I just love Clarins products and just wish they weren't quite so pricey - well, my daughter loves them too as presents! I'll certainly try out the flash balm as my skin is rather more wrinkly than usual in this weather!

I have often wondered about the flash balm and am keen to give it a try after reading these reviews. The only Clarins product I have ever tried is the handcream which is probably the best I have ever used. I have also tried Liz Earle products but they are not rich enough for my now dry skin. I love Dermalogica, especially Dermalogica intensive moisture balance which is fantastic but I am tempted to diversify now...

I have been using Clarins for years, the flash balm is great and gives your face a lovely healthy glow.

I am very lucky that my sister and daughter have bought me loads of Clarins for my birthday (all wrapped up so I cant see it yet) but I will post reviews on this site as I try things out. the Alpine herb cleaner is very good, nourishing as well as cleansing and I don't feel tight and dry afterwards. the toner is lovely and doesn't leave me dry either.

That's interesting susiecb I am a total Liz Earle convert of many years but like you am finding my skin much drier these days. It feels disloyal to contemplate another brand but maybe I need to rethink.

Its wonderful and their is a flash balm for eyes too. I have just switched from years of Liz Earle to Clarins as my skin has become a lot drier this winter and also on a low fat diet which i think might be contributing. Their orchid oil at night is wonderful a few days of that has restored my peachinesssmile

Love it!

Use it if going out in the evening. It seems to give the skin a bit of a 'lift' and stops me looking tired. Got some as a free gift and as I rarely go out in the evenings its lasted for quite a while, but when I finish it I will probably invest in some more.

It's great for a quick boost to the skin, it makes you glow.

Yes, I used it years ago whenever I went to a dinner dance (usually a very long night!) It tightens the skin slightly and stops your face from "sagging" towards the end of the evening.
Sounds horrendous doesn't it? grin But it did seem to help. hmm
