The Clarins Calm-Essentiel Soothing Emulsion comes in classic Clarins white and red packaging. I liked the pump on it and found it worked well.
The product is a white cream that feels light initially, but packs a hydration punch. It sinks in quickly and its light, floral scent doesn't hang around too long. My sensitive skin really enjoyed this moisturiser, and it worked well both during the day and overnight. While trialing it my skin felt lovely, and I really enjoyed the experience of using it.
Would I recommend this? Absolutely.
To provide some context, I have very dry sensitive skin with rosacea. The type of rosacea I have its red hot skin with occasional pustules which is basically acne. I have been searching for a regime that works for me.
Wow the smell of this is amazing! It made me quite nervous to use as fragrance is something people with rosacea avoid... I trusted the sensitive label and used as directed. NO FLARE UP!!!!! I was over the moon when my face felt calm and soothed. I can finally use a beautiful smelling product and not burn my face off!!
I found this cream particularly amazing when I was mid flare up. This can happen at random times but most often after exercise or being out in the heat. When I put it on my face it's almost like a big sigh of relief to reduce the heat and calm it down.
I will absolutely be purchasing this again. Huge recommendation from me.
Tips: At night combine with the treatment oil so overnight your face can heal and be ready for the next day.
