnica Montana daily. While it’s known for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties, the word is that regular use might irritate the skin for some.
This serum packs 7% Arnica Montana, which Dr. Idriss assures is safe, supported by her own independent clinical testing but daily application remains a bit of a gray area and could still lead to irritation. I’d recommend skipping daily use just to be cautious. Why risk it?
If you continue to use Arnica Montana, do so carefully. Always do a patch test. Some people might be allergic to Arnica Montana.
Packaging
The serum comes in a plastic tube with bold packaging that shifts from sherwood green to a vibrant turquoise. The metal ball helps with the cooling and soothing effects it promises. It’s virtually scent-free, contains no alcohol, and is cruelty-free—check, check, check!
You twist the cap to open it for the serum to dispense, then close it back up after use. That said, I was a wee bit concerned about the roller and whether it could spread bacteria back into the tube after use. Well, it can be a concern, but it’s not always a major one. Most serums are formulated to be stable and resistant to contamination.
Tip 1: Repeated contact with the skin, especially if the roller is used directly on the face, can introduce bacteria. If the roller isn’t cleaned properly, it could transfer bacteria back into the bottle, which might compromise the product over time. Just be mindful to clean the metal roller with a napkin and close the cap tightly after use to limit exposure.
Tip 2: Dispense the serum first on the back of your hand rather than applying it directly to the face.
