I never met a Clarins product I didn't like. A French based company, it is known for its skin care and uses no animal products.
They offer nice size sampling of various skin care products, enough to let you know if you like it for your skin or not. Several times a year you can book a facial massage with them, where trained estheticians apply their products to give you a facial massage and makeover. The SA is also able to give you a makeover on the spot, minus the massage.
I'm not going to discuss every product, that's what the SAs are for. They will help you determine what would work best for your skin type.
I'm just going to discuss a couple of my faves.
A magic product
This product really works. It helps obscure lines, a sort of magic optical illusion. It isn't heavy or greasy. When I use it, I apply it over my makeup just in places that need help. The product stays true over time.
Super Restorative Serum
This serum is one of the better ones on the market.
Color Quench Lip Balm
This is an excellent lip balm. It is worth getting in several colors.
Emollient, but not sticky. Color 03 is beautiful, as they all are, as a highlight up the center of the lip. It is almost an apricot.
Moisture Lip Balm
This is essentially the same product without color.
Clarins HydraQuench Cream
A reader told me this is the best moisturizer she ever used.
Color Stories
Their color stories are usually interesting. They have had some really superb colors in eye pencils.
My View
I don't think you can go wrong with any product you wanted to try. I consider them a mid-range price point. They aren't super expensive, like La Prairie, but they are not inexpensive either.
Do you use Clarins? What is your favorite product?
