TikTok’s Favorite Eye Cream Is Nowhere To Be Found, But These 5 Alternatives Are Just As Good
ICYMI (which, you’d have to be living under a rock without cell service to), there’s a new viral TikTok beauty find that’s breaking the internet. Peter Thomas Roth’s Instant Firmx under-eye tightening gel has always been an anti-aging staple, but last week when 54-year-old TikToker @trinidad1967 posted a video of the product in action, it blew up. In the clip, she applies the cream to her under-eyes and the bags below practically disappear in under 3 minutes. It’s seriously some skincare sorcery. So far, her video has garnered more than 23 million views and has, of course, caused every Person Online out there to buy the product.
Unfortunately, this means that the miracle gel is sold out practically everywhere — Ulta, Target, Sephora. Even on the PTR website itself, there’s a big bold disclaimer that states the brand is: “experiencing shipping delays” and “are working urgently to ship your order as quickly as possible.” Ugh. The power and peril of TikTok.

Neutrogena’s under-eye gel relies on the power of hyaluronic acid (the ingredient in so many serums that gives your skin hydration and bounce) to de-puff your skin and leave it looking “10-15 years younger,” according to one reviewer.
