Super Eye Cream!
-05.09.13
Quick Take: hydrating, absorbs quickly
I really like this Clarins eye cream. It's very light, not greasy, absorbs easily and doesn't make me break out (which I'm prone to do). I'm not old enough to have a lot of wrinkles, but I believe it does a great job moisturizing that tender area.

changed formula
-03.21.13
Quick Take: liquidy, does not moisturize, does not reduce fine lines, does not reduce puffiness
i used to use this cream religiously. it was rich w/o being greasy and tightened and firmed the eye area immediately. but my most recent tube is liquidy and watery. it does nothing for my eye area. clarins - change your formula back! do not waste your money on this product.

My favorite eye cream
-08.30.12
Quick Take: lightweight, effective on puffiness
Once I discovered this eye cream, I fell in love! It is not too heavy, and really helps with puffiness and fine lines.

Not for me
-07.23.12
Really liked the fragrance- light but pretty, and liked the creamy light texture that was easy to apply without tugging at the skin.
However, it caused me to get milia all around the eyes and on the top of my cheekbones.
I stopped and started within it several times because I really wanted to like it, but each time the little white bumps would come back..

Jury is out but
-02.14.12
Quick Take: lightweight
This may be a good product with respect to those lines that form around your eyes, but it does nothing for puffiness and dark circles. Maybe I want a miracle but I don't think so b/c I use something else that works (Original anti-aging - small green tub) (hope it's okay to say that here).

The first week is great.
-02.04.12
The first week or so that I used this eye cream it was perfect. Unfortunately, it's about a month or so later and I really don't like it anymore. I am very choosy about my eye care and this isn't cutting it. I am 20 years old but I struggle with fine lines that really stand out if they aren't moisturized properly. After the first week this cream started drying out my under eyes but I kept using it to give it a fair chance. At this point I am done- it was good in the beginning but now my wrinkles look more prominent than they did when I started it. That's probably due to lack of hydration and apparently not enough firming. I'm not sure if I even want to give this to someone as I usually do with products that haven't worked for my skin type.

Quick Take: lightweight, easy to apply, pleasant fragrance
So far so good. What I like most is the consistancy - silky and easy to apply. It does not drag the skin in this delicate area. To early to say if it does what it says it can. Clarins products always smell so fresh and pleasant. Like better than Perricone.

SAMPLE WAS EXCELLENT - IMMEDIATE TEMP RESULTS SEEN
-10.04.11
Quick Take: lightweight, hydrating, immediate short-term results (sample)
My store sample of Clarins Advanced Extra-Firming Eye Contour Cream lasted for almost a week. While this is no miracle - nothing is - the area around my eyes felt somewhat tightened and looked slightly smoother. I don't have any issues with wrinkles, so can't speak to that aspect. However, I do have some fine barely there lines which seemed to be hydrated enough and holding enough moisture, that they were barely noticeable. This seems to be very good at immediately and temporary disguises fine lines, so I suspect over the long-term this would also be very good.

Great Eye Cream...
-06.19.11
Quick Take: lightweight, hydrating
I like the super concentrated Clarins eye cream a little bit better since it's richer in quality. This eye cream is still great, and better than most on the market as I have tested practically all of them. However, I'll switch to this because of the extra-firm formulation. Use the Clarins extra-firming serum first and then this formula. You can switch with the serum and super concentrated red. I have ecsema, so I need not to irritate my sensitive eyes. Also, use a good eye cover up ... Korres anti-aging or makeup forever eye cream are the best I have found. I tried others, but you need the anti-aging properties that will not dry up the moisture you just gave it with Clarins. Love the Clarins line!!

Nighttime cream
-03.06.11
Quick Take: lightweight, hydrating, rich
I use this at night and the eye contour serum in the morning before my usual moisturizers and it works great. I wake up looking rested and I believe it has helped dimished the appearance of the fine lines around my eye area. I know its pricey but it lasts several months - a little bit is all you need. It's hydrating but absorbs quickly and it doesnt irritate my sensitive skin. The pump dispenser is great, much more sanitary than a tub.

nice texture
-01.09.11
Quick Take: lightweight, rich
This is nice eye cream. It is not greasy so eye make-up applied over it does not smear throughout the day. You only need a small drop for each eye, which is also good.

Quick Take: lightweight, hydrating
This is the most I have ever spent on an eye cream and was hoping for a miraculous difference. This product does work, but I can only say it works about as well as any other I've tried (so far, after about 2 weeks of use), including less expensive items. The consistency is nice though and I love that it comes in a pump rather than a little 'tub'.

Quick Take: hydrating, lightweight
I feel that this one gives more moisture than the day serum, but not as good results. I've been using them both for a couple of months. I love Clarins, but the Clinique All About Eyes is still my favorite. I feel it helps conceal dark circles and puffiness immediately.

Quick Take: hydrating, lightweight, rich
I used Darphin french products line before I switched back to Clarins fine products. I noticed an improvement around my eyes and the cost of the product is much lower than the Darphin product for eye contour.

Excellent...
-09.29.09
Quick Take: hydrating, lightweight
I have been using (every morning) Clarins Eye Contour Cream in conjunction with Clarins Eye Contour Serum (which I use at night) and the visible difference in the fine lines around my eyes is amazing. The changes don't happen overnight...you have to be patient. I think it took about the third week of use before I started noticing a difference. This AM cream works great under makeup...no balling up or showing underneath foundation. It goes on smooth and absorbs quickly. It's great.

Did not work for me
-08.30.09
Quick Take: drying
I love Clarins products and use their face and eye cream. I typically get the $75 dollar eye cream (in the red bottle) and thought I would see if I could save some money with this one. Unfortunately this product was too drying for my eye area and left the corners of my eyes red and flakey. Returned it and went back to the red bottle one. My skin is just a little so sensitive and dry for this product.

Very lightweight and absorbs into skin quickly. No noticeable scent, which I liked. Haven't used enough to notice any difference around eye area.
