Clarins Calm-Essentiel Restoring Treatment Oil

This product is used in conjunction with soothing emulsion. The oil has no smell and it feels like other facial oils available in the market. But it does the trick. I used it with the emulsion and my skin got better in few days. The best thing is you don’t have to use it every time. 4 to 5 days are enough. And only 2 to 3 drops are required. I am not sure if it can be used on it’s own.

Wow, wow, wow, the Clarins Calm-Essentiel Soothing Emulsion is amazing. I have very dry and sensitive skin due to medication and have not been able to find anything to work on my skin until now. The restoring treatment oil immediately makes my skin feel soft and hydrated. using 2 drops goes a long way and made my skin more soft and hydrated. I used the product on its own at night, and woke up every morning with my skin feeling soft and hydrated (which has never happened before). I highly recommend anyone with sensitive skin trying this product.

I was fortunate to trial this product. This oil comes in a bottle with a dropper allowing you to add it to the soothing emulsion cream when you apply it or apply it directly onto your face. I used 1-2 drops and I found this was sufficient. I used this oil after applying the Clarins soothing emulsion cream at night. In the morning my skin feels amazing and hydrated. I have noticed that i have less dryness and my skin doesn't feel irritated and itchy which was common, especially after wearing makeup all day. This oil was easy to apply; it wasn’t too greasy and felt my skin feeling smooth.

Fantastic product, smells so good, easy to apply, you don’t need much. The packaging is simple and very informative, and made from recycled and ethically sourced materials.

I read somewhere that you can use this as a stand-alone treatment, and it really works so well! Before using this oil treatment, my skin was dry, itchy, flakey, red, unevenly toned, and sensitive. I have been using the entire regime which includes redness corrective and emulsifying creams, but the star of the show is this restorative treatment oil! I use this day and night. During the day it helps to prep my skin for makeup and keeps it moisturised all day long! At night time it really has a chance to soak up all the goodness and I wake up looking bright and clear.

Since using this oil I’ve noticed a massive improvement in my skin tone, plumpness, and even my under eye wrinkles have started diminishing!

Can’t find a single fault. I’d pay whatever they were asking for another bottle :p

I was thrilled to be selected to trial Clarins Calm- Essentiel Restoring Treatment oil and have been raving about it since its first use! The product is contained in a heavy bottle and is distributed using a pipette. The oil is scented with clary sage and musk coming across clearly. I used the treatment oil in the evenings, after cleansing and moisturising. I dispensed a few drops into my palms and warmed the oil up and then used long strokes to apply to my face and neck. My skin drank up the treatment oil and I just adored the smell- it’s very grounding. I found the oil to be perfect for my red, wind chapped skin- when I woke in the morning after using it, my skin was plump, soft and clear. As this product contains protective properties, I am excited to see the long term benefits that come with continued use.

I was super stoked to get on this trial....thanks BR! A little bit about my skin, it can be very fussy! I have to be careful what I use as some products set my skin on fire and I often get a horrible irritation. I have redness on my chin and cheeks and get occasional breakouts.

I applied the Clarins Calm-Essentiel restoring treatment oil only at night after cleansing and  moisturising. It has a nice consistency and isn't super runny which I like. It has a nice subtle smell.

I use about half a dropper full and massage it all over my face and neck. It sinks in well but still leaves a slight greasy feeling. I get no burning or irritation at all and my skin seems to love this. My face feels plump and super hydrated, it doesn't break me out at all.

Overall I am really enjoying using this oil and my skin is clear and looks fresh. I would happily purchase this myself. Thanks BR!

I used this treatment oil every night after applying clarins emulsion soothing cream. I found the oil to be easy to apply and made my skin moisturised after use. It would set in whilst I slept and would wake up feeling soft ans supple. I have not had any reaction with acne which is amazing. I loved this product and really liked the small bottle with suction tip for applying. The product did not just sit on top of skin it did sink into my skin where it needed to be restored.

I don't think I can rave about this range enough!

I've never used Clarins before, but I am familiar with the brand. I think of it as being high end and quite pricey - but I'm happy to confirm it is worth the money!

The packaging: Is functional and simple. I read up a little online to get more information on what to use, when, but there is some info on the packaging. The oil lid feels secure and the dropper is effective.

The formula: It smells quite earthy/natural. Being for sensitive skin I'm glad it isn't strongly scented. It's very light and easily absorbed into the skin - you don't feel like you're sitting under layers of oil and there's no greasy after feel.

The effects: The oil works beautifully to soothe and calm sensitive skin. After use my skin feels soft and moisturised and really calm. There's no sign of irritation.

Final Thoughts: Clarins recommend both using this at night and adding it to the emulsion - I wasn't sure if these two tips were meant to be done together, so I opted to add to the emulsion in the morning and use the oil by itself at night. Both methods`were positive, I dont have a preference.
