The most abundant ingredient in this product is silicone. So it could be expected that skin will feel instantly smooth and velvety using this eye cream, fine lines could even seemed to be filled in. But the effect of silicone is just temporary and overdose runs the risk of clogging pores.
There are many good moisturizing factors including whey protein. It is impressive to see that Clinique put in skin-affinitive water-binding molecules. For example, phytosphingosine is fatty alcohol that has water-binding qualities. Cholesterol is the natural constituent of skin barrier so it maintains the skin normal function. It is also a stabilizer, emollient, and water-binding agent. Linoleic acid is unsaturated fatty acid used as an emollient and thickening agent in cosmetics. It may also help cell communication and maintain skin-barrier. Besides it has some antioxidant and an anti-inflammatory properties.
This product is more suitable for skin that requires moisturizing and age prevention by antioxidants. The ingredient scutellaria baiccalensis extract, also known as skullcap extract, is derived from scutellaria baicalensis that has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties for skin. Besides there are also vitamin E and C content. But this eye cream will not help with set-in wrinkles or dark circles.
