Leave Your Bags Behind! CLINIQUE’S ALL ABOUT EYES RICH Reduces the Appearance of Dark Circles, Puffiness, Under-Eye-Bags & is Highly Recommended by Whom You Know

The skin around your eyes can never be too rich, but you don't want it to be dry, thin or wrinkly so we are pleased to tell you about the latest in the Clinique Hit Parade: All About Eyes Rich.  We are all about it, and we want to keep our bags in our hands.  
There are some bags you want: the Hermes Birkin bag, Chanel quilted bags, the Dior Gaucho bag, Fendi baguettes, Balenciaga fringe bags and Judith Leiber minaudiere. All the bags we know and covet. But there are some bags you don’t want to carry with you!


Help say goodbye to the look of dark circles, puffiness and under-eye bags by saying hello to All About Eyes Rich, a popular addition to Clinique’s wildly successful All About Eyes franchise. Statistics show that 90% of people have dark circles around their eyes at one time or another. All About Eyes Rich is formulated to create a delicate balance of under-eye care with a multi-purpose approach. 


The Culprits


The delicate and vulnerable skin around the eyes is roughly ten times thinner than the skin on the rest of the face. Because it is thinner, it tends to be one of the first places to show visible signs of daily damage and aging. It’s also a fact: skin around the eyes has fewer oil glands so it lacks the natural surface lubrication present on other parts of the face. As women age and produce less estrogen, skin looses its ability to retain water and becomes even drier, thinner and less firm. Caused by both internal and external aggressors, under-eye dark circles can be exacerbated by factors such as sun exposure, pollution, smoking, stress, fatigue, squinting and even blinking.


Puffy eyes are also the result of trapped fluids in the tissues under the eyes. Slow blood flow and a build up of lymphatic fluid can cause swelling and make the eye area puffy. 


Add to this other possible causes and your under-eye area can become an eyesore! Heredity, environmental and food allergies, lack of sleep, pregnancy, menstruation and certain nutritional deficiencies, all add up to dark circles, puffiness and under-eye bags.


Extra Moisture, Extra Benefits


All About Eyes Rich is the perfect companion to the light-weight gel formula of All About Eyes but for those who crave even more, intense, luxurious moisture! When our dry-skin consumers told us they wanted more moisture, we listened. And All About Eyes Rich is the perfect answer. This soothing, moisture-rich formula glides effortlessly across under-eye skin and eyelids to leave it feeling fully moistened, comforted and hydrated. The pale peach cream delivers an advanced eye treatment designed to target dark circles and puffiness with an extra punch of moisture, All About Eyes Rich will help your skin feel protected, nourished and revitalized.


Eye Know-How from the Experts at Clinique


No matter what the cause, dark circles and under-eye puffiness are the #1 beauty complaint among women. And let’s face it: almost everyone has dark circles and under-eye puffiness at one time or another. Thanks to the skincare experts at Clinique and a multi-tasking, multi-purpose formula, All About Eyes Rich:




Helps diminish the appearance of under-eye dark circles over time and reduce puffiness using Coleus Barbatus which promotes healthy skin in the eye contour area and Glycosaminoglycans (GAGS) coupled with Phytosphingosine to help strengthen skin’s structure and help diminish the appearance of dark circles. This combination of ingredients increases skin’s thickness so that it is stronger and dark circles appear less obvious.


Restores maximum hydration to parched and irritated eye area skin with a unique combination of lipids including Cholesterol, Potassium Sulfate, and Special Lipid Blend which mimic natural lipids found in skin. This advanced technology helps maintain skin’s flexibility, keeps surface cells supported and helps repair the moisture barrier allowing skin to retain more of its natural moisture and appear smoother and better hydrated.


Includes the anti-irritation benefits of Eyebright, a plant used since ancient times to maintain eye health. Eyebright is known to be rich in the tannins and carbohydrates which are beneficial for reducing irritation when applied topically. Clinique’s scientists have discovered a way to distill Eyebright extract into a more concentrated form making its antioxidant and soothing properties even more effective. 


Calms, Sooths and Protects delicate under-eye skin, with the powerful antioxidant and anti-irritant ingredients Green Tea Extract and Vitamins C and E and guard against future damage caused by free-radicals.


Contains the advanced “decoy” anti-aging ingredient, Decarboxy Carnosine HCI. As skin gets thinner, it begins to show some of the blood vessels under the eyes, giving skin a darker appearance. The more transparent your skin, the darker the circles can appear. It also supports skin resulting in smoother, firmer, less translucent looking skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.


All About Eyes Rich is appropriate for all skin types including sensitive skin. Safe for contact lens wearers. 100% oil-free. Non-acnegenic. Allergy tested. 100% Fragrance Free. Dermatologist tested. Ophthalmologist tested.


All About Eyes Rich is available at Clinique counters nationwide and on Clinique.com.
