Clarins Eye Contour Gel

...IT ALMOST IS. The Clarins Eye Contour Gel is specifically designed to deal with puffiness and dark under-eye circles. There are also some other claims made of this product but really I couldn't mention them with a straight face. Oh, okay then, well apparently this gel also "tones the eyelids". That's great, I always wanted people to stop me in the street and go "ooh, your eyelids! Do you work out?". Ahem. The gel is non-sticky and non-perfumed and ...
...more mature skin then the Clarins Eye Contour Balm may be of greater benefit as it is more suited to handling those smile lines around the eyes. The tube is quite small, but the amount you need is also very small. I find one tube lasts a little over 2 months with me. It costs around 12 pounds, but shop around. I usually buy my Clarins products at a Clarins counter because then I can always ask for a load of testers for their other products - hurrah! ...

Review of Clarins Eye Contour Gel

...with the dark smudges. The Clarins Eye Contour Gel was suggested by a counter person. Since then I have tried many Clarins products, but this is one of only 2 I have bought twice. I first purchased this with a moisturiser and received a slew of free samples, and a hand mirror. The second time i received it in a gift pack for christmas. As such, I dont know how much the tube retails for. The gel comes packaged in a 20ml tube with a screw on cap. ...
...has a gold stripe. The text on the front claims in english that it is for "puffiness, dark circles". On the back is the claim that it is made of "Plant extracts: 80%". It does not mention what the other 20% is, although i assume this was on either the outer box or the leaflet which it was packed with, but these are long gone. Sorry. The gel itself is a transparent blue colour. The scent is minimal, as one would expect from any product designed for ...

Review of Clarins Eye Contour Gel

...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 ...
...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 ...

Review of Clarins Eye Contour Gel

For the record I rarely use lotions that describe themselves as a miracle cure but I personally was drawn to the Eye Contour Gel after a prolonged period of staring at a VDU at work for day after day that resulted in my eyes being sore which in turn led to them looking puffy with comparisons being drawn between me and a Giant Panda much to the merriment of colleagues. I bought my gel for £9.99 which seems steep for such a small tube of the gel but ...
...its weight in gold as it gently smoothens, reduces the bags in the eyes and generally makes the whole eye area look a thousand times better. It really does work, and the improvement in the look of my eyes gave me a little boost when looking in the mirror and I wasn't too self-conscious after a day of staring at my VDU. It was a little weird at first as I don't like putting things near my eyes, but the gel is really slippery so it is only a bit worse ...

Review of Clarins Eye Contour Gel

...by the effect. If Clarins had marketed this as a remedy for dark circles I'd give it five stars, as it worked. However as the claim about puffiness was, at least for me, incorrect, I can only give it three stars. As I bought it primarily for the supposed puffiness reduction, I was miffed that it didnt work as they said... Oh, and this product is expensive at a little over £20 at Boots for 20ml. Thats got to be more expensive than its weight in ...

Review of Clarins Eye Contour Gel

...remains one of my favourite Clarins products, and one which I recommend most often. It's a very light, non-greasy and non-sticky gel. It's not for people who need a lot of moisture on the eye area; but if puffiness, dark circles and/or sore eyes are you problem, then this is the product for you. You really only need a tiny bit for it to be effective, but you can pat it on during the day, even over make-up if you're careful, if you work at a computer ...

Review of Clarins Eye Contour Gel

I first purchased this product in April this year. I find the texture of the gel are very cold and non-greasy ... the good thing about it is once you bought the product, surely it will last you for quite a while. I normally applied it over my eye area during morning & evening, only a small quantity would do the trick. In the high street, shop normally sell it for under £20 for 20ml , BUT you can get it cheaper elsewhere like EBAY auction because ...
