Clinique All About Eyes Rich Cream // Review

I am gonna take you decades back, to the year 1997; I was 19, 2nd year graduate student at the University of Patras. It was a cold and wintery afternoon, when I went for chat + coffee to my friend's house, who was living with her family at the time. While we were sitting in their living room, her mom passed through and said in a very sweet and very mumsy tone of voice: "This Christmas you should buy yourselves an eye cream. You must apply it twice a day every day, in the morning after brushing your teeth and at night before going to bed. Go to the Clinique counter and invest in All About Eyes. Thank me later!". My friend and I were like "What was that all about?". To cut the long story short, we followed her advice, we got the cream and since that day I have never parted ways with All About Eyes, only for very short periods of time, when trying and testing out other eye creams for the blog. 

At first, I bought the simple one (All About Eyes) that feels like gel and is very lightweight, but not long after turning 35 I replaced it with the rich version (All About Eyes Rich), which is more creamy and full. I have discovered quite a few good eye creams over the years, however, this one I can never do without. I love it because it is hydrating for a very long time, longer than the most eye creams I have tried so far, doesn't cause irritations on my very sensitive skin around the eyes (I used to get eczema and dermatitis very often) and leaves skin very elastic. It is my first "grown-up" skincare product I ever tried and have been using it for almost 24 years non-stop.
