This eye cream really is All About Eyes! Despite my growing love of skincare, eye cream is an area I've always been incredibly inconsistent in. I'm a big fan of Clinique skincare and picked up a small container of this during a promotion, and I am so glad I did as it is now a staple in my skincare routine.
Like most of Clinique's products, the packaging of this product showcases classic simplicity with it's clear jar capped with silver lid. I prefer clear packaging since I like how it's easier to see how much product is remaining.
This pale pink eye cream really is soo luxurious and the best I've tried. The formula is silky and light to touch, not quite a gel but not quite a cream either. It's essentially scentless which is my preference for skincare, fragrance for my eyes is a frill I really don't need. A little dab goes a long and this product just melts into the skin, leaving a soft and dewy finish.
My skin has been a lot drier since the seasons changed and the past few weeks I have bee n using this as part of my evening skincare routine as it's such a nice addition before bed and I love to think of it sinking into my skin and working it's magic. I also use it on mornings when my eyes look particularly puffy and this has really helped make me look more awake and refreshed as it does diminish under-eye circles and puffiness. It's pricier than some eye creams but the delicate eye skin really does need looking after and I see this as an investment purchase.
I was lucky enough to get a small sample size of this eye cream from the Clinique counter. They don't usually do that, but due to my super sensitive skin, and the fact I have spent hundreds over the years that has ended up in the bin because I reacted to them, they made an exception. Even the sample packaging is an adorable mini clinique jar! I love their packaging. The pinky, gel like cream feels cool under my eyes, and it soaks in really quickly. There is no greasy,sticky residue left behind at all, and it feels soft straight away. My makeup is sitting much better under my eyes, it used to look quite scaly, as I was working without an eye cream for some time due to my skin flaring up and reacting to most products. Visually, it has definitely made a difference to my under eye ares. I have very dark circles, they aren't puffy, but tend to be more sunken. While I don't expect any product to be able to rectify these, this product definitely helps to improve them!
There is no strong fragrance, which is good for those with sensitive skin like mine!
The price point isn't cheap, and while I desperately want to purchase this, the cost is a definite barrier. So I will be dropping some hints for an upcoming birthday ;)
Tips: you don't need much of this product, even though it is so tempting to slather it all over your eye are because it feels so damn good :)
