Clinique eye cream

After a certain age, caring for the skin around the eyes at home should become an integral part of self-care. Thus, at any age you will look well-groomed and attractive. Clinique Eye Cream is truly a very high-quality cosmetic option for the eye area.

Features and Benefits

This company also produces products for the care of the area under the eyes that are quite high quality and good. Such funds have their own characteristics. As you know, the skin under the eyes is thinner than on the rest of the body. Due to the fact that the skin is as thin as possible and does not have a fat layer underneath, it sags faster than the epidermis in other areas.

Therefore, in order to look good, you need to nourish and moisturize the area under the eyes in time. An important role is played by what product you choose and how carefully you apply it. The cream should not be rubbed in too hard, as this will only stretch the dermis faster.

As for choosing the right creams, it is also important not to make a mistake. A bad cream will only harm sensitive skin. Clinique products are as safe as possible and have a good composition. The creams are suitable for caring for any type of skin, from dry to oily. The product affects the epidermis as gently as possible. It tones and moisturizes it.

In the article I wrote in detail about some structural and physiological features skin around the eyes and about what we would like to see in the composition of the cream for the care of the skin around the eyes.

Unfortunately, the composition of many products for skin care around the eyes does not meet these wishes and therefore makes their use pointless. Sometimes it is even better to get by with a moisturizing cream for the skin of the face, applying it to the area around the eyes, rather than purchasing a special cream for this area.

Let's see what the company offers us Clinique and how its means for skin care around the eyes from those we considered earlier.

Review

I want to share my impressions of using Clinique eye cream.

What we initially have: problem-free skin around the eyes, neither dry nor oily. No wrinkles are observed, but age (25 years) is already pushing me to choose the right care. A slightly noticeable blue under the eyes is perhaps the only thing bad that can be said about the skin (but I’ve had it for as long as I can remember, so I don’t expect miracles from the cream). In general, I wanted to get nutrition and hydration, without having to fight with anything.

I liked the testers of this cream. Light texture, odorless, the cream is quickly absorbed. Since I only apply the cream in the evening, I can’t say how the makeup behaves. Whether the skin became more hydrated after care is also a question. The cream did not remove the blue under the eyes, I did not set such a task, but nevertheless I thought, what if.)))

And everyone would be happy with this cream if after a month of use I didn’t notice that in the morning my eyelids become heavy and periodically hurt. At first I didn’t think about cream, I rather sinned on decorative (although I haven’t changed my pencil/mascara/eyeshadow recently). For the first time in 25 years, spotty redness, similar to pimples, appeared on the upper eyelid (they were removed by clinique anti blemish spot). I wake up with swollen eyes, the manufacturer, on the contrary, promises the elimination of swelling, and not its acquisition. I suffered so much for a week to eliminate the influence of bad decorative products, cycles, computers and other harmful factors on my eyes.

There is only one conclusion. Harmful factor - cream.

I felt him when he first came out. I liked the texture, but something put me off buying it. And even more so after your review. A cream for 1,500 rubles should not behave as you describe. Eh, I’ll stick with my sea buckthorn eye cream from the Kingdom of Fragrances.

I’m embarrassed to ask - do you happen to apply cream to the moving eyelid? You just need to apply it over the bone, then the likelihood of swelling is minimal, and the required amount of product will be distributed on its own over the skin.
If it’s bad at night, switch the cream to daytime, during the day you also need moisturizing and it definitely won’t be superfluous, in addition, reduce the amount of cream to just a little, try to apply it every other time. It looks like your skin is over-fed, you need to rest. Well, give it a second chance in the fall or winter, the heat can also play a negative role. It's a shame when a cheap product fails.

Nope, it doesn’t affect where you apply it. This is a cream I had from a set of miniatures, fortunately, it was not expensive (700 rubles for everything - two creams, mini mascara)))))

Pure IMHO, of course, but sometimes the shape of the eyes also affects. I have deep-set ones, and what the manufacturer promises “against swelling”, in his understanding - to tighten the skin, results in swelling of my eyelids - and why, the skin seemed to stretch, they weren’t deceived. Apparently some ingredient works this way, I would like to know which one and avoid it. Most often, from experience, such creams have a light texture. The only thing here is to try new things, find yours, and read reviews if anyone has met

But with thick and oily textures, your advice works great, but not with this cream.

Offtopic, I just proceed from the needs of the skin, if the skin dries inside the orbit of the eye, I apply it. But just on the bone, the cream won’t get anywhere, well, at least for me, again, the individual structure of the eyelid and bones of the eye socket. Although I now have three creams for different textures and densities, I mostly forget about them and apply the cream to my face and eyelids too.
