Clinique Moisture Surge Eye 96-Hour Hydro-Filler Concentrate - 15ml

I received a sample of this with a Sephora order and got around to trying it when I ran out of eye cream. This is a clear, gel texture and it seems decently moisturizing. I can’t say it provides moisture for 96 hours and it doesn’t seem to blow me away with any special, noticeable qualities. It does absorb quickly, works well with other products, and doesn’t irritate my very sensitive eyes. I have very dry skin so I could see myself using this with a traditional eye cream on top of it. Until I decide on a new eye cream, I’ll use up my sample. I don’t believe Clinique is without animal testing as a company, so I probably would not buy it unless I learned differently.

I don't understand this product! I picked it up on a recommendation - and I have a few Clinique products which I love and trust so I was excited to try this. However at RRP £30 this is kinda expensive, and you get the standard 15ml of an under-eye product. It claims to "replenish moisture and create a crease-plumping effect to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and dryness... can be used alone or under makeup." Those are definitely the kind of claims I look for in an eye treatment as I have fairly dry under eyes with some fine lines. The product comes in a plastic tube with a pump applicator. I find that 1 pump is plenty for both under eyes. It is a fragrance-free lightweight water-gel texture which applies to the skin beautifully. However, my main issue ... MoreI don't understand this product! I picked it up on a recommendation - and I have a few Clinique products which I love and trust so I was excited to try this.

I find that 1 pump is plenty for both under eyes. It is a fragrance-free lightweight water-gel texture which applies to the skin beautifully. However, my main issue is that I find this product really doesn't dry down. It leaves a tackiness to my under eyes which I don't enjoy. Because of this I can't use it during the day especially if I want to apply makeup as it makes the makeup patchy and picks it up. I have been using this consistently for a number of weeks as you can see from my pictures, but I really haven't noticed any difference in my under eyes. Overall 2ï¸ âƒ£/5ï¸ âƒ£ - the product feels nice and hydrating, however I can only use it at night and I haven't seen a difference in the appearance of my under eyes. I'm still using the product because I have it, but I won't be buying it again.

I'm not vain or obsessed with my looks but I am not a fan of the dark circles and undereye bags/wrinkles that I wake up to these days.I finally bit the bullet and bought Clinique Moisture Surge Eye Filler Concentrate a couple of months ago. It wasn't cheap ($37 for 0.5 ounce) but I was willing to pay to try to improve the eye situation. This stuff works. A little goes a long way (thank goodness!) and it improves the undereye bag/wrinkle situation within the hour. It claims to work for 96 hours with its lipid (aka "fat") spheres but. . . seriously? Who goes around in the world without washing their face at least once every 24 hours? The 96 hour thing isn't a selling point for me. In any case I have been very happy with Clinique Moisture Surge Eye Hydro-Filler ... MoreI'm not vain or obsessed with my looks but I am not a fan of the dark circles and undereye bags/wrinkles that I wake up to these days.I finally bit the bullet and bought Clinique Moisture Surge Eye Filler Concentrate a couple of months ago.

Does not work as intended

I'm very disappointed in this product as I love the other moisture products. The pump on this didn't work correctly. None of the beads were being dispersed at all. Only gel. I kept using it in hopes I just had to pump it more to get them out. The gel doesn't do anything but make my eye area sticky and it's definitely not good for under any kind of makeup as it just makes everything pill up and rub off. I finally got the tube apart because I wasn't about to waste the product I spent money on and even now the beads don't really break open. Just all around terrible product that I definitely would not recommend. Fix your packaging, Clinique.

Excellent product - the added "boost!"

I am an avid fan of Clinique Repairwear Anti-Gravity eye cream but noticed that those pesky little wrinkles around my eyes were still not quite smoothed out as much as I'd hoped. Alaskan weather is extremely drying during our long winters. I have sensitive skin, esp around the eye area, so am always hesitant to try new eye area products. I received a sample of MS Eye 96-hr Hydro Filler eye concentrate and gave it a try. Wow! I was immediately impressed with how it seems to "fill in" those tiny wrinkles, somehow plumping the skin to make them far less obvious - almost gone in appearance. First, I always use Laser Focus Serum on my entire face/eye area - I swear by that product! It soaks right in. Next comes the MS Eye 96 hr. I apply it sparingly (a little goes a long ... MoreI am an avid fan of Clinique Repairwear Anti-Gravity eye cream but noticed that those pesky little wrinkles around my eyes were still not quite smoothed out as much as I'd hoped.

Then a couple minutes later, I apply my beloved anti-gravity eye cream for even more moisture/smoothing. My eye area has never looked younger! I am definitely a "senior citizen" and could tell the 96-hr is well worth the added cost to my routine. I believe it could do enough "solo" for a younger person's eye area. It absolutely tightens and brightens (plus that added hydration). I purchased the full size and plan to also gift it to others - it's THAT good!

Favorite eye cream!

This is my all-time favorite eye cream. I use it every morning and it gives my eye area a healthy, awake look. Fine lines instantly become more "plump" looking and the moisture lasts all day without ever feeling greasy or causing irritation. It works perfectly under makeup and does not cause slippage. I've bought some for my mom and will continue recommending to friends!! I got hooked on this product several years ago after receiving a sample from Nordstrom (back when samples were sent with every online beauty purchase). A perfect example of why they should bring samples back!

Just Meh

I am always on the hunt for a good eye cream but this unfortunately isn't it. I make every effort to buy cruelty-free but was gifted a tube of this eye cream. So Clinique is not cruelty-free. My second point of issue is cost. If this eye cream was super hydrating and long-lasting, cost wouldn't concern me but I think this is one of the worst eye creams I've tried all year and at the highest price point at that. I personally don't like the bursting beads in beauty products but the beads aside, the formula of this is thin, slippery, and doesn't feel like it absorbs well. I tried with and without product under this eye gel but neither approach seems to help it absorb. I've tried water gels that absorb into the skin well and hold moisture all day but didn't have the ... MoreI am always on the hunt for a good eye cream but this unfortunately isn't it.

Who knew my eye-lids were dry?

I bought this after my face started to peel as a reaction to a different facial product. Of course, I had applied that product everywhere (as the instructions said)- including under my eyes. After chatting online with one of the consultants at Clinique (very helpful service), I bought this product and hoped that it would make my eyelids and surrounding area feel more hydrated without feeling oily, or like I had a mask on. I tried using it and after the first day I was blown away. My eye area felt well-hydrated to the touch without feeling oily. I never really thought that my eyes were particularly dry, because they felt like the rest of my face did when I first dried it, but after using this one day I haven't gone a day without it. It does feel a little sticky after ... MoreI bought this after my face started to peel as a reaction to a different facial product.

It does feel a little sticky after you first put it on, but that is gone within about 10 minutes. I use about a cm long strip of it morning and night. It is available as a sample, which I also got with a purchase to use when I travel. It will be in my morning and night routine as long as it's available. I have officially been a Clinique customer for only 1 year, but I danced for 10 years as a kid and have only used Clinique makeup.

are the spheres a crucial part of this product?

I received a sample of this and liked it. I noticed with the small sample I purchased that the little spheres got stuck while trying to use the product and then shoot out of the tube and make a mess. I purchased the full size product and the dispenser gives you no ability to mold the product dispensing. with that said, I have been using it for 2 weeks and I have not gotten a single sphere for application. as far as the actual product, considering I haven’t used any spheres on my face it still seems to be a nice moisturizing product. does not settle well under makeup so I opt to use it only at night and it is a little sticky. maybe in a few weeks I’ll get to actually apply a sphere and hopefully they don’t get stuck in tethered and go to waste. it’s frustrating ... MoreI received a sample of this and liked it.

I guess if you’re lucky enough to actually get one.
