Revew: Clinique All About Eyes Rich Eye Cream

I was a little bit unfortunate in the genetics lottery when I inherited dark undereye circles from my father side. As I approached my mid-20s and with law school, I've noticed that the dark circles got worse.  Add hideous puffiness due to sleep-deprivation, and a bit of fine lines to the equation as well.  So I decided and get myself my first eye cream, the Clinique All About Eyes Rich Eye Cream




Let's get right on to it, shall we?

Product and Packaging:

The product is a very thick formula contained in a tiny, peach-colored jar. (You'd have to make sure to have clean hands before dipping right in.)  There's 0.5 oz or 15 ml worth or product in the jar, which is quite normal for eye creams.   However, The consistency of the cream is so thick that this tiny jar would certainly last for months! Even if I turned the jar upside-down, none of the product would drip off! I've had this eye cream for more than 2 months now, and I've only used up less than a fourth of it.





Claims

The Clinique website claims on this product states that:

Moisture-rich eye cream diminishes the look of undereye circles, shadows, fine lines-instantly and over time. De-puffs, calms with botanicals. Helps boost natural collagen production. Strengthens skin's moisture barrier against common irritants. Ophthalmologist Tested.

The Verdict

The current condition of my skin right now is oily-combination, and it gets oilier during the summer, so I'm just using the eye cream when I won't be wearing any make-up or before I go to sleep. It is a tad too rich for me to be used during the day.

In the times that I've used this product, I did like that:



  • it did lots of improvement in de-puffing the bags under my eyes; 
  • it is very moisturizing and at the same time, does not irritate me;
  • it does not give me milia;
  • it smells good right off the jar, but the scent doesn't bother you upon application;
  • a little goes a very loooooong way; and
  • the packaging is very pretty (I'm a sucker for pretty packaging ^^,).
However, I did not like that:
  • it is very pricey -- I bought this for around $40 at Duty Free (~Php1700.00);
  • the packaging is not hygiene-friendly;
  • it did not get rid of my dark circles (yet);
  • it did have any significant improvement on my fine lines; and
  • my eyelids get very oily if I use this during the day, such that my concealer would just melt off within 2 hours of application
For my first eye cream, I'd give this product 4 out of 5 stars. Hopefully, with longer use, it will prove its claims on reducing my dark circles and fine lines.

Will I recommend this product? Yes. Those with dryer skin than I do will definitely love this product.
