Clarins Night Lotion - makes you feel special!

Advantages: Makes your skin soft, a nice treat
Disadvantages: Quite expensive!

...I really like this night cream from Clarins. I was lucky enough to get this as a present (because I know it is very expensive at a crazy £39 for 50ml from Boots) I find it quite nice to have a different moisturising cream to put on at night than I use in the day. Quite a lot of high street department stores such as Boots, Debenhams and John Lewis stock this, so it is quite readily available. It is also easy to find it on the internet. It is meant to be applied in the evening on cleansed skin just before you go to bed. The cream itself is quite runny, almost like a white runny gel. It is really easy to apply and does not irritate or make my skin tingle. It also absorbs in to the skin quite quickly. It makes the skin seem really soft and it is meant to make your skin seem firmer when you wake up. It is also meant to boost...

8 Hour multi-tasking cream

Advantages: Unlimited uses
Disadvantages: pricey but worth it

...A friend introduced me to this cream while we were travelling on bisiness together to America. I am now a convert - I love the smell, although I do think it grows on you ... don't expect to love it at first sniff! But most of all, I love it for its multi-tasking uses. A brill lipgloss - I hate dry lips - and Eight Hour Cream lasts longer than the normal lip balm. Fantastic dry skin eliminator. Better than any other I have tried ... try it on your hands and feet overnight. Wear loose cotton socks / gloves and wake up feeling extra soft in the morning. The best athletes foot cure I've found. (I believe it was manufactured initially to soothe horses' hooves) For itchy rashes,mosquito bites and sunburn - this is your answer to all! Pack it into your holiday cosmetic bag before you leave. You'll be glad you did...

Review of Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

A cream for all seasons

Advantages: Moisturises, nice texture
Disadvantages: Design of jar

...I have been using Clarins Multi Active Day Cream for the past 4 years & find that it is a great day cream for all year round. The cream comes in a white & red jar which is typical of the Clarins 'design'. The picture above shows the 'old style' jar which has now been replaced by one a slightly different shape. I use the one for 'all skin types', but it is also available for Dry Skin. A 30ml jar lasts me approx 4 months. The only thing wrong with the design of the jar is the fact that you have to stick your fingers in the jar to get the product out. If you have long nails the cream goes under them & you end up having to get the nail brush out! It would be better if it came in a 'pump action' design like their Engergising Morning Cream. It smells quite floral but not sickly & it is absorbed almost immediatley. You only need...

Review of Clarins Protection Plus Multi-Active Day Cream For All Skin Types

Overperfumed and overpriced

Advantages: Looks a nice tub on your bathroom shelf
Disadvantages: Didn't moisturise and smells like aftershave

...I really like Clarins products and I've had some nice lotions and potions from them over the years. I was given a tester of this night moisturising cream from the nice lady over the counter as they are quite pricey and I like to know it's going to suit my skin before I shell out the £39.00 they were asking! The bottle is a lovely dark blue and white design, modern and easily distinguished from the day cream. It's packaged as prevention plus Multi-Active Night Cream Youthful Vitality (which sounds great). After cleansing my skin as per the instructions I opened the bottle to a really strong hit of masculine smelling scent. The smell was quite overwhelming which put me off a little as I generally try to stay away from heavily perfumed products. I persevered with the moisturiser and applied it anyway but by this time the smell was...

Review of Clarins Multi Active Night Cream Prevention Plus

The one specially for dry skin...

Advantages: Particularly pleasant to use
Disadvantages: Doesn't offer protection from the sun's rays, but the range has versions that do.

...? ago and loved it, but was put off by the price. I?ve decided now that you get what you pay for and Clarins is definitely good value for money. I use the Multi-Active Day Cream for Dry Skin. There is another cream for all skin types and you need to make sure you get the right one because the pots look the same. It comes in a small glass pot and I like this because you can scoop out the exact amount you want to use and there is none wasted at the end because it?s got stuck in the corner of a tube. It is perfumed, but in a light and pleasant way and spreads very easily over the skin. A little goes a long way and I find one 50ml pot will last nearly 3 months, using it on my face and neck. The most important thing about the cream for me is that it makes my skin feel comfortable and this feeling doesn?t wear off during the day. What...

Dermalogica Multi Active Toner- all skin types

Advantages: Lasts ages, refreshing, easy to apply, no need for cotton wool, great for the skin
Disadvantages: Cost

...Dermalogica Mulit Active Toner can be used on any skin type. It comes in a useful pump action type bottle which you can spritz on. It is light, refreshing and hydrates your skin and smooths the surface. It has a pleasant smell and contains lavender, mint and arnica to help condition the skin and prepare it for more moisture absorption. It conatins no artificial fragrance or colour. After cleansing you can spritz this spray all over your face and neck. You need to keep your eyes closed for this. Dermalogica then suggest that you follow this imediately with their moisturiser. I use this product every day along with the anti bac facewash and moisturiser. As a teenager having been prone to acne I was brought this as a present. I was a little disaponited with my gift but after trying it I was really pleased as my problemed...

Review of Dermalogica Multi Active Toner

Soft, Dewy skin ALL day

Advantages: A lovely well absorbed day cream
Disadvantages: Pricey, but an essential for Clarins buffs!

...Clarins- Multi-Active Jour, Multi Active Day Cream. I bought this on special offer in Debenhams for £15 for 20ml tube. I thought I would treat myself to a different day cream than my usual Elemis one. My mum recommended the Clarins. The Packaging is fairly distinctive, a white tall box with red writing on. This is trade mark Clarins. The product labelling on the box ias predominantly in French, with translations in German and English. This particular cream has "protection plus" and is suitable for all skin types. There is a cream for dry skin too. I am a little wary of expensive skin products as I have used cheaper alternatives which are nice, but htis is definitely a cut above my other creams. On the box it claims be bio/hydro thermal/Tensio and Photo regulating. This is basically a regulating cream for the changes...

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...

Ally123

Advantages: Smells nice, good texture, nice glow to skin & feels soft & silky
Disadvantages: Too rich, doesn't soak in properly, make up application becomes very difficult

...Only been using this product for 2 days & perhaps I'm using too much but my make up is terrible after using this! Lovely Chanel make up that normally looks great but this is just too rich and my cosmetics literally peel away so my face & hair is covered in bits. It doesn't seem to matter how long I leave it to soak in. It smells ok & the texture is nice but more suited to a night cream - I'm now wishing I'd gone for the gel lotion with SPF as this seems like not much use to me as a day cream without SPF & if I can't wear make up afterwards. Early days for me testing out Clarins products but the oil gel wash and the one step cleanser with orange are great - also just received the brightening lotion for day with SPF 20 so will persevere with the moisturisers. This seems to be a product with a strong following so I want to get...
