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.

Oh it’s awful! Especially as it gets colder. Got very dry skin, super sensitive, and lots of redness. I’ve tried so many products to ease the sensitivity but to not much avail. This range is the only thing that’s ever made a massive difference and I could never go back!

My skin goes through ill-timed phases and my skin can be sensitive. Redness is a real problem when this happens and also flakey skin - especially forehead and temples. The rest of the time it’s normal and great - I often wonder if hormones cause some of my issues.

My Skin ...!! I'm at the end of my tether with it. Just don't know what it's going to accept and improve with now. It's become super-hyper-sensitive; very dry, plus oily and congested in the T-zone. It's 'colourful', too, with far too much redness and blotchiness everywhere. I can't give all skincare products a rest, so have gone right back to basics. Organic coconut oil was suggested. Great, swift results, including congested pores, blackheads, and pimples. Aargh! No doubt the majorly stressful situation I'm in is not helping, but I'd really like to try Clarins Calm-Essential Emulsion, Redness Corrective Gel, and Restoring Treatment oil. Each of these products speaks volumes to my skin disorders, and to me. Abundant Calm-Essentials needed for my skin - and life. Breathing in this vision! Bliss xx

I have pale delicate sensitive skin, I blush at the drop of a hat, I have dry areas that often get a bit flaky in winter, my skin just soaks up all the moisture cream and can't get enough of hydrating.

28th May, 2021

Oh wow this sounds so lovely. Winter wrecks havoc with my skin especially with being a teacher aide and being in and out of classrooms from hot to cold air it just drys out my skin. What a treat to try this.

My skin is dry/oily/sensitive....basically just confused I think!! I have redness, and I get dry patches while still being oily in the T zone. Playing sport in winter definitely doesn't help! I am trying to look after it as best I can but get a little lost with all of the products available, and I notice the imperfections more as I get older!

28th May, 2021

My skin is sensitive - it gets dry and itchy, and has red spots/patches - especially in winter! I can't use harsh skincare so I'd love to try the Calm-Essential range to see if it's my new go-to skincare!

28th May, 2021

This sounds fab! My skin is extra dry, tight and itchy at the moment with the cold winter weather here in the South and has been up-and-down since having a baby last year. I've tried a few different products in recent years to try and relieve this, but as yet nothing has managed to do the job well enough. Instead, I find that I need to keep applying moisturiser during the day to the dry patches which in turn causes mini-breakouts and irritation. I would love to try this range.

28th May, 2021

Ooo this sounds exactly like what I need. I have very irritated, eczema prone and sensitive skin. The change in seasons is currently doing a number on my skin so an at home spa session with the Calm-essential range would be worth it's weight in gold right now!

I simply love Clarins products and have always noticed how good my dry, sensitive skin feels after using them. They are simply one of the best French brands you can buy and found everywhere in French pharmacies. My daughter also loves Clarins and likes to use their gorgeous products. So WE would love to have a chance to try these selected Clarins self-care products. Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity! Merci beaucoup!

I have facial burn scarring from a fire when I was little, due to this my skin is very sensitive and I suffer from redness which I need to cover with makeup. The spa treatment sounds divine!!

28th May, 2021

My skin is always in a state of flux. Dry and itchy in the cooler weather means always searching for that magic elixir that will soothe my desperado skin. With full time work and busy life as a mum of two, life certainly doesn’t have many moments of ‘calm’ which is why I’ll take all the serenity I can get. Even if it only skin deep. Would adore winning this beautiful prize.

I never used to have fussy skin. Then I started getting older, worked outdoors instead of in, and found my skin changed considerably. Unless I get the right product I get red and itchy (and even have had to have steroid medication with some toners!)

28th May, 2021

Being a busy Mum of 3, I don't have a lot of time for spa treatments! What a lovely set of products to create that experience! I would love to try them!

28th May, 2021

My skin is more dry and sensitive in the colder weather, especially around my eye area. I also have tiny broken red veins on my cheeks which would probably be helped by the Redness Corrective Gel, so I would love to try this regimen.
