Yeah Karen, I don't think you'll have to twist our arm much at all to try a new round of eye gel gumballs! ;)

Sadly, my hoard ran out a couple of months ago :(

Been using Derma E's pycnogenol eye gel since. It works pretty well in depuffing, especially when refrigerated.

Ingredients and what it claims to be able to do as below:

Water (Aqua), Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Pinus Pinaster (Pycnogenol) Bark Extract, Organic Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Organic Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Glycerin, Allantoin, Panthenol, carbomer, Beta-Alanine, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin.

Derma-E Pycnogenol Eye Gel with Green Tea Extract is paraben free and eco-friendly. This oil-free moisturizing eye gel blends 2 powerful antioxidants together into a cooling, healing formula. Pycnogenol, 50 times stronger than vitamin E, and Green Tea Extract gently penetrate your skin to fight the signs of aging by repairing and restoring damaged tissue. Witch Hazel has been added to tighten up the eye area and promotes a smoother appearance. Especially designed for the delicate tissue surrounding the eyes, Derma-E's eye gel helps repair damaged tissue, reduce under-eye puffiness, and eliminate fine lines, wrinkles, and crow's feet.

•Pycnogenol is a super antioxidant 50 times more powerful than Vitamin E.
•This fragrance free and colling eye gel helps repair and protect the fragile eye area.
•Helps trat the appearance of lines, dryness and puffiness.
•Help rebuild collagen to enhance shin's elasticity and tone.
•Eyes look vibrant, rested and younger looking

"Pycnogenol", I have a product w/ this. I didn't realize it is suppose to help w/ puffiness (got it to help w/ brown spots). Will apply and see what happens.
I've really gone to the dark side and have been using a dept store line (got free samples), they have been helping me big time. There is a lot of good stuff mixed w/ bad stuff, but hey it works and was FREE.
I still have my fingers crossed SN will offer their gel for sale.

Hmm, I think Pycnogenol is more of a strong antioxidant than the depuffing agent in that formula :) Not a chemist, but I *think* the depuffing actives would probably be the other ingredients in that mix.

I think all cooling gels will help in depuffing somewhat, but the caffeine or something similar that helps to drain or flush the toxins out would make the difference between a "meh" and a great depuffing gel.

I have also been rationing--using it only on mornings that I need it, which is actually most. I have super-sensitive skin that burns with most eye creams/gels--never a problem with this gel. Oh please, please consider releasing it, Karen! I know some had reactions, but aren't there enough of us who love it to warrant at least a one time fix until you can whip up a new formula that works for all? Pretty, pretty please??!! <insert sad puppy-dog face here>

Add me to the list--I have really missed this gel! It made a huge difference for me, and it did not irritate my undereye area, which is a MAJOR accomplishment!

Please???? <Insert sad, puppy dog face here!!!>
