Seriously, why don't more companies manufacture eye product with SPF protection?
This eye cream isn't a replacement for other eye treatments because it's not quite moisturizing enough for my personal needs. Right after cleansing, I apply a small drop of meadow foam seed oil around eyes followed up by an anti-aging eye serum by Janson Beckett.
After sunscreen on face and primer have been applied, gently pat one small dot--(think of short grain rice!)under eye and over the lid. Be careful not to use too much or it will ball up under eye primer and eyeshadows. I consider this as the final step of skincare routine prior to makeup application.
This tube is pricey but considering how little you'll use, it will last a long time. Have been using this daily for over 1 month; it's likely this tube will last for 6. |

Murad also has an eye cream with SPF 15. I also agree it's a good idea to use some sort of sunscreen under your eyes. If I had done this earlier in my life, maybe I wouldn't be dealing with the extent of under eye wrinkles that I have now! 
Sun glasses can make a difference too! |

Why can we not use a regular face sunscreen under the eyes?
The Clarins website says it is 100% mineral but does not disclose all the ingredients. |

Hi RussianSunshine,
I'm sure that you can. I just want something that adds a little "treatment" to my eye area too! |

I can use facial sunscreen under eyes, but have experienced irritation when formula applied to eyelids runs into my eyes. Clarins Eye Contour is much thicker and stays put.
Grr... I hate it when ingredients aren't posted online, so I looked at the box this came in. Typing ingredients below, scuse in advance for any typos. 
Active Ingredient: 8.1% Titanium Dioxide
Inactive Ingredients: Water- cyclopentasiloxane- aluminum starch octenyl- succinate-polyglyceryl-3polydimethylsiloxethyl dimethicone- propylene glycol- butylene glycol- aluminum hydroxide-stearic acid- sodium chloride- peg/ppg-20/15 dimethicone-peg/ppg-18/18 dimethicone - caprylyl glycol- tocopheryl acetate- ethylparaben - disodium edta - methylparaben - mannitol - glycerin - rosa centifolia flower extract - clyclodextrin - pisum sativum (pea) extract - cassia alata leaf extract - platanus occidentalis bark extract - olea europea (olive) leaf extract - yeast extract - dextrin - hydrolyzed adansonia digitata extract.
I KNEW there was a reason to save all the boxes product comes in!

| athena123, thank you. It probably took you forever to type this long list of different silicones. At least there is no fragrance in this cream. |

You're welcome RussianSunshine! Yes, a lot of silicones but the prospect of silicones in hair and skin products no longer bothers me as it once did. It's my understanding that most silica components are inert; non-reactive and provide the cosmetic elegance non-silicone based formulas often lack.
The one thing I'm not sure about yet is how well this will hold up in high temperatures. Within a couple months, I'll be in a better position to provide an update to this effect.

I used this some years ago when I felt like I wanted a separate sunscreen designed for the eyes. my eyes were also more sensitive back then. The clarins one has a high spf for an eye sunscreen, and i used it exactly as that--sunscreen. It definitely isn't an eye cream like athena mentioned.
Nowadays, I just use my regular sunscreen around the eyes (unless i am using devita's --the fumes from devita do irritate my eyes).
If you're looking for an eye sunscreen, the clarins one is quite good. |
