Advantages: Nice packaging
Disadvantages: Doesn't protect the skin, Leaves streaks, Not water resistant

...buy some there. The Clarins Sun Body Protection Sun Care Soothing Cream, Progressive Tanning was SPF20 and in a spray container rather than squeezable and was a great handbag size and that's where my praise stops. The liquid was white in colour and took forever to rub in to the skin and then left white streaks all over the body that were extremely stubborn to get rid of. When I got in the pool a lot of little white bobbles formed all over my skin ...
...high pressure shower force. The fact that it was suppose to be SPF20 for my delicate fair skin was a good thing, while my friends were using SPF10. However, it barely protected my skin even after re-applying every hour because my skin was frying. I was left with very random burn marks all over my body (like one random line along my shin). It was not water resistant in any way and it was used up within 2 days through all the re-applications. I certainly ...

Review of Clarins Sun Body Protection Sun Care Soothing Cream, Progressive Tanning SPF20

Clarins Pore Minimizing Serum really makes pores vanish!

Advantages: instant results, small pores, soft skin!
Disadvantages: pricy but worth it!

I was given a free sample of the product and not only has it lasted me well but I cannot wait to buy myself the full sized product! The product is runny and light green, you apply to areas where you have large pores and wait for the magic to happen. I have large pores on my nose and one random one on my cheek! I have used this product twice a day and could see the results after 2 days!! Now I have been using the product for 2 weeks the pore on my ...

Review of Clarins Pore Minimizing Serum

Great alternative to creams

Advantages: Non-greasy, takes no time to apply, no residue on skin
Disadvantages: Expensive, non-economical spray design

I decided to buy this oil-free spray instead of the usual cream, as i was told my sensitive skin was reacting with the oil to produce a nasty rash. I do not know if this was necessarily true, but i have not developed a rash since. With the hot weather we have been having i think this spray is wonderful, as it not only protects the skin but also cools and refreshes it. The spray does not have a fragrance and does not feel like you are wearing any ...
...this product does not feel heavy or cloggy on the skin. The bottle just gives a fine mist of the porduct which drys on the skin immeadiately. The spray is incredibly easy to apply, because it even works up side down. However as a result of the spray mechanism the product is wasted slightly as not 100% of the spray lands on the skin. I have found that this problem can be reduced if you hold the bottle closer to the skin. I would recommend thsi product ...

Review of Clarins Sun Body Protection Oil-Free Sun Care Spray SPF15

I'll stick to my carmex thanks!

Advantages: looks glossy
Disadvantages: sticky, greasy, messy

...almost ever since I've know Vaseline has been around and my Mum always tended to buy it in one of those HUUUUGE tubs and she just used to plaster it on anything! Dry lips, grazes, cute, etc! Anyway so it seems to be one of those things that has just been around for ages, but I haven't used it for years and it was only a year or so ago when I saw these little round metal pots, with the famous 'Vaseline' written across it! As I had dry chapped lips ...
...the final price! Range: Vaseline has a large range, from the familiar yellowy tub, to these little pots. In these pot range there is the blue tub which is the original , SPF 15 one which is in the yellow tub, the green one which is an aloe vera one and the pink one, which is a tinting one! My view: I am not sure on this product, it isn't as good as what I have remembered and doesn't really soothe my lips as the lip balm gets soaked up ever so ...

Review of Vaseline Lip Therapy Sun Proection SPF 15

Garnier Ambre Solaire GEL good for oily skin;for use on body only

Advantages: Gel formulation, makes skin shimmer, available in high SPFs
Disadvantages: price, smell, dry oil feel on skin

What attracted me at first to this sun-gel was the fact that it was a gel- I have very oily skin. However, if you are planning to use it on your face, don’t. It not only makes your skin shimmer (pleasant effect on legs, for example; but on your face it looks like you’re sweating)and also IT STINGS. This is because of the high alcohol content. It does warn you not to use it on your face on the back. A major drawback is the smell- it really, really ...
...not greasy, it’s more of a kind of dry oiliness (it reminded me of body oil). I did not like the way it felt on my skin. Also it is expensive, but then most sunscreens are expensive. For oily skin pricewise, you’d be better to look for a supermarket sunscreen for children, as they tend to have less oil content. Also, look out for bargains- both Boots and supermarkets like ASDA or Sainsbury’s have 2 for 1 deals which I have seen often before. All ...
