my Clarins Skincare: Overview

A few weeks ago, I applied for a free sample of the new my Clarins skincare range through their website (I'm not sure if you are still able to do this). It took a few weeks to actually arrive, although  I'm not sure what date it did actually arrive as I was on holiday when it came. I was initially surprised as to how many products were in the bag, as I didn't realise there were so many. I'm also impressed about how the products are all in tubes (bar the double serum, although you get a few sachets of this) meaning you get a decent sized amount of product to try.


The first product listed on their very helpful explanation sheet is the Re-Boost refreshing hydrating cream. It claims to 'restore balance and glow' and boasts beneficial ingredients such as Organic Coconut Water, Alprenrose Extract and Acerola Seed Extract. I'm really excited to use this, as it's best for use on dehydrated skin, and my skin in in definite need of hydration.

Next is the Re-Move Purifying Cleansing Gel. The clues in the name with this one- its a gel cleanser which gives 'squeaky clean skin without the shine' with ingredients such as Moringa Extract, Meadowsweet Extract and Bitter Orange Floral Water Extract. Again, this is something I'm really excited to try as the promise of shiny free clean skin is all I've ever wanted.

Moving onwards, there is the Re-Charge Relaxing Sleep Mask. this claims to 'hydrate and fuel skin' as well as 'brightening and clearing your complexion' as you sleep. This lists ingredients such as Organic Coconut Water, Alpenrose Extract and Fig Extract. I'm really hoping this lives up to its claims and hydrates my skin as I am in desperate need!

Finally. there is the Double Serum, which is states as being the 'No.1 Anti Ageing Serum in the UK'. While it states it has 20+ active plant extracts, it only names one directly, which is Tumeric. As I'm only in my early 20's, anti- ageing skincare isn't high on my list of priorities at the moment, but I can definitely appreciate a decent serum.
