  • Glowy, hydrated complexion results
  • Elegant, pleasant product scents
  • Plush, non-sticky lip textures
  • Soothing, fast-absorbing formulations
  • Inadequate winter hydration performance
  • Occasional lip oil texture issues
  • Unproven lifting effectiveness claims
  • Animal testing ethics concerns

Clarins earns positive reviews and is considered effective, with standouts like Double Serum, Double Serum Foundation, and Natural Lip Perfector delivering glow, hydration, and plush, non‑sticky textures; however, some users note insufficient hydration for very dry winter skin, occasional lip oil texture changes, and concerns about animal testing. Reviews praise soothing, fast‑absorbing formulas and elegant scents, but question anti‑aging claims and long‑term lifting results.

  • The best innovation yet. A double serum foundation. Clarins kills the skincare and makeup game yet again. A serum and a foundation in 1 product. Also has such a beautiful scent to it as well. It leave my skin looking so glowy hydrated.

  • Love the texture and scent of this product. It’s a nice weight that melts into your skin, and leaves your skin glowy and feeling hydrated all day. I only had about a week’s worth of product so I can’t speak on the effectiveness on fine lines. But overall, I like this product for an everyday moisturizer.

  • The lip perfector and oil are great and hydrating. The range of shades is divine, and particularly the scents of the lip perfector are so yummy (cake batter and so on). It’s always part of my go-to lip combo.

  • I’ve tried the lip oil and lip perfector and between both I perfected the latter. The scent is unmatchable, literally birthday cake. The applicator for both is amazing, plumpy, and poofy. The lip oil at the end does get a weird texture but that said no other issues.

  • This mask does what it claims. My face feels so cool while it’s on, and glows after I wash it off. It’s non-irritating and gives that “ice-roller” effect. Unsure if it really “lifts” my skin but I think it’s a great self care ritual.

  • I have had so many different products by Clarins, but the one that i was refiling more often than any other is this double serum. that makes your skin hydrated and looking shining and fresh, it also helps as anti aging product

  • This gloss is such a sensory treat—the smell is amazing, and the texture is thick yet plush and non-sticky. It leaves lips looking juicy and full with a high-shine finish that actually lasts. Plus, it feels super moisturizing throughout wear.

  • I started using this Clarins Multi‑Active Jour niacinamide cream and really love its brightening and smoothing effect—it gives my skin a fresh, glowy boost every morning. 🌿 It absorbs fast and feels light, perfect for all skin types, but I did notice it’s not ultra-hydrating for very dry skin in winter. Still, it’s become my go-to day cream for an effortless radiant look! 😊

  • This cream is super rich and comforting—perfect for dry or dehydrated skin. It keeps my face soft and moisturized all day without feeling greasy. I love using it as a night cream or in colder weather. 💙💦

  • This lip perfector feels super smooth and comfortable on the lips. Great for all skin types, especially dry or chapped lips. Rich formula with shea butter and plant extracts that deeply hydrate. Gives a natural shine and plumps lips without any sticky feeling.

  • such a good brand. Their products are such good quality. I have the double serum, and this is my favorite serum ive ever used on my face. I think they sell it everytwhere which is nice too because I hate searching for things in different websites

  • To be honest, I am not a big fan of lip products, but the Lip Perfector in shade 25 is my go to. I saw it all over social media, it went viral, and I really wanted to try it. I was a bit scared it would be too dark, but you can layer it to control the intensity. It has a very nice texture and a light pleasant scent. Such a beautiful rich berry shade🫦 🍇

  • My favourite brand for 20 years. The foundation and day cream protect my face from the sun. I use them every day, even if I go to the beach. Now I don't have any age spots. The night cream nourishes my skin which gets dry after I wash my face with water. And the mascara is the best mascara I've ever used. Doesn't roll off, doesn't lose quality for over a year. My lashes don't stick together.

  • I received this as one of my two samples at sephora. It's white and creamy. It absorbs quickly. It doesn't look oily or greasy. It brightened up my undereyes also. All that with just the first application. Usually with sample packs you can't see a difference because there's not enough product to get the full effect, but with this I could tell a difference right away. The only problem is when I looked it up to see the price it's $92. That's just too much for me.

  • Multi-Active Night Face Cream - All Skin Types is a bit thicker than the daytime moisturizer but not super thick. As soon as you rub it in it feels like my skin is no longer tight or dry. It feels very soothing and hydrating. It has a very light, subtle scent. My skin feels really good with it on.

  • I used to love Clairins of Paris because they stopped using animals in testing their products. Now they are testing them so they can enter markets that have laws prohibiting products unless they are tested on animals. I will look elsewhere.

  • Have used a lot of Clarins product over the years, the micellar water, foaming cleanser but the one that I keep going back is definitely the double serum. Lovely for winter. Soothing and helps balance the oil and water level of my skin. But is on a pricey side.

  • I like this light serum. This is great for Spring and Summer times. I see great smoothness and my skin is hydrated. It absorbs really well and isn't sticky. My skin feels so good after applying this. I used this in the morning and night for a week already and every day I see better results. It has a double serum in the container. I see my pores looking way smaller. Love this stuff. This is a lifelong commitment because it is the perfect summer serum.

  • I have been using Clarins products for 15 years. I am now 51 and my skin has no wrinkles aside for a few fine lines. I swear by their products especially their Hydra-Essential line and dual serum. They are pricey but worth it.

  • Have been loving their double serum, after seeing it all over Tiktok I was definitely intrigued. So when the time came to revamp on my Vitamin C serum, I purchased their serum and have been losing it.
