I purchased this a few weeks online. The heat here is unbearable and it could have affected the product. I usually love Clinique products but this did nothing for me.
Pros: Compared to other eye creams at Sephora...this was much cheaper.
Con's: The plastic ball tip was weird. I prefer the metal applicators. The product burned a bit. I did not notice any brightening or depuffing. I now have milia under my eye. I have really sensitive skin though and this probably works well for other people. I also had this shipped to me at an average temperature of 100degrees F.
