Clinique Clinique All About Eyes, 0.5 oz (Unboxed)

This eye cream has dimethicone in it, a type of silicone, and I wouldn’t have purchased it if I had just simply read the formula first. This type of silicone does seal in moisture but doesn’t deliver any so it really limits the ability to hydrate the delicate eye area when using it directly after a toner. Dimethicone also makes layering any product useless because it creates a barrier that inhibits absorption of any product following it. With the lack of layering ability, if you blend the cream too low beneath the eye, your finishing moisturizer won’t absorb into that region (maybe no big deal to some). I like to moisturize all over the entire face and around the eye area a bit as a finishing step, so applying this prior to moisturizer doesn’t work for me at all. Dimethicone can even clog pores… idk. I stopped using hair products with dimethicone in them as any next day follow up hair care product only ends up sitting on the hair instead of infusing the hair like we want it to. Idk why it’s beneficial in a skincare formula. Alrighty, my tangent is now over.
