Has anyone tried Clarins?

It is expensive but I like that the products are plant based. Looking at the products on their

website but have not ever used. We don't have any stores near by that sell the line.

Does anyone like this skin care line and are the results good?

I have used Clarins for 27 years! It is a Wonderful line! Their oils are the BEST! I use the face oil for dry skin & the body oil, the natural scent of the oils is very clean!! Their hand cream is one of the best I have used! I highly recommend all Clarins products!

Clarins for me! Everything I 've used from C. I love (except for one heavy duty moisturizer in a dark red jar). Their basic creme gel is so good, even under my eyes. It lasts along time, a little at a time.

It helps to know what issues you're trying to treat because the line does have a large range of items. That said, I enjoy almost everything from Clarins. I used to be a Dr. Perricone fan, but Clarins' multi-active line has replaced all of my previous products and given me far better results. The body products are amazing.

I like the Clarins website because they offer three samples per order, but if you want to try one or two products I recommend ordering them from Nordstrom (same price) because you have free shipping and returns are also free and very easy.

Yes I have. For me they are overpriced and I find the ingredients nothing to write home about.

Clarins is my favorite go-to skincare brand (I'm 33) Yes, the items are pricey, but the products last a long time and perform wonderfully. However, I am not a big of a fan of their makeup (except the Be Long mascara is great) so I stick with the skincare because it's phenomenal! TODAY is the last day for Friends and Family...save 25% off any 3 products on their website. I stocked up twice in the last week and a half. The code is CLARINSFF14

I've only tried their cosmetics. You can check ebay for samples. Sellers offer them for a few dollars. I found the foundation full size for half price!

I used it years ago and loved it. Now I'm very sensitive to fragance and just can't stand the way it smells. It's not strong and I think it's just me. Have you tried Origins? I think most of it is plant based and I believe it's less expensive.

Thanks so much for the replies. I have products to use up but thought I might try a totally different skin care line. I am sensitive to strong fragrances too. I tried an organic shampoo and conditioner from CVS and like it but cannot stand the scent!!! So I have to through it out.

Clarins is a bit pricey for me for now so might try something else. At least with Skinn or Suzanne Somers you can get kits that have more products for less money than getting products one at a time

I had an issue with the scents. If you have allergies, this line may be problematic for you.

I do have allergies and react to strong scents. I wont try this line. Thank you all

I was a faithful user of this brand years ago and loved it! I do believe, however, that it has changed and CS isn't quite as good. Years ago, they would have in-store complete facials and makeovers with the experts who would analyze your skin and recommend products. They were also very very generous with samples that came in little containers that were easily 10 days worth of product. Saved a lot of money when you wanted to try something new. All this has gone by. I don't really know why I discontinued using, but every-once-in-a-while, I get a nostalgic and stop by the counter to look. Products are much more expensive and I never seem to plunge back in.

They have a wonderful sunblock that does not sting and is not greasy or feels heavy during the summer, also comes in a tint.

I tried Origins several years ago but didn't use them after that. Guess they didn't work well for me

CherryHugs - I'm not sure what you're referring to. Is it Origins that you no longer use, or is it Clarins.

I visited the Clarins counter at my Macy's yesterday and got a free facial and make-over. Was impressed all over again about this line. They have some really great kits right now and I was tempted. But I got some samples to try before I take the plunge because it is not cheap!

I have been using Clarins for 4 years. Excellent skin care and makeup. My skin looks fantastic. Watch for their value sets and GWPs so you can get the most bang for your buck. They are everywhere NOW..Carsons, Macys, etc. This is the time to try and buy. They are very generous with samples. Siign up for CLUB CLARINS on line after you make any purchases. This is a wonderful rewards program...its free. As we all know, not many high end cosmetic lines give anything free. Please give it a try, I think you'll be happy.

I tried their primer and liked it. But it was too expensive. I like Benefit primer that has a tint a lot better. And a little goes a long way.
