Dear, Klairs_Fundamental Eye Care Duo

Dear Klairs added not just one, but two new eye cream this year and it was probably one of the most exciting news on Wishtrend! The Dear Klairs Eye Cream duo was designed to take care of your skin around the eyes and help resolve your under eye wrinkles, puffy eyes, and even dark circles!  The Fundamental Eye Awakening Gel and the Fundamental Nourishing Eye Butter got everyone excited, with not only interesting ingredients and formula but also two very different textures! And this got a lot of us wondering, so which one will work best for my under eyes?  

Eye've Got My Eyes on Klairs - Fundamental Eye Care Duo

One of the most common comments or feedbacks eye cream products recieve are : "it is too thick", "it is too oily", "it is hard to use it in the morning". Dear Klairs wanted to make sure their new addition of eye care products alleviate these negative feedbacks and help people alter their perception on eye cream products. Even though the Eye Gel and the Eye Butter are two very different products, with different ingredients, forumulation, texture and effects, they share these 4 traits :contains effective antioxidant ingredients.can be used both in the morning and at night.is light and fast absorbing unlike other eye care products you've seen before. comes in easy-to-use container. So, if you've never used eye cream products before, or if you were on the hunt for an under eye care product that will be gentle but effective, the Fundamental Eye Care Duo would be a a great choice.  

The Klairs Fundamental Eye Care Duo, How are They Different?

The difference between Eye Gel and the Eye Butter mainly derives from the 1) ingredient list, 2) texture, and 3) effects around the eyes.  

Dear, Klairs_Fundamental Eye Care Duo Comparison

  1. 1) The Ingredient: Similar but different

    • (both) Caffeine : Just like we drink coffee when we try to wake ourselves up in the morning, you can expect a very similar effect when you add caffeine as a skincare ingredient for your under eyes care. Eye cream with caffeine is known to reduce redness, puffiness around the eyes and reduce the appearance of inflammation. Caffeine also has soothing properties making it effective yet skin soothing for under eyes care.
  • (both) Red bean extract : Red bean might not be the most familiar ingredient for everyone yet, for Asian cultures it is a very familiar ingredient rich in Vitamins, minerals and fiber. The red bean exract contains Vitamin A, Vitamin B and Vitamin E making it a great ingredient for antioxidant skincare products. It also helps repair and renew cells making it a unique yet ideal ingredient for eye care products.
(both) Quad-peptide : Peptides being one of the most popular anti-aging skin care ingredient, they are chains of amino acids that are building block of protein in the skin. Thanks to its ability to penetrate effectively into the skin, it has been proved of its anti-aging property. But imagine you get to have 4 of this brilliant ingredients just for your under eye care! (eye butter) Sunflower seed oil : Sunflower oil is significant as it is a non-comedogenic carrier oil which is highly absorbent, and doesn't clog pores. Since it is rich in Vitamin E it is a great antioxidant ingredient and since it helps skin retain moisture it makes it a great hydrating ingredient to be found in under eye care products. 

2) The Texture: Very different but both gentle
