Clarins Eye Contour Gel > Reviews (8)

I am a big fan of Clarins products but find them far too expensive to buy them as often as I would like, they tend to be essential items or bought as treats after a busy month at work. After a hectic time at work where I was working 12 hour days my eyes resembled something from a horror film, they were red, puffy and had deep dark bags underneath making me look something similar to my 70 year old grandma and I knew it was time to try something and Clarins Eye Contour Gel came to my rescue, but it came at a price. £15.99 for a small tube of the gel.

When you first use the gel you notice the lack of fragrance and the fact that it seems to slip straight off your fingers it is that watery! Only a small amount is needed and once you have it on your fingertip you need to quickly rub it into the area below your eyes and then onto your eyelids. The gel is absorbed really quickly and there is no irritation at all.

First impressions were that it hadn't done a thing but after using it for 3 to 4 days I noticed that the area underneath my eyes felt tighter and the darker areas had started to lighten. At no point did my eyes feel refreshed but further applications did give a cooling sensation on my eyelids, this was more of a soothing sensation.

After using the gel for two weeks the bags under my eyes had become visibly lighter when looking in the mirror and the redness in my eyes had gone.

I can't fault the gel, it had visible results for me and I am very pleased. The price is expensive and I now only use the gel when my eyes become really red and puffy or after a night out with little sleep and it doesn't take as long to notice the results. It is expensive but worth it for the great results.
