Clarins Sun Wrinkle Control Eye Contour Care Review

To start off, I must say it is quite funny that I ordered this product, when I already had one from the Sephora Sun Safety Kit. I completely forgot I had one in there. :(  I think of this product like a gentle eye sunblock, because of the 100% mineral filters. The Mineral filters create a physical barrier between your skin and sun rays, making it more effective then using sunscreen alone. Sunscreen requires reapplication, because it is a chemical that breaks down. The mineral filters in this product increase the eye protection. So, I am really enjoying the protection it provides for my eyes. Not to mention,  I have not experienced any burning, redness or irritation. It comes with  SPF 30 and 100%  mineral filters.

You basically get a white and orange tube that releases  product out quickly. It is a soft, white, some what liquidy substance. So, Instead of holding it from the end down, I hold the tube with the tip facing up. This helps control how much product comes out of the tube. If too much product oozes out, stop squeezing the tube and most of the product will fall back in. I like that the soft cream is light, non-greasy and absorbs right into my skin. You will notice a slight white film as the product absorbs; gently work it in with your ring finger.

Pros:
Has spf 30
100% mineral filters that create a barrier from the sun
no burning, itching, redness (any irritation)
good size at 0.7 oz, so you can place it in your purse
non-greasy and light
absorbs into the eye area

Cons:
liquidy
dispenses more product than needed
a bit expensive
can be messy
