CLINIQUE PEP-START EYE CREAM

The past two and a half years after the birth of my babies I have been a walking zombie. Running after a toddler during the day and nursing an infant at night can be exhausting. My exhaustion began to manifest itself on my face specifically around my eyes. I immediately started my search for an eye cream that would help rectify this issue and I came across Clinique Pep- start eye cream which just launched this summer. In the past, I have tried a couple eye creams and to be honest none of them worked but I wanted to give this a try because at this point I had nothing to lose.  After I received it, I started using it right away. About two weeks later I caught a glance of myself in the mirror and I noticed my dark cycles had diminished drastically. I knew it was the eye cream because my diet or sleep patterns were the same, the only thing change I had made was using Clinique pep- start eyes cream.

CONCLUSION

Pros

My eyes looked rested, I definitely saw a difference between the before and after using the product

It left the skin under my eyes moisturized

It absorbs quickly into your skin without leaving residue

Works good under makeup

Cons

It didn’t get rid of my dark circles completely but I must say it brightened my eyes a tiny bit.

 

Overall I had a good experience with this product; better than I have any other eye cream I have used in the past. I would recommend along with a good diet, hydration and a good amount of sleep/rest in order to see great results.
