My first contact with Clinique was 5 years ago when I was in need of an efficient eye cream and I’ve chosen the ‘All About Eyes’ cream which brought me a lot of happiness.
I still recommend this product because it is one of the most efficient eye creams I’ve tried so far, especially when you’re dealing with puffy eyes.
Clinique Pep-Start Eye Cream (€21,90/ 15ml) | generated a lot of agitation within social media since its launching and I was VERY curious to be able to test this new product in order to express my own opinion here on the blog, of course.

First of all I must say that I simply love the package because it’s ergonomic, the tube has the perfect size in order to be easily carried in the luggage while travelling.
Also, the ball-like applicator gently massages the eye area, it cools and deflates puffy skin (even more when you keep the product in the fridge). The formula is very light, lotion-like, discreetly pearlescent.
It absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave any sticky or greasy residue at the surface.
The product is perfume free and very gentle to the eye area; I have very sensitive eyes and wear contacts every day, still this product is very comfortable and I can only recommend it for people with sensitive eyes.
This product:
- hydrates;
- smoothes fine lines;
- has slightly firming effects;
- refreshes because the formula has a cooling effect; I recommend for the product to be kept in the fridge for even more effective refreshing results;
- is slightly illuminating;
- makes a great makeup base;
- is overall a great product for the warm season.
Conclusion
I think that Clinique Pep-Start Eye Cream is a great product and in my opinion it’s perfect for people between the age of 18-40 and/ or for people who don’t deal with deep wrinkles around the eye area.
It is great for those of you who deal with combination, normal and oily skin, however I don’t think it’s enough hydrating for people who deal with dry skin.
It doesn’t have an impressive effect on puffy eyes, it slightly de-puffs after massaging the eye area with the applicator, however, when you are dealing with really puffy eyes, like I do, the effects disappear after a very short while.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I always had under eye bags and I know mine won’t disappear, however there are other products (like for example the ‘All About Eyes’ product) which are more effective regarding this issue.
Have you already tried this product? What is your favourite eye cream?
