i think for cleanser, a gentle cleanser is best. so am not prepared to change my cleanser even though my skin type has changed. its a very decent and gentle cleanser. dosent leave my skin taut and cleanse well. feel face very clean after using it. Too bad the formula changed..instead of this, its been changed to clarins gentle foaming cleanser with shea butter for dry skin, with cottonseed for oily and combination skin...

Clarins multi active night cream
clarins is the first skincare brand that i started off with. using its cleanser for years so decided to try their full range of products. was introduced to multi active range's day cream, night cream and eccense. one thing i love about clarins is the fragrance! frangrance is bad for sensitive skin but they really smell so havenly! and their products have special application methods. interesting. another reason why i love clarins is because they uses plants in their products. subconciously, feel its more natural compare to all chemicals(though they contains lots of chemicals too).
i used this cream in japan when i have dry, rough and flaky skin. just after using for a few days, my skin no longer flakes and feels so baby smooth! my friend commented that my skin feels like a barbie dolls! pore size also seems smaller. very happy with clarins. however, price wise is a bit on the high side..
This product however, has been discontinued too.. it has been changed to clarins multi active night youth recovery cream for normal to combination skin with the following ingredients:
Aqua/Water/Eau,Glycerin, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Isononyl Isononanoate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Cetearyl Alcohol, Ammonium Acrloydimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Dimethicone, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Cetearyl Glucoside, Parfum/Fragrance, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexlgylcerin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Hydrolysed Cetatonia, Siliqua Seed Extract, Disodium EDTA, Dimethiconol, Tetrasodium EDTA, Actinidia Cinensis (Kiwi) Fruit Extract, Sodium Benzoate, Thermus Thermophillus Ferment, Phenoxyethanol, Glutamylamidoethyl Imidazole, Potassium Sorbate, Phodiola Rosea Root Extract, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sorbic Acid.

Clarins one step gentle exfoliating cleanser
i got this in a sample tube when i bought my gentle forming cleanser which i had been using for as long as i can remember.
I was using it nightly. in the morning, i will cleanse my skin with clarins gentle forming cleanser and use this at night(i feel my skin is more dirty at night thus using this as it contains slight exfoliating effect).
its good! my skin got very much smoother and those tiny bumps(clogged pores) were all gone when i first started using it! very happy with it!
I usually use only about a pea size. squeezed it onto my fingertip and then spread around my whole face. the only cons is that SLS is the 2nd ingredient which might be rather drying on the skin though it dosent really forms(if i remember correctly)
Not using it now though since my skin is quite sensitive to exfoliations now that im on differin...will consider buying again if i decided to stop using differin hehe

Clarins hydra balance tinted moisturiser spf6
i bought this online and it cost me only about USD34. there is only one colour being sold here in tokyo (bisque). i would think this is not fair enough for fair ladies out there. this is the lighest shade in this line but then it seems a bit dark in my opinion. it fits me just nice though im a NC25-30.
pros: not oily, not sticky, spread onto face easily, smells nice, stays whole day, looks natural
cons: dosent control oil (i have combi skin and my nose got shiny after a while though i dun really mind it at all.) coverage very sheer and spf is too low

Clarins huile tonic body treatment oil
I dont personally fancy the smell of this oil but i like it as i feel it gets absorbed very fast and leaves my skin very silky smooth to the feel. I apply this consistently and i got no stretchmarks at all!!
The SA told me to use the clarins stretchmark cream on top of the oil. i tried following her method(applying oil first then applying the cream on top of it) for a while. no bad skin reactions from this combination but its expensive to use both in the long run and the reviews for this oil seems better than the cream so i decided to use this alone.
Not cheap but great product! No stretchmarks!

Clarins strechmark cream
i had this as a sample. I liked it that it dosent really have any smell and after applying, it absorbed very well. makes my skin felt very smooth and silky and felt barely there. really really light weight. comparing to the toning oil for stretchmark, i will prefer this one except that this is a newer product(i heard) and not much reviews on the effectiveness on stretchmarks... I did not really stick to one brand of stretchmark creams while i was pregnant though.. Used chicco's, galenia, this, clarins toning oil and palmers cocoa butter... Not a single stretchmark!!
Clarins cleansing milk
I tried a sample of the one in green many years back. Didnt feel it really cleanse well. Skin does feel smoother after using it but didnt like it so didnt purchase a full size. Did not break me out either. Though i love clarins, this is not one of my favorite.. Too bad
Clarins gentle foaming cleanser for dry and sensitive skin
This is the first skincare product that i started out with when i was 17 years old. Back then, i was using only this cleanser and nothing else. Not even a makeup remover though i was putting on makeup everyday (just loose powder) It didnt break me out but its nothing amazing as well. I just needed a gentle cleanser and like it that it contains plant extracts. It dosent really foam but its a little drying in my opinion despite it being formulated for dry skin. Im not someone who likes switching products so though this cleanser is just an ok cleanser, i stick with it till now (yes! NOW) just simply because it didnt break me out. Its been 12 years!!! But too bad they changed the formula of their cleanser and the new one comes with shea butter.. Im not too sure if my skin will like it but since i got to change a cleanser, i decided to look for other brands (take a break from clarins. Been a loyal fan for too long! Lol) for my morning cleanser (im only using clarins cleanser in the morning now and a aha cleanser at night).
Reviews for this cleanser is not really good too lol. Anyway its been discotinued...
