I was in a high-end department stores shopping around when some how ended like always talking about skin, aging, and lifestyle but this time the lady I was talking with was wearing a white lab coat, which is the trademark worn by Clinique Consultants worldwide. Clinique Laboratories, LLC is an American manufacturer of skincare, cosmetics, toiletries and fragrances, and also is a subsidiary of the Estée Lauder Companies being the third brand that was “born” from the Lauder Group after Estée Lauder and Aramis. Bottom line I ended spending $50+ in one of their products.
The packaging
I gave me this jar of Clinique All About Eyes as a gift in despite the fact that it’s in a jar is a complication. You should be aware that when skin care products are in a jar, the light and air exposure decreases the ingredients’ effectiveness.
The ingredients
Is rich in antioxidants such as moss extract that promotes blood circulation and other antioxidants such as pomegranate and tangerine extracts or grape seed extract; rosemary extract in order to soothe inflammation; Most of these ingredients aim to repair damage caused by ecological factors and free radicals, and may help preserve healthy skin longer. Also, Clinique All About Eyes contains ingredients like caffeine to reduce inflammation and soothe skin, nice! Only thing what worries me is some of the chemicals they use.
Applying
With ring finger, apply sparingly to entire eye area using a gentle patting motion. However, I recommend to wash your hands with green tea before and apply the cold bags of it to your eyes before applying it.
The results
Clinique All About Eyes delivers moisture and provides that silky skin feeling. Another thing I loved is how changes how light is reflected off shadowed areas like undereye, which makes areas prone to dark circles appear brighter. I truly value its brightening capabilities.
The downsides
Repairing aging skin will be brief. As a result, you may have to keep re-applying the cream, and if you have sensitive skin, some of the citrus-based ingredients may begin to cause irritation.
Something I should point out though is that as I know Clinique is a company that performs animal testing.
Conclusion
My skin looks better! The skin around my eyes felt soft and smooth enough. And I know it wasn’t supposed to do much in the way of fine lines, but on the days when I used this I appreciate they were less noticeable.
One concern is there is quite a bit of silicone in the formula, and I know that prolonged silicone use on skin (especially near the eyes) can be damaging over time.
