Product Reviews: Clinique Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector

What is product?



Even Better Eyes is a product that claims to lighten dark circles by 30% in just 12 weeks. Its plumping hydration makes thin area of eyes very less transparent and the unique cooling massage tip makes tired looking eyes fresh and vibrant. It brightens the skin around eyes by improving the tone and texture.  It is slight oily and so it is difficult to put makeup after application. The color and texture of the cream is just like a concealer that is used to hide dark circles. It doesn't remove dark circles permanently, although it claims to provide instant and long lasting effects. Because of this drawback many users don't want to use this product again. This eye product as the name states only made for reducing dark circles and so you cannot use it for reducing other signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles.


Manufacturer Information:


No proper information about the manufacturer is found anywhere. So it is hard to believe on each and every claims of this product.

Ingredients and how do they function:


Even Better Eyes lacks an important ingredient retinol in it that is almost present in every eye formula. This is just a tinted moisturizer.

This tinted eye cream remove dark circles with the help of its three cosmetic pigments - titanium dioxide, iron oxides and mica. Titanium dioxide brightens the eye area, iron oxides give a light flesh-toned color to the product and the mica adds shine and helps to reflect light away from the dark eye area.

In addition this product doesn't contain anything that removes dark circles permanently. However, the formula includes a beautiful collection of anti-aging ingredients that strengthen skin around eyes. This product only makes dark circles less visible.  In simple words Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector gives a temporary cosmetic effect on your dark circles.

It is recommended to use twice daily or you can also reapply it according to the need. Squeeze gently a small amount of product and glide contoured applicator across the under eye area. Use your finger to smooth until it completely absorbs into the skin.

Benefits:


1. It refreshes tired looking eyes
2. The ingredients used in it make the thin under eye skin less transparent
3. It improves the color of the skin and makes it look bright

Drawbacks:


1. It takes 12 weeks to lighten dark circles
2. It gives temporary results
3. It doesn't contain an important ingredient retinol
4. Color and texture is just like a tinted moisturizer

Conclusion:


Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector instantly brightens the eye area but many users don't like the color consistency of this cream. It improves the thin skin and makes it less transparent. It helps to reduce dark circles but it doesn't remove them permanently. Its formula contains three cosmetic pigments that make the skin soft and radiant but it lacks an essential ingredient retinol that is present in almost every eye products. It only works when the puffiness is due to water retention that causes the skin to swell. This product is for dark circles but it would have been more effective if it could remove them completely. Unfortunately it gives only temporary
