I started using this cream because I had bought beauty flash balm and I wanted to see if Clarins did any other products that would work as well on my skin. I wanted a cream which would moisturize but not feel greasy at the same time and that would work as a good base for my make up too.
I normally use face creams with SPF as I feel like I’m doing something good with my skin, and plus it helps protect it too, so that was a main specification for why I chose this cream, this one has SPF 15 and I think that it is the only face cream Clarins does with SPF in it.
What I like about this is that the bottle has a little pump dispenser which makes it non messy and seems quite glam too, so you feel like you are getting your money’s worth as the pump is gold and really quite cute. The actual bottle is cylindrical and not big and bulky so you can slip it into your make up case. I found that although it is quite expensive £26 for 50mls, but I find that you don’t need much and it feels more like an emulsion on the face. It sinks in very quickly and plumps out the skin which makes it easy for applying foundation as it spreads quite easily.
What I found a bit odd is that it gives my face a white tinge when I apply some on but it quickly disappears once it has sunk into the skin.
I really do like this cream, I bought it in duty free but there is not much of a price difference, it also lasts for a long time and I use it everyday. I would say that I started using it about a year ago and I’ve only just started using my second bottle of it now. I also like using Clarins products as I feel that they have a lot of natural ingredients contained in it and feels like it soothes my skin rather than irritates it. I have normal skin, but I have in the past had problems with brands such as Clinique because of the chemicals that are contained in their products.
Clarins products are available in every department stores and boots, they often have special offers, but I would recommend if you are not keen on paying this much to ask for a few samples in order for you to see what effect it has on the skin.
I would recommend this as a product because it really does feel that it hydrates my face for the whole day and helps to keep my make up on too, which is quite important.

Sounds excellent but very expensive. I love Clarins products but really all their moisturisers should come with SPF15. Great op!
