Lovely Regime

I was super stoked to get on this trial....thanks BR! A little bit about my skin, it can be very fussy! I have to be careful what I use as some products set my skin on fire and I often get a horrible irritation. I have redness on my chin and cheeks and get occasional breakouts.

The Clarins Calm-Essentiel redness corrective gel comes in a 30ml tube with a pump. I have been using this in the morning after cleansing but I only put it on my red cheeks and chin. A little bit definitely goes a long way, it has a lovely faint smell and has a green tinge which obviously counteracts the redness. It doesn't do anything dramatic for me and is a step I could happily miss out.

Next the Clarins Calm-Essentiel soothing emulsion. It sounded right up my alley, anything with the words soothing make me want to plaster it all over my face. It has a nice medium consistency which is neither too thick nor runny....it is perfect. It has a lovely faint almost floral smell, I use a pump and a half and gently smooth it around my face. It leaves my face feeling hydrated and smooth. I really like this!

Last is the Clarins Calm-Essentiel restoring treatment oil. I only apply at night after cleansing and moisturising. It has a nice consistency and isn't super runny which I like. It has a nice subtle smell. I use about half a dropper full and massage it all over my face and neck. It sinks in well but still leaves a slight greasy feeling. My face feels super hydrated and smooth. I really like this oil.

Overall this is a lovely regime and perfect for sensitive skin. The only product I wasn't a real fan of was the redness corrective gel. I have really loved being on this trial.

Clarins Essentiel Calming

Clarins has been in and out of my skin care budget for many many years. When I saw they had a new calming range, I jumped at the chance to try it as my skin has become reactive over the past year due to a mix of hormonal red flushes and too many skin products with acids/actives. The Calm-Essentiel Regime is a Sensitive Skin Care range, consisting of a 30ml pump tube Redness corrective gel, a 50ml pump tube Soothing emulsion, and a 30 mil glass bottle/dripulator Restoring treatment oil, all with clary sage extract in the form of a molecule called sclareolide, an explaination of which is on the classic white and red box. The Calm-Essentiel commitment is outlined on the box, info about formula, effectiveness and preserving the planet. Each box outlines benefits of the product, application and ingredients. Benefits include soothing feelings of discomfort, intense hydration, protection against external aggressors, and effects of pollution, revealing skin's beauty. The gel and emulsion both have a herbal fragrance which is different to other Clarins products I've used. It intially took a little getting used to, but is not unpleasant. I used the Redness corrective gel in the morning as a daily moisturiser. It is a cream-gel, with light green pearls and pigments which are to assist with correcting redness associated with fragile, sensitised skin. This gel is instantly cooling on the skin, absorbs well, and my skin felt very hydrated. The redness in my cheeks, while still noticably, was diffused thanks to the green pigment. At night after cleansing my face, I applied the Soothing Emulsion as my night cream. The emulsion is a cream which is neither light nor heavy. It was very hydrating, and my skin felt more comfortable, not as dry. Every other night I added in the Restoring treatment oil, mixing a few drops of the oil into the emulsion in the palm of my hand. The oil is a lovely light texture, almost like a water/oil emulsion, not gluggy or heavy at all, absorbing quickly while leaving a beautiful dewy sheen to the skin. I also used the oil separately in the first week on reactive spots from working in a hot, humid environment, the oil calmed the spots so quickly they were gone overnight. The oil made my skin feel soft and nourished.

After two weeks of using all three products in the regime, my skin looks restored. While I still have my hormone-flushed cheeks, it is definitely an internal reactiion, no longer an external sensitivity. The Calm-Essentiel range has done exactly what it claims to do, intensely hydrate, nourish, and those feelings that fragile skin has, that tight, dry feeling, have gone. I love each product individually as well as together. The Restoring Oil says it is perfect for 'resetting' your skin, and that is what I have seen happen using the entire range, skin that looks much more even in tone, improving day after day.

Tips: If using the Oil and Emulsion at night together, mix in the palm of your hand, dab on face, then smooth remainder on the backs of your hands for deep nourishment.

Clarins Calm-Essentiel Regime

I did enjoy the products other than the corrective gel. Did it do what it said it would do? Not as such but im general, the emulsion cream and oil did make my skin feel nice. I would of loved it if they actually soothed but it's not a deal breaker, I think I'll just stay away from the corrective gel to prevent any further stinging. It would of been great if there were clear instructions on the boxes of what to use first and how to use it. I will continue to use the other 2 products until they're finished but don't think I'd go out of my way to purchase the products as I feel you don't really get the results you should for the steep prices. There are plenty of products that are just as good if not better for a fraction of the price.

The Perfect Trio for Sensitive Skin

I have fallen in love with the new range of Clarins Calm-Essentiel products. The three product regime is one that is easy to use, affordable and the results are outstanding!

I used all three products and found that they complimented each other, each with a different job to do, to restore my skin to healthy, reduced redness and restored hydration. The products are 95% - 98% natural ingredients, that in itself is amazing as knowing what you are putting on your skin is good for the body and soul.

I can truly state that Clarins has produced an amazing product in this regime that helps reduce the wear on my skin. I recommend this to anyone, young or older, with sensitive skin or skin that just needs to be taken care of with that little bit of extra love. You won't be disappointed.

Calm-Essentiel regime

Disclaimer: my skin is over 50, with sensitivity issues, and is well hydrated. These three products are designed for sensitive skin, and they feel really nice. The smell of the oil and emulsion is heavenly and adds to the experience of using them. I found that the emulsion is my favourite out of these three, the oil feels too heavy when used with the emulsion, I found it more effective on its own. A little goes a long way, which is great. No sunscreen factor, which I don't mind. I think that we can be fooled into thinking we have sun protection when it is present in skincare or cosmetics, so I always add mine as a separate step.Would I use these products to replace my Avene regime? Probably only if the price difference is huge.

Life saver!

My my my! Finally a regime that helps soothe my sensitive irritable skin. The regime is pricey but worth it. There are no specific precautions or precise instructions mentioned anywhere on the packaging or tubes. I had to look up Clarins YouTube channel to get the insights. That was very helpful by the way. I have used it for a week and my skin feels smooth and soft and silky. The redness has reduced thanks to corrective gel. I must say for this product to work you have to be consistent and patient. It’s really soothing. I had trouble when I used chemical peel. I had minor tingling on my face when I applied these products but there was no visible redness. It worked for me I hope it works for you. Needless to say it’s safer to use.

Tips: Do watch their YouTube video or talk to their counter person for better guidelines.

Clarins Calm-Essentiel Regime for the win!!!

What can I say, this regime is the best I have ever tried. All the products soothed and hydrated my skin so well that I am going to continue purchasing these when I run out. The regime is great on sensitive skin, as I normally have an issue with most products but this time I haven't. They also do what they say they do, my redness has gone down a lot and my skin has never been so hydrated and soft before.

I used the redness corrector, then the soothing emulsion mixed with the restoring treatment oil for a long lasting coverage all day. At night I just used the restoring treatment oil before bed, which hydrated my skin throughout the night.

Btw did anyone notice that the redness corrective gel has a really nice subtle musk smell?

Great set for my skin

All of the 3 products come in fairly plain cardboard boxes, white with red font - nice and simple with no fancy pictures etc which I quite like. I used all 3 products as a system every day for almost 2 weeks.

I really love the scent of these items - even though it's natural they have still given it a lovely smell which my skin doesn't react to! I used the corrective redness gel in the morning, then the emulsion - this started my skin off soft and fresh for the day before applying makeup. At night time I added some drops of the Restoring Oil to the Emulsion cream and applied after makeup removal, again the scent is the joy for me here - my 8 year old daughter and partner both commenting on how nice it smelt :)

It really made my skin feel soft and hydrated - my skin feels smoother and it has made a small difference to the texture as well and I'm sure with continued use it will become even better!

I really like this regime, however the pricing for me is beyond my budget normally - I would consider saving to purchase again however

Tips: Add some drops of the Restoring oil to the emulsion at night

Awesome!!!

I loved using this regime. It was super gentle on my sensitive skin, and kept me feeling so fresh and hydrated. Although these products did have some element of fragrance, they didn't cause my fragrance-sensitive skin to flare up which is a big win! My favourite product was the restoring treatment oil, it is so rich and hydrating and I would buy it again and again :)

Tips: Mix the treatment oil with the emulsion to make the most hydrating yummy night cream !!!

Wow Clarins Calming effect.

Really happy that I was able to trial this range. I started of the day by using the anti redness gel which is very easy to use and spreads on nicely without leaving a greasy feel. Instantly I could see that this helped reduce the redness on my skin and gave it a smooth finish. I followed up with the emulsion which is my favorite product out of this range. The emulsion helps lock in the moisture and kept my skin hydrated all day. This even worked well under my make up. In fact the anti redness gel is great as a primer.

For my night routine I cleansed as usual and used the emulsion with a drop oil the restoration oil and loved the feel and look it gave my skin. After using this for 10 days I can definitely say that my skin hasn’t broken out and this range has certainly helped calm my irritated dry sensitive skin. I will continue to use these and repurchase this as well. Most days I used this without following up with my normal moisturizer and found that the Clarins Calm essentials range kept my face well hydrated without the greasy or oily shine.

Thank you BR for the opportunity to trial the Clarins Calm essential range of products. Highly recommended for someone who like me is prone to redness and has very sensitive dry skin.

Tips: A little amount goes a long way. Great range Can be used on its own or even followed up with another moisturizer if desired. The anti redness gel works great as a primer.
