Clarins Eye Contour Gel

The skin under our eyes is the thinnest skin on our bodies, at just 0.35mm compared with 1.6mm on the rest of our faces, and shows signs of ageing first. With hardly any oil glands, fewer support fibres and subject to a lot of movement (did you know that you blink up to 10 000 times per day ?), no wonder this thin skin is prone to creasing and sagging ! Reformulated with gingko biloba, cornflower, chamomile and aloe, this cooling gel depuffs and erases dark circles. The gel can be applied at any time, even over makeup, but is best used in the morning, when puffiness and circles are most apparent. The Clarins application method is half the trick - gentle pressing movements help to drain the lymph in the eye area, and the active ingredient in the product, gingko biloba, does the rest.

I have used the gel and the balm eye products from clarins. most eye creams are meant for use at night as tgey are very rich. I use the gel in the morning, as it is lighter than the balm. It combats puffiness and dark circles under my eye. This product is not meant to help with wrinkles, it is made with rise water and is meant to cool the under eye area, I like to use it as I like to use a eye cream during the day as well at night,

One of the few Clarins products that I didn't really like - I found it wasn't quite moisturising enough for me. Perhaps it's for younger skin than mine. I eventually used it under another richer eye cream until it was finished.
I'd recommend trying this product in the store before buying it.

I can’t live without eye cream I really feel it refreshes and wakes up the eye banishing dark circle and puffy eyes keeping fine lines and wrinkles away and my normal face cream never touches that area because the skin around the eye is much more thinner and more sensitive so it requires more hydration and something that is absorbed quicker. Nice little applicator tube.Is quickly absorbed and can be used on the lip area which most eye creams are so you can multi task with it by replacing it with your lip balm.I find it a bit too runny though and haven't noticed much results

I love Clarins, and most of my products are from this brand. However, I am not mad about the eye cream. The price isn't too bad compared to what is out there. But I didn't find that I had any results from this product.

I loved using this gel - it was cooling and soothing, and definitely made my eyes looks wide-awake and rested ! I prefer something richer at night, but this is amazing for daytime, and won't make your makeup crease or smudge. I have really sensitive skin and wear contact lenses, and this was great to use.
