As many of you know I am a big fan of Clarins products and always keen to try out new products so the latest to be put on my skin was the Clarins Water Comfort One Step Cleaner. I had been lucky enough to get a discovery size free recently so have been using it for a few weeks.

The cleanser is a water based cleanser made with peach essential water. Clarins explains that this ingredient is obtained through a process of steam distillation producing an ingredient which is full of the beneficial properties of peach. These properties include soothing, softening and conditioning properties.

As with all Clarins products there are also lots of other plant extracts including some known names and other less well known plants. These include a coconut derivative to act as gentle non-foaming cleansing agent to dissolve surface grime and light make-up. Moringa Seed extract to neutralise harmful pollution. Isphagul and Provitamin B5 to soften and hydrate the skin and Honey and Glycerine to regulate and maintain the skins moisture level.

The cleanser is designed for dry or normal skin.

Instructions are simply to soak a cotton wool pad with the cleanser and gently sweep over the face. It can be used both morning and evening.

The major downside to the product is the cost which is £16.50 for a 200ml bottle.

The cleanser is a clear liquid slightly pink tinted water. It has a lovely fresh peachy smell. Applying it to cotton wool and sweeping it over my face it does leave it cleansed and feeling soft and refreshed. It does as its says remove surface grime however if you are someone who wears lots of foundation then I don’t think this product would be good enough to remove it all or otherwise you would have to repeat the process several times. I don’t find that I need to use a separate toner with this cleanser as it seems to cleanse and tone at the same time. After using it my skin feels nice and clean its nice to use for a change to my usual creamy cleanser which can leave your skin a little bit greasy after using unless you follow with the toner. This cleanser would be great to freshen skin up before you put on your make-up.

I like this cleanser its nice to use and leaves my skin feeling soft and refreshed. I do like it however as its quite expensive and not good at removing foundation if I bought it again I would have to buy another cleanser to remove the foundation so it seems a bit of a waste. Its not one I will buy but if Clarins want to give me another free sample I wouldn’t say no!
