The Top Rated At Home Spa Experience For Sensitive Skin!

Those with sensitive skin know how finicky it can be. Dryness, tightness, discomfort and random breakouts are just a few signs of sensitive skin. Having reactive skin can make it hard to find a skincare regimen you trust, and visiting a spa for a facial can be out of the question as you've no idea how your skin will respond to the products used. That's why we love that Clarins has come out with the Calm-Essentiel range, which is designed to create an in-home spa experience for sensitive skin.

We recently sent Beauty Review members the regimen to trial and the results were wonderful, with every product receiving the Top Rated badge, and the range receiving a 4.6/5 rating. Not only did reviewers see the appearance of redness reduced, flakiness disappear and beautifully hydrated skin, they also enjoyed an experience of self-care with a custom application method that gave a spa experience at home. Want to recreate it?

Clarins Calm-Essentiel Soothing Emulsion - rated 4.7/5

First things first, cleanse your skin then gently pat dry. Pump a little emulsion into your hands, then warm the product in your hands before applying so as not to shock your sensitive skin. Apply the emulsion with light pressure, and don't forget to bring it down your neck and decollété.

Clarins Calm-Essentiel Redness Corrective Gel - rated 4.2/5

If you are experiencing occasional redness, apply the Calm-Essentiel Redness Corrective Gel where required. Redness appears reduced due to the gel's green pearls and pigments. Its refreshing texture melts into the skin, intensely moisturising and protecting.

Clarins Calm-Essentiel Restoring Treating Oil - rated 4.4/5

If you find your skin needs a hydration boost, an oil is the perfect way to nourish your skin at night. A few drops into your palm, warmed between your hands and then applied to your face is a soothing treat your skin will love.

Finally, finish with what Clarins calls a 'cocoon wrap'. A comforting experience that's designed to relax you, by placing your hands around your ears and temples while pressing for five seconds. Take a moment here to inhale, then exhale, and relax.

All in all the experience doesn’t take more than a few minutes, but they're a few minutes of self-care, where you can take a moment out of your day to focus on yourself, while treating your sensitive skin. Bliss.

I tend to break out, red blotches, warmed skin if I dont use sensitive skin products. Especially went they have a strong fragrance as well

I have dry sensitive flaky skin and have love LOVED using these products since being sent them. A godsend to winter skin and my skin has appreciated them so much. Would love to keep using them going forward

My skin started becoming sensitive as a teenager and has become progressively worse as I get older. I've had reactions from everything from toilet paper to washing liquid to shampoo to plasters to sunscreen. It's usually some sort of additive that sets me off so I try my best to buy sls and paraben free. I recently had a shoulder reconstruction and believe that I reacted to whatever chemical they put on my arm before surgery (it was pink) which resulted in a dull blown chemical burn followed by blisters and a raging skin infection under my armpit and elbow, followed by my skin peeling for a month afterwards. My skin is a combination of oily/ dry, with uneven skin tone, occasional small breakouts and spider veins. I would love to give these products a try. They could be my next go to and if they suit my sensitive skin I'm sure they will work for many others.

Post 40, oh man, where do I start? Haha! I get dry patches & redness more now, and also, what’s the deal with those 40+ acne breakouts? Ugh. I hate that! Acne should not be happening at around the same time that you are edging towards menopause, that’s just cruel… But dry patches and redness are my sensitive skin issues at the moment, and I’ve found that those particular issues tend to get worse around the winter months. Anyway, I’d love to try this new Clarins Calm-Essentiel range as it looks like it could do the trick with my sensitive skin issues. Clarins products are usually awesome, so I reckon this set would work well on many of us!

My skin has become more and more sensitive. It is dry overall but I have patches that are extremely dry and many creams and moisturisers make it worse. It is also very red and gets very hot. I haven't tried Clairns products before so would love to give them a try

30th May, 2021

I am definitely noticing a shift in my skin post 30! There is a lot more redness, a lot less even tone, and I need a lot more dense hydration than normal. I would love a whole new skin regime, with products that compliement one and other this well!

What a fabulous prize! Clarins has an amazing range of products. I am finding my skin getting a bit dryer and sensitive round the eye area due to menopause and would love to try this regime. Love using an oil in the evenings before bed.

30th May, 2021

This sounds like an amazing range. Clarins is such a good brand and targeting those with sensitive skin who wouldn't want to try this? My skin gets drier and more sensitive in the winter season so I would love to win this :-)

I have sensitive skin. It's hard to find good products to meet my skin's needs.

29th May, 2021

This is a gorgeous regime and my skin loved it!

29th May, 2021

I would enjoy using this range for some extra pampering. My skin wouldn't be classified as sensitive skin, however I like to use products for sensitive skin because I find they are less likely to contain perfume or to be harsh or irritate the skin.

29th May, 2021

I would love to try this range - I think I have been over doing it with harsh products which I have been using to help with annoying breakouts, and my skin is dry and itchy and generally not happy around my nose and cheeks. The reviews sound great.

29th May, 2021

Oh I would love to win this. My sensitivity is to fragrances. Some products are full on with their fragrance and I can't use them. My Mum uses Clarins and the products are gentle on smell

29th May, 2021

I would love the chance to win one of the calm essential range, my skin has been sensitive for years, every time I try a new product on my skin even a night cream, my face then reacts and starts to go red, I used a vitamin c serum and it went crazy, spots starting coming up, I just don't know what is good for my skin anymore, so something calming from Clarins, might help,,, fingers crossed.

29th May, 2021

The restoring oil sounds like a wonderful night time ritual. I’ve always had pretty strong skin but the latest sunblock I purchased felt warm on my face so hoping I’m not developing a sensitivity in my mid 40s.
