- Rodan + Fields is launching the Instant Targeted Firming Gel on June 1.
- This targeted gel serum is meant to smooth fine lines in minutes.
- The gel is powered by the brand's proprietary RF Firming Complex, a potent combination of four ingredients.
Aging is such an interesting process. On one hand, I know that it's a privilege and want to embrace my natural appearance, but I also find myself obsessing over newly formed wrinkles and slightly sagging skin. At 32, I think I've found a happy medium — I rely on a few units of Botox and a couple of vials of dermal filler per year to keep deep-set wrinkles at bay, along with treatments like laser resurfacing and microneedling to maintain skin texture and tone.
Beyond that, it all comes down to day-to-day maintenance, and I'm all for products that help me prolong the time between dermatologist visits. So, when Rodan + Fields offered to let me try the new Instant Targeted Firming Gel ($105) before it hits shelves on June 1, I was intrigued.
This formula is all about instant gratification — within just five minutes of applying to crow's feet, frown lines, and smile lines, you can visibly see the smoothing and tightening results. If you're wondering how that's possible, look to the proprietary RF Firming Complex: a potent combination of red microalgae, polysaccharides, sea water, and hydrolyzed silk.
The clinically tested gel was created by leading scientists at the Rodan + Fields Berkeley Innovation Center. After several years of research, they found that this combination of ingredients would provide both immediate and long-term results. The red microalgae, polysaccharides, and sea water firm and tighten the skin by forming a lightweight, invisible film on the surface that smooths the skin; hydrolyzed silk is a skin conditioning agent that visibly improves elasticity over time; hydrating polymer softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by providing a fine, translucent layer that mattifies and flattens wrinkles and reduces under eye puffiness; and sea chamomile plumps the skin to minimize the appearance of expression lines and wrinkles over time.
As far as the actual application of the product, a little goes a long way. One pump should cover all the fine lines on your face, and a second could be used for the neck — you want to dab it on gently, like you do an eye cream. Make sure your skin is cleansed, toned, and fully dry when you apply, so that the product can fully absorb, and then wait a few minutes before applying any other products or makeup.
The gel itself is pretty lightweight and has some light-reflecting particles to illuminate your skin even more. It absorbed pretty quickly and without any stickiness, and it didn't pull at my skin like many other instant-firming products do. Overall, after I used it once, my skin felt nice and smooth, and with continued use, I can see the Targeted Firming Gel helping me postpone Botox appointments just a tad longer.

As of late, more mornings than not I’m waking up with puffy under-eyes: Either my 6-month-old didn’t sleep well, I didn’t sleep well (sometimes it feels impossible to shut down my mental to-do list), or perhaps I just ate too much salt the day before and I pay for it the next day. I’ve tried all the caffeinated eye creams, the cooling rollerballs and the skin-tightening TikTok sensations, but this new Instant Targeted Firming Gel from Rodan+Fields has become a fast fave. Here’s why.
My Skin Type:
Combination. I’m drier in the cold-weather months and oilier in the warm-weather ones thanks to the high humidity on the East Coast.
The Benefits:
Inspired by social media trends touting temporary “instant fixes” for stubborn imperfections like under-eye puffiness, bags and crow’s-feet, the team at Rodan+Fields set out to create its own take on the category, and they nailed it. The lightweight gel contains the perfect ratio of film formers to botanicals and algae, which allows it to smooth grooves and lines without making the skin feel pulled too tight or uncomfortable, or leaving behind a film-like residue that flakes if you touch it (more on how to apply it properly and avoid this below). Additionally, not only does it work “instantly” (within five minutes), but if you use it regularly, it also provides long-term skin-smoothing benefits that typically become noticeable after four weeks.
I also like that it’s not meant to be restricted to the under-eye area, and it’s been clinically tested on other spots where we want smoothing, like expression lines between the brows (aka the 11’s), horizontal forehead lines and lines around the mouth called the nasolabial folds. You can apply eye cream and/or makeup on top of it, too, without worrying that it will disrupt the film-forming effects. Rodan+Fields actually did a round of clinical testing with eye cream layered over the dried gel and the results were the same.
There’s an eco-friendly component, too, as there should be with every beauty product created nowadays, in my personal opinion: The formula is refillable and easily pops out of the outer casing when you need to restock (pictured below).
Key Ingredients:
RF Firming Complex (red microalgae, sea water, polysaccharides, hydrolyzed silk), hydrating polymer, and sea chamomile
What It’s Free From:
Parabens
How to Use It:
First let me say, a little goes a long way—this is not a “more is better” product (if you use too much, you could be left with a residue; but if that happens, just wash it off and start over). Start by twisting the bottom to the unlocked position and then push the bottom (it functions like a syringe) to dispense one pump of product. One pump is enough to use under both of my eyes and on my 11’s, so sometimes I don’t even need a full pump and I’ll dispense just enough for my under-eyes only. Make sure you’re applying to clean skin (toner is fine, but no serum or moisturizer on), and use your ring finger to dab a very thin layer on the areas you want to smooth out (it’s not recommended for the eyelids, so avoid those, and it’s not intended for the whole face). It takes a few minutes to dry, during which you should try to minimize your facial expressions so it can settle into grooves and lines and work its magic.
What It Feels Like:
A super light gel that disappears quickly into skin with a bit of a cooling sensation. When I use it under my eyes, I do feel like slightest hint of a tightening effect, but it’s more comfortable than some of the other similar products I’ve tried.
What It Smells Like:
Nothing
The Bottom Line:
When I first received this product to test, I was sure it wouldn’t be something I’d use everyday, but the instant satisfaction is too good to pass up. Give it a try and you’ll see what I mean.
