What makes Clarins moisturisers so special?
Founded in Paris in 1954, Clarins is the gold standard when it comes to skincare, prioritising natural origin ingredients wherever possible and delivering pioneering, solution-led formulas that really work. Masters of the bestselling Super Restorative Day Cream, Lip Comfort Oil and Double Serum (1 Double Serum is sold every 4 seconds in the world) – no one makes a beauty cabinet classic quite like Clarins.
Moisturisers are at the core of Clarins skincare – delivering DEFENCE BY DAY, protecting us from external aggressors (UV, pollution, air conditioning, cold and heat) and helping skin to REPAIR & RENEW overnight.
Which Clarins Skin Experts Set should you try?
Verdict
As a seasoned beauty editor – and midlifer – I’ve tried a LOT of moisturisers over the years and have long-championed Clarins’ proven formulas. But I must confess, after a bout of perimenopausal-laced adult acne last year, I’d ditched moisturiser, favouring featherlight serums instead.
More fool me – because Clarins has an award-winning moisturiser for every age and life stage – and the Clarins Skin Experts Super Restorative Set was made for menopausal skin like mine.
I’ve been using that (and the Clarins Skin Experts Hydra-Essentiel Set on sticky, sun-scorched summer days) – for eight weeks now, and I cannot believe the difference both have made. My skin looks – and feels – healthier and bouncier – even my dermatologist pal noticed the difference!
Clarins' melt-in moisturisers soak into skin like a D-R-E-A-M, without feeling too heavy – and these new sets are genius. Easy-use and fuss-free – they’re ideal for time-poor types keen to trial a new skincare routine because – yes – great moisturisers work well alone, but the best skincare works even better together. ★★★★★
