The Top Rated At Home Spa Experience For Sensitive Skin!

Those with sensitive skin know how finicky it can be. Dryness, tightness, discomfort and random breakouts are just a few signs of sensitive skin. Having reactive skin can make it hard to find a skincare regimen you trust, and visiting a spa for a facial can be out of the question as you've no idea how your skin will respond to the products used. That's why we love that Clarins has come out with the Calm-Essentiel range, which is designed to create an in-home spa experience for sensitive skin.

We recently sent Beauty Review members the regimen to trial and the results were wonderful, with every product receiving the Top Rated badge, and the range receiving a 4.6/5 rating. Not only did reviewers see the appearance of redness reduced, flakiness disappear and beautifully hydrated skin, they also enjoyed an experience of self-care with a custom application method that gave a spa experience at home. Want to recreate it?

Clarins Calm-Essentiel Soothing Emulsion - rated 4.7/5

First things first, cleanse your skin then gently pat dry. Pump a little emulsion into your hands, then warm the product in your hands before applying so as not to shock your sensitive skin. Apply the emulsion with light pressure, and don't forget to bring it down your neck and decollété.

Clarins Calm-Essentiel Redness Corrective Gel - rated 4.2/5

If you are experiencing occasional redness, apply the Calm-Essentiel Redness Corrective Gel where required. Redness appears reduced due to the gel's green pearls and pigments. Its refreshing texture melts into the skin, intensely moisturising and protecting.

Clarins Calm-Essentiel Restoring Treating Oil - rated 4.4/5

If you find your skin needs a hydration boost, an oil is the perfect way to nourish your skin at night. A few drops into your palm, warmed between your hands and then applied to your face is a soothing treat your skin will love.

Finally, finish with what Clarins calls a 'cocoon wrap'. A comforting experience that's designed to relax you, by placing your hands around your ears and temples while pressing for five seconds. Take a moment here to inhale, then exhale, and relax.

All in all the experience doesn’t take more than a few minutes, but they're a few minutes of self-care, where you can take a moment out of your day to focus on yourself, while treating your sensitive skin. Bliss.

What a great introductory set into the skincare world of Clarins! I experience dry, tight, itchy skin during the winter months which always means a switch of skin care to soothing and hydrating ranges. I would love to try this skincare line for anti-aging and daily soothing.

My skin is dry, oily, with dry patches and red, sometimes all at the same time and sometimes one at a time. at the moment its dry patches and my skin feels hot

This sounds amazing! Specially coming in to winter my skin becomes a little flaky around breakout areas. It would be lovely to give these products a go.

28th May, 2021

Oh this sounds so gorgeous! As my skin is now getting older, it's becoming more sensitive so I have to be mindful of what I put on it as well as consider environmental factors! I always look for sensitive range products but also something that supports my skin as it gets older. Would absolutely love to win this package! My skin wouldnt know what hit it!

My skin is dry year round, but more so in winter. I also have psoriasis but am not flaring at the moment :) I love thick, hydrating products and avoid heavy fragrances to limit any irritations

28th May, 2021

Hospital stays and surgeries have played havoc with my skin - dry, flaky, random spots and redness that I didn't have before.

28th May, 2021

Change of season equals change of skin for me. The dryness comes back with a vengeance and as my skin is already sensitive a skin care that works wonders sounds awesome.

28th May, 2021

My skin is suoer senstivie around my eyes but it really is like a planet of all different continents of areas of different senstivities and different problems. Oh, and the climate change with aging on my skin!!

28th May, 2021

Yes please! The treatment cream I use for my melasma often dries my skin out and it takes a few days for it to settle and the flakey skin to disappear. Would love to have something that helped!!

I have always had sensitized skin. It's always been embarrassing when you flush red and people point it out. I don't like having facials or being around people without makeup due to this reason, as if my skin is touched (like cleansed etc) or any slight irritation it goes pink. Would love to improve and reduce my redness and feel more confident without makeup on

My skin goes through phases of being super sensitive, and I need to find really gentle, calming products to use when it freaks out like that! This would be amazing, as I'm always on the hunt for something gentle and calming enough to use on my skin during sensitive periods.

28th May, 2021

I’m he change of season has caused my skin to do a complete 180 degree switch up and suddenly become dry angry and sensitive ! Even my usual routine is not giving enough hydration ! This would be such a great opportunity to placate my angry skin and give her the winter soothing that she needs !

28th May, 2021

This would be so great to try as I have a lot of redness and rosacea that is relatively new. I think my skin is becoming more sensitive and would love to know if this helps. My girls have very sensitive skins too.

28th May, 2021

Oh my gosh I really need this calming range like right now after experiencing a horrible reaction on my face to a plant based retinol (Bakuchiol) yesterday where my face is so in-flamed with redness,stinging,puffiness and a rash.I look like I have been severely sunburnt!..I do suffer with sensitive skin and with this colder weather and most likely my hormones I have noticed my skin has also become dry and flakey.

28th May, 2021

I have atopic dermatitis and ichthyosis vulgaris (inherited dry scaly skin) which worsens during the cold and dry seasons and am yet to find a product that works for my skin. The combination of these render my skin to be both dry and quite sensitive. So... I would love to find out whether these Clarin's products are THE ONE!
