My Review: 

I’ve been using the Clarins Extra Firming Body Cream for about 3 weeks now and am very impressed with the results so far! It has a rich, creamy texture that feels luxurious when applying. My skin instantly feels smoother and deeply moisturized after each use. I focus most of my application efforts on my stomach area where I struggle with some loose skin and sagging after having kids. This cream has firmed up this area remarkably! The skin on my stomach now has a tighter, more toned appearance. I also apply it to my upper arms and thighs a few times a week when I remember and have seen subtle improvements in the firmness there as well. Overall, if you struggle with sagging skin anywhere on your body, I highly recommend giving this Clarins cream a try! The soothing plant-based ingredients deliver real firming results.

Are the any Potential Side Effect?

As with any topical skin care product, there is a small risk for an allergic reaction or irritation to occur. If using this cream causes unusual redness, rash, swelling or any discomfort, discontinue use. Overall this Clarins lotion is non-comedogenic, fragrance and lanolin-free making it less likely to cause negative reactions. However please patch test before applying all over the body.

How soon can I expect results using this cream?

Most notice subtle improvements in skin firmness and tone within 2-3 weeks of consistent use. Maximum tightening effects are typically achieved around 8 weeks.

Does this cream cause breakouts?  

This non-comedogenic, oil-free formula is suitable for acne-prone skin and unlikely to clog pores or cause body acne. However, reactions vary person-to-person.  

Does it work on stretch marks?

While not specifically intended to treat stretch marks, some have found that the nourishing plant oils and skin-plumping ingredients in this cream help reduce the appearance of stretch marks over time with regular use.

Does it have a strong scent?

No, this body cream has a very light,clean scent from the botanical ingredients that dissipates shortly after application.

What skin types can use this?

This Clarins cream is suitable for all skin types but does not contain SPF. Those with very dry skin may alternate use with a richer moisturizer.  

Where is this body lotion produced?

All Clarins skincare products are made in France using high quality plant-based formulas.
