PRODUCT REVIEW: CLINIQUE ALL ABOUT EYES SERUM AND RICH FROM ACTIVESKIN

One of the very first Luxe brands I started using decades ago, as soon as I could afford it, was Clinique, and immediately fell in love with their products, and today, many of their products remain among my favourite products which I continue to repurchase again and again. But today, thanks to Activeskin, I am going to talk about two different eye creams, namely, the Clinique All About Eyes Serum De-Puffing Eye Massage and the All About Eyes Rich... 

Let's start with the Clinique All About Eyes Serum De-Puffing Eye Massage, which is a very light eye serum that comes in a roller-ball applicator bottle, which makes it super easy and quick to apply. The roller ball helps to gently massage the eye area, and the ball as well as the serum has a lovely cooling feeling which feels lovely on tired eyes, and I find immediately helps revive and de-puff tired and puffy eyes.

It is contains among others caffeine, potent antioxidants and soothing botanicals, and also helps hydrate the and brighten the eye area, while fighting those dreaded dark circles.

The serum is oil-free and as it is so light, it absorbs so quickly into the skin, so you can apply makeup on top immediately

It can be used both morning and evening, and can even be layered with other eye creams, by using them on top if you like, but personally I find that it is perfect on its own during the day, and for use under makeup, - also because, I find that using too rich eye creams during the day can interfere and no to mention reduce the wear of my makeup.

It has a slightly odd scent, but certainly one that you can tolerate, also as it fades quickly, but apart from that, I am really enjoying this eye serum with everything from the roller applicator, to how silky soft and smooth it makes my eye area feel, and of course not to mention, helps make my super tired and tired eyes look a little more awake each morning.

Then there's the Clinique All About Eyes Rich, which is kind of at the other end of the scale, as it is a very rich and thicker eye cream that provides intense moisture to the eye area (note that it also comes in a normal version if this is too rich for your skin) - and while I have combination skin, I do feel that I need that extra moisture around my eye area. In spite of this eye cream being so rich, it is not greasy, and still absorbs fairly quickly into the skin. It promises to help diminish the look of under eye circles, shadows, and fine lines-immediately and over time, while helping to protect natural collagen production and strengthens skin's moisture barrier, as well as de-puffing the eye area thanks to the added soothing botanicals.

It can be used morning and night, but as mentioned above, I prefer to use the eye serum on its own under makeup, so I have been using this predominantly as a night eye cream, and only during the day on the days I've been makeup free at home. That said, the few occasions where I have used makeup on top, it hasn't caused any issues, as again, while is rich, it isn't greasy.

And I can clearly see that my eye area is loving this intense moisture as it is obvious that it is plumping my skin, making my lines look less noticeable, and therefore fresher and I guess I can say more well rested each morning too.

These two eye creams are very different in their consistency, and benefits too - but I actually love using both, and find it hard to say which I like the best as I feel the All About Eyes Serum De-Puffing Eye Massage is fantastic for use during the day under makeup, while the All About Eyes Rich gives my eye area that little bit of extra TLC during the night. I can easily see myself repurchasing both again!
