Cleanse it all away.

Advantages: Lovely thick, rich cleanser
Disadvantages: The price

...for me!! ~ Packaging ~ This comes in a predominantly white box with red writing on. Inside the box there is a clear plastic bottle with a flip top lid, underneath of which is a small hole from 'whence' the cream comes!! As I always say, I much prefer tubs, than bottles so you are guaranteed at getting every last bit of the product as so often there are bits left in the bottle. ~ What is it and what do Clarins say? ~ * It's a cleanser that's formulated with pure vegetal extracts. * It cleanses and gently lifts make-up and impurities. * It enhances a clear, pure complexion. * It moisturises and neutralises the drying effect of hard water. * It is a cleanser with alpine herb extracts. * Suitable for dry or normal skin. ~ My experience ~ The cream is a very, very pale green colour. It is lovely and thick and feels...

Review of Clarins Cleansing Milk for Dry/Normal Skin

Biotherm Biosource Cleansing Milk - Good but not exceptional

Advantages: Cleansed and left skin soft
Disadvantages: Thisn consistency, can be overly expensive, leave residue.

...I have very oliy skin and used to wear a lot of make-up to cover my blemishes. I read an article regarding the Biotherm Biosource products which suggested they were quite good for adult oily skin as I found the products aimed at teenagers to be too harsh. I bought the cleanising milk, the toner and the moisturiser. This review is regarding the Cleanising milk but I will review the other products where possible. The 250ml lasted 3 months (bearing in mind I do wear quite a lot of base make-up). I bought it from duty free for approximately £8.99 and to be honest, whilst the product performed well I do not think it would be worth paying too much more for it. The consistency is quite thin and it can be tricky to apply as it does tend to run between fingers. It also require a couple of applications and wash offs to remove an evening...

Clinique - Take The Day Off Cleansing Milk

Advantages: Attractive and good packaging, a little goes a long way, skin feels clean, good value for money
Disadvantages: None

...This product is readily available to buy at the Clinique counter in department stores such as Debenhams, online or at Boots the Chemist. I bought mine from Boots and paid £15.50, but I'm sure if you browsed the internet, you'll be able to purchase it at a discounted rate (for example, the website 'Skin Store' are advertising it for £12.95). Having said this however, I truly believe that Clinique 'Take the Day Off Cleansing Milk' is well worth the amount of money I paid). Firstly I must confess, I don't feel I am particularly blessed in the perfect skin department; I have quite sensitive skin, with dry patches and eczema, but I also find that if I don't take proper care of it, I'm prone to outbreaks of the dreaded spots. Having become fed up with numerous cleansers that weren't doing what they promised to do, I began looking...

clarins beauty flash balm

Advantages: the way it gives your skin a de-stressed fresh look
Disadvantages: none

...clarins beauty flash balm This product maybe a little more expensive than a range like johnsons and johnsons but it is well worth the money.

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Advantages: Luxury, Feels lovely
Disadvantages: Can irritate some skins

...I really shouldnt have. Most of these are beauty products. The upside of my appauling waste of money on things I didnt need is that Ive discovered some amazing ways to save money on the cream of beauty products (that I might share one day!), also, I know pretty much everything there isto know about hair and beauty. *********************************** Clarins are known for their good quality products...and their high prices. If you visit a Clarins counter and let one of their usually snooty assistants talk to you about products you might be lucky enough to walk off with some free samples to try. Alot of the time though if they dont like the look fo you for whatever reason theyll fob you off and say 'oh we dont give samples' Theyll only say this if they think youre inexperienced in the upmarket beauty trade so be assertive and never...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Cleanse and Polish... only for some

Advantages: great packaging,aromatic smell, smooth to apply
Disadvantages: not for everyone

...Everywhere i look i see Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish " one of the best cleansers i have ever used ". Unfortunatley, in my case i have to disagree. I mean, i have no major complaints about this product apart from the fact that it didnt do any justice for my complextion. I have normal to combination skin, but recently i have had a few dry days and sensitivity on my skin. I never really cleansed my face with products just the old fashion way with water and then applying a moistoriser for my skin type. I tried this product in the hope that it would help the dryness and sensitivity that i was experiencing. Not only that, but i recently decided to go all natural and organic when it comes to my skin. Reading so many things about the dangerous ingredients that are placed into cosmetics and what they can do to you. 100ml Pump Dispenser...

Review of Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish

Clarins - For Soft Smooth Hands

Advantages: Leaves hands wonderfully soft
Disadvantages: The Cost

...I love my Clarins products apart from the products themselves I like the offers they have on regularly throughout the year where if you buy two products you get some trial sizes free. This is a great opportunity to try some of the other Clarins products without splashing out your cash. One product I got a trial size of was the Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment Cream. The tube I have is only 30ml but the actual size in the shop for sale is 100ml, prices vary depending where you buy but it is £14.50 at www.pharmacy2u.co.uk. This is as it says a hand and nail cream, which claims to have the following benefits:- - Protecting hands from chapping and irritation and gives an even appearance - Moisturises and gives smooth supple hands - Strengthens nails - Minimises current age spots and prevents the appearance of new spots. So...

Review of Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment Cream

One Of The Best Cleansers For Dry Skin ....

Advantages: Effective, gentle and doesn't dry out skin
Disadvantages: Price

...My skin type has always been dry but as I'm getting older ( I'm in my mid-forties) I'm increasingly concerned about the signs of ageing on my face so I'm very picky about the skin products that I use. I've been using Clarins Cleansing Milk for Dry/Normal Skin for about 2 years now and I'm very happy with this product. The product is packaged in the trademark Clarins clear plastic flattened oval bottle with red writing and a white lid and the standard size is 200ml / 7ozs. Although it is a cleansing milk it is thicker and richer than most other milk cleansers and is a very pale green in colour. It contains Vitamins A and E to cleanse, Alpine Herbs to soften and Arnica to regenerate and tone the skin. The Alpine Herbs give it a pleasant fragrance which does smell herbal but is not too overpowering. The manufacturer claims...

Review of Clarins Cleansing Milk for Dry/Normal Skin

A Whiff of Clarins!

Advantages: Some might like the clarins smell, the smell lasts (can be good or bad), softens skin
Disadvantages: Not great for really dry skin, smell can be overpowering, expensive

...I love Clarins products and have finally started to get round to reviewing some of the many products in their range that I have used. The first is the Clarins Eau Ressourcante Moisturising Body Lotion. The lotion comes from their ?blue? fragrance range which is Eau Ressourcante. The lotion is designed to hydrate, refresh and soften skin. It contains essential oils and also plant extracts including Sarsaparilla and Hibiscus which relax and moisturise, Robinia which soothes and softens and Longan which stimulates. It comes in a semi-opaque white plastic bottle with turquoise writing on the bottle. It has a screw top cap with a covered top which has a small opening. The small opening is good as you can just squeeze a small amount of the lotion out rather than pour too much out at one time. The bottle holds 250ml and costs £24...

Review of Clarins Eau Ressourcante Moisturizing Body Lotion

The Clarins range

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Loads

...Most premium products have one or two items that stand out from the rest of the products in a range. Chanel for me means colour Molten Brown for me is tops for the face wash and shower gels Gatineau for me is the Laser range and also the deep cleansing foam Decleor are the oils and balms created from pure and natural escences and so on. Clarins, i find is a premium brand product that i have found no benefit from. Nothing in the range stands out to me. Even the Beauty Flash balm, which is so raved about in review - £22 left my skin feeling sticky in the heat and made no difference to the appearance of my face whatsoever. I have tried the following products : Clarins Cleansing Milk with Alpine Herbs - nice smell but not worth the £17.50. Did nothing for my skin whatsoever. Nice texture and easy to use. Clarins...
