What products for your under eye area do you use? I prefer creams and eye patches. And recently in one of the beauty boxes I found a mini of this Hydra-Essentiel Moisturizing Reviving Eye Mask by Clarins.
I’ve never seen such products before.
So now, I’m eager to share my thoughts about this product with you.
Hydra-Essentiel Moisturizing Reviving Eye Mask
SIZE - 30 ml.
I have my mini of 5 ml. It goes a really long way, I should say and it was enough to use within a couple of months, when using 2-3 times a week.

PACKAGE AND OUTER APPEARANCE
On the cardboard box they state some product info:
Hydra-Essentiel Moisturizing Reviving Eye Mask
Hydra-Essentiel Moisturizing Reviving Eye Mask
Hydra-Essentiel Moisturizing Reviving Eye Mask
Inside the box there were instructions in different languages given. These instructions were really huge. 
Hydra-Essentiel Moisturizing Reviving Eye Mask
The mask is housed in a blue plastic tube, which is done in the Clarins design.

PRODUCT PROMISES
Minimize signs of fatigue, dehydration and fine lines with the Clarins Hydra-Essentiel Hydrating Eye Mask, a cooling cream-gel that rejuvenates tired eyes.
The Hydra-Essentiel Hydrating Eye Mask targets the appearance of dark circles, wrinkles and puffiness with its cooling and refreshing formula. Perfect for an instant pick-me-up, this deeply moisturising eye cream creates an immediate well-rested look.
The Hydra-Essentiel Hydrating Eye Mask contains Clarins’ unique Organic Leaf of Life extract to improve your skin’s ability to retain moisture, whilst Irish moss soothes any sensitivity. Horse chestnut extract improves microcirculation around your eye contour, restoring radiance back to the area.
Apply every morning and evening. Leave for 10 minutes, then delicately tissue off any residue with a cotton pad, or pat in any excess. For best results, use as an intensive eye mask twice a week by applying a generous amount to the eye area before you sleep, and it leave on all night.
CONSISTENCY AND AROMA
The aroma of the product is very pleasant, subtle and fresh.
The color is fantastic! It looks skyblue. The consistency is gentle and thick, yet it isn’t greasy. The formula is easy to smear over my skin, it sinks in quickly and doesn’t leave any sticky film behind.

A little goes a long way. One pea-sized drop is enough for my eye area.
The manufacturer states two ways on how you can use this product:
- as an express mask to apply on your eye area for 10 minutes;
- and as an overnight leave-in mask 1-2 times a week.
I prefer the second option, since I can see that the product works better this way for me.

RESULTS OF USE
I can’t say that the mask does wonders with my skin, but I still like the way it works.
At first I was really worried that I would wake up in the morning with puffy eyes. But later I understood that all my worries were actually in vain. Nothing of that kind has ever happened with my skin. I want you to pay your attention to the fact that I apply all my eye creams and even this mask a few hours before going to sleep.
The next morning, when I slept with this mask, I woke up with my eye area beautiful and fresh-looking. The fine lines were evened out and it feels as though every skin cell is hydrated and nourished.
I don’t have big wrinkles yet, so I don’t know whether this mask would work well with them or not.

My skin looks nourished and resilient. I doesn’t do anything with the dark under eyes, maybe makes it a tad less obvious. Here I have to mention that I don’t have any significant dark under eye circles indeed.
The mask doesn’t fight puffiness. Patches will be more effective here for sure. Especially if you keep them in a fridge.
This eye mask doesn’t make my eyes irritated or red. My skin doesn’t experience any unpleasant sensation, which I’m dreadfully afraid of, especially from eye skin care products.
The mask is associated only with positive results for me. In terms of efficiency, it mostly reminds me of a thick and nourishing cream. Still I like the pleasant sensations it gives me and its delicate care of my eye area.
