Clarins has a very good reputation for excellent skin care products. The company was originally formed in 1954, so it has 52 years of skin care experience! You should expect to pay considerably more for any of their products as you are buying a branded, quality product. Clarins products are created from plant extracts, each with their own qualities to offer to the skin. The products are rigorously tested to ensure that they are safe and that their ...
...over 5000 of them! Clarins are also an environmentally friendly company, favouring recyclable packaging where ever possible. In addition to this, they do not test on animals which is a big consideration for a lot of people, including myself. I had this product bought for me as a gift - I don't think I would stretch to the hefty price tag had I been looking for a night cream myself! The cream is suitable for all skin types, so whether you have ... Read review

Advantages: Protects skin, makes it look healthier
Disadvantages: A bit pricey, takes a few minutes to absorb, smells a bit icky!

I really like Estee Lauder products but I don't buy them that often because they are so expensive. There has been a lot of hype and advertising surrounding the 'Advanced Night Repair' product recently and I just got a new job so I thought I would treat myself and decided to buy this to see what it was like. The product is meant to help your skin to repair itself from UV and environmental damage and also protect against these strains too before they ...
...something right since it has been winning awards. So far it has won the Cosmopolitan Beauty Awards 2007 for the Best Age-Defying Serum, The Red Magazine Beauty Awards 2007 for the Best Night Product and it also won Harper's Bazaar 50 Best Beauty Buys 2006 for Anti-Ageing Skin Saver. I really like the design of the bottle. It is quite simplistic and minimalist which I really like. The serum comes in a brown glass bottle that is rectangular in shape. ... Read review

Advantages: Moisturises your skin as you sleep.
Disadvantages: Cost

...I always used to buy Clarins products but as age crept up on me as did bills, mortgages etc I decided to look for more reasonably priced products which in my opinion do very much the same as this......in my view you are paying for the name. Anyway, this 50ml tub cost £22.50 in Aug 2005 and I have recently browsed through the Clarins counters and it's ranges from £26 to £30 in department stores. Very expensive but great for anyone who has lots of ...

Clarins describe this tub as an 'airless' jar that keeps out both air and light which protects the product's pureness and effectiveness. ********************************************************************** What does it promise to do? ********************************************************************** Clarins Gentle Night Cream for Sensitive Skin ~ Night time is apparantly a perfect time to calm sensitive skin. ~ The ...

Advantages: light weight and non greasy suitable for most skin types
Disadvantages: not heavy duty enough for more mature skins

This night cream is a good one. For those of us on the wrong side of 25 but not yet in need of a heavy duty night repair cream then this is great. It comes in a hand dispenser/bottle and means that you can get just the write amount of cream to cut down on wastage. Its pricey, but worth it. The cream itself is light and easily absorbed with a great smell and soothing feel. It's suitable for most skin types though not that effective for more mature ... Read review

Advantages: A relaxing smell
Disadvantages: Hard to apply, expensive and didn't do anything for my dry skin!

...'Angelique Night Balm' on the Decleor website which is for dry/very dry skin and thought I would give it a go. I have tried quite a lot of Decleor products before and have loved them, so I thought it might be the same with this. The jar comes in two different sizes which are both available from the 'Decleor' website. The sizes are 15ml which costs £28, and 30ml which costs £48. There are quite a lot of online shops that sell Decleor products though, ...
...find them for cheaper. The jar bottom part of the jar is made of frosted glass, and the screw top lid is made of plastic. Once you open the lid, there is a white plastic cover to protect the balm, which easily lifts on and off. The balm itself is yellow in colour and is like a really solid, hard butter (and it really looks like butter too!) The smell of it is quite strong. You can smell it as soon as you open the lid. It has rosemary, geranium, ... Read review
