Boots fans 'ditching concealer forever' for £5 gel that banishes dark eye circles

Skincare fans have been heaping praise on a cheap tube of gel that they say instantly gives them a more 'youthful' appearance by banishing dark and puffy eye bags.

Beauty enthusiasts spotted the £5.33 Simple Protect 'n' Glow Brightening Eye Gel which they have hailed as a "lifesaver" and "must-have" for anyone with tired and dull skin around their eyes.

The product by the cult brand says it will boost the hydration levels and brighten your eyes, while also helping to visibly reduce dark circles and provide antioxidant benefits.

Designed for hard-working, screen-stressed eyes, the Simple Protect 'n' Glow Brightening Eye Gel has a lightweight cooling gel texture and is perfect for anyone with sensitive skin. It is also incredibly versatile, as the website explains that the eye gel can be used in three different ways; as a brightening gel in the morning, a hydrating primer before makeup or throughout the day as a soothing treatment for your eyes.

Shoppers who have purchased the £5.33 Simple Protect 'n' Glow Brightening Eye Gel have flocked to the Boots website to leave glowing five-star reviews, with many claiming they no longer need concealer to hide dark and puffy bags under their eyes.

One five-star review read: "I loved this product. Definitely one to have for the spring//summer seasons. No more dark circles and leaves such a lovely glow. It’s very lightweight and has a subtle fragrance which I like. You also don’t need to apply a lot just a few wee spots on the eye area and that’s you looking fresh. Would come in handy for traveling as it helps give you the great night sleep look."

A second happy shopper wrote: "Goes on like a dream and not sticky at all absorbs straight away and helps give you a fresh eyed look I noticed a difference with the fine lines on the corners of my eyes after a few days of using so I will be using this religiously once this tube is needing replaced."

While a third said: "I absolutely love this Simple eye brightening gel. My eyes were looking tired and dull with dark bags underneath from constantly working on a computer. Makeup looked awful as nothing would cover up the bags. I tried this gel and thought if expensive concealers won't do the trick, I'm sure this gel won't do much. I've never been so happy to be proven wrong! Not only has the puffiness and darkness totally disappeared, I look more radiant and youthful! Honestly, I've been raving about this to all of my family and friends! For something so small, it really packed a punch and brightened up my eye area. Amazing product!"

A fourth exclaimed: "Let me be the first to tell you. This product WORKS Wonders for my eyes. I had been searching for something for a while and came across this. My friends couldn't believe how my eyes looked full, refreshed, well-nourished, and top it off, the huge impact with vitamins C & E and the prize of GINGER which gives me a more youthful look. So glad I got this. Will rush back to the store to get 3 more (on sale) before they run out. A MUST HAVE PRODUCT!!!"

You can purchase the £5.33 Simple Protect 'n' Glow Brightening Eye Gel from Boots' website. The eye gel is also currently available as part of the retailer's where shoppers can save 1/3 off certain Simple branded products.
