Clinique's Pep-Start Middle Cream

After late noticing some dryness inwards my under-eye area, I decided it was fourth dimension to invest inwards an optic cream that I could role both hateful solar daytime in addition to night. After seeing the issue of Clinique's novel 'pep-start optic cream', I idea I'd run into what all the fuss was about...and I dearest it.

I convey dabbled alongside eye-creams earlier but past times no agency religiously, in addition to I haven't loved a production plenty to role it daily, permit solitary hateful solar daytime in addition to night. This production was dissimilar from the begin in addition to I've used a whole subway throughout the final vi months in addition to already repurchased. Like many makeup hoarders, I rarely completely role upward products every bit I convey hence many.

The claims: "Just iii seconds to hold off broad awake, refreshed. Hydrates, brightens, perks y'all up. Its cool behave on in addition to de-puffing tip assistance perish on eyes looking fresh. Smooths the way for makeup, too." - Clinique

Clinique recommends using the ball applicator to disperse the cream nether the eye, but I prefer to mash some production out in addition to dab lightly alongside my telephone finger nether my eye. It glides on easily in addition to is a sparse plenty consistency to sink inwards quickly, without feeling viscid or tacky, leaving simply the right total of hydration to apply foundation in addition to concealer nether the eyes.

It's of import to me that products nether the optic are fragrance-free every bit I convey sensitive pare in addition to the pare beneath the eyes is peculiarly delicate, hence it ticks a box for me that the pep-start optic cream contains no fragrance. It also contains glycerin, squalene in addition to dimethicone, which are known for their moisture-retaining properties. 

Although I definitely concur alongside Clinique's claim that the cream is refreshing in addition to hydrating, I can't state I concur alongside the brightening claim. I ever yet opt for a corrector & concealer combo if I desire to hold off bright-eyed in addition to bushy tailed afterwards a belatedly night.

Although I don't shout out back the cream lives upward to all of the claims, I shout out back if you're looking for a hydrating eye-cream, that works every bit a keen base of operations for makeup, in addition to hence I'd definitely recommend giving this ane a go.

• Hydrating

• Good base of operations for make-up in addition to under-eye concealers

• Contains plant-based antioxidants in addition to peptides

• Packaging type protects production from lite in addition to air, keeping it fresher for longer

• Fragrance free

Cons:

• Not every bit brightening every bit I'd hoped

• Plastic applicator non every bit cooling every bit a metallic roller-ball fashion applicator
