This moisturiser came into my life at a good time - just when winter cold started, bringing with it indoor heating and temperature extremes. Due to this weather my skin immediately started showing redness and signs of sensitivity. I was very pleased to have this moisturiser available to apply.
Did it conquer all the redness in my cheeks? No. Did it do a good job at preventing and reducing it? Yes, I believe it did.
Other pluses for this product are that it has a lovely fragrance, can be used morning and night, and did not irritate my sensitive skin, even when applied near the eye area (was I supposed to do that...?).
The down sides were the packaging - I'm unfamiliar with this style of tube with pump top, so I'm dubious about getting the last bit of product out of the bottom - and the lack of instructions. Clarins often go light on instructions, meaning I'm trying to guess how to use their products properly. Partway through the trial Beauty Review contacted me to let me know exactly what order I should be applying the products in. Turns out I'd been doing my day routine in reverse! If Clarins gave better instructions on their packaging people would see better results with their products, so I feel it is in everyone's interest for them to provide a bit more info!
All told this was a lovely moisturiser, but I'll wait and see how successfully I can get the last bit out of the tube before I comment on value for money. ;)
I love that this is hermetically packaged - the tube/pump means that air isn't going to get in. It also means you're not coming into contact with the unused product.
I like this light emulsion a lot, my skin is combo, this worked well and didn't add any oilyness to my t zone.
It feels so lovely upon application, slightly cooling and definitely calming. It has a lovely fragrance that adds to the experience. I actually love that its fragranced, i know for some people that's a no-no for sensitive skin products, but for me I love it that they've found a gentle way to add scent using calming ingredients.
This leaves skin glowing and refreshed and really soft to touch. I'm going to enjoy using this through the winter months and beyond.
