You know that feeling you get leading up to something exciting? That happy, butterflies-in-the-stomach, can’t-focus-on-anything else feeling? And then that something exciting arrives, and you’re kind of left disappointed? That rollercoaster of emotions is how I always feel with eye creams. I find one that I’m totally giddy about, but after I use it, the feeling wears off. Often I’ll try to convince myself that the formula is actually great (it’s not) and that I am seeing results (I’m not). Eventually, I’ll decide to just finish the thing because I hate the thought of wasting it. But I’m never fully satisfied. Ring a bell?
Don’t worry. Finding a go-to eye cream is challenging with a capital C. There’s so much to think about. Is the formula right? Are the ingredients powerful? Are there visible results in less than a month? What about the price? Well, I’m happy to report that after years and years (and years) of trying hundreds of eye creams, guys, I think I’ve finally found the one. And I’m not alone. If you don’t believe me, keep scrolling to check out the glowing review from Who What Wear’s editor in chief, Kat Collings.
Meet Clarins new Double Serum Eye ($79), the latest product launch inspired by their worldwide best-selling Double Serum ($128). “Even though I’d never used Clarins before, I was drawn in for a few reasons,” says Collings. “Double Serum has a huge cult following. I wanted to take my eye care to the next level, and the new Double Serum Eye took years to launch. I just felt it was finally go time.”
“Results are the most important to me, so I like that the eye cream is doubly potent with a two-in-one formula that has a total of 13 age-defying plant extracts. The delivery system has two chambers: one that holds water-soluble ingredients and one with oil-soluble ingredients, and they combine when dispensed, mimicking the skin’s water-and-oil nature. In other words, the product is ‘speaking the same language’ as your skin, so it can work in perfect alignment with the delicate eye area,” Collings explains.
“The formula has everything from turmeric, which is great for reducing inflammation, to organic wild chervil, which has a protein crucial for maintaining skin structure around the eye,” says Collings. Some other product details that completely won her over? “It protects against blue light (a must with all my screen time), and it works super well as a primer, creating the ideal canvas before makeup. As someone who has drier skin that occasionally can flake around the eye area, the hydration benefits are exceptional.”
“I could wax poetic about the product itself forever, but can we also talk about the unique Clarins application method that focuses on lymphatic drainage? After mixing the product and warming it between your fingers, you gently press it into the skin from the inner corners of your under-eye and eyelid out to your temple. They also encourage finishing with a few taps between your eyebrows to help tackle those 11s. I’m hooked on it, and I love that it feels like a self-care ritual,” says Collings.
“I’ve been using Double Serum and the new Double Serum Eye for a little over a week. In the scheme of skincare, that isn’t very long, which is why I was so impressed when I noticed a visible difference so soon. My fine lines were, dare I say, finer, and I even earned a few compliments from my colleagues about how my skin looked ‘radiant and extra hydrated.’ I’d say they were just trying to flatter me, but they didn’t even know I was testing a new eye cream. Finally, I swear I had to use less concealer on my under-eyes. Not having to bother with as much makeup because your skincare is that good? Now that’s what I’m talking about.”
I told you Collings had a glowing review. So now that you’ve made it this far, I’m going to go ahead and assume you’re sold and want a bottle of your own. Have at it!
