You Will Love This If…

If you need fast relief for irritated skin, you’ll love the Clarins Calm-Essentiel Repairing Soothing Balm, especially as its soothing properties can benefit the body as well as the face.

And of course, if you’re a Clarins fan, you’ll love the way that this formula uses natural ingredients to comfort and calm irritated areas. Like many other iconic Clarins formulations that celebrate natural ingredients, this balm is packed with hard-working actives, including clary sage, which was viewed by the Romans as a sacred herb.

Review of the Clarins Calm-Essentiel Balm

Hero Ingredients:

If there’s one thing I always expect from Clarins, it’s this: a powerhouse formula that I know will work. And this ultra-soothing balm is no different. Dry and tight skin is instantly nourished and comforted by a dose of organic shea butter, which provides maximum comfort for both the face and the body. But that’s not all: weak areas of skin are repaired over time by the purified molecule, sclareolide, which is a naturally soothing ingredient derived from clary sage and phytosphingosine; it works to relieve skin flare-ups and help prevent them from reappearing as it makes skin less sensitive to harmful external aggressors.

What Does It Feel Like?

The soothing balm has a thick texture that doesn’t feel greasy or overly heavy; in fact, its smooth texture is soft to the touch and leaves a natural skin-like finish. Ever practical, the balm feels comfortable to wear and can be fully massaged into the skin to be worn under clothing when applied to the body.

What Does It Smell Like?

To ensure the balm is suitable for fragile skin, Clarins have created a musky floral fragrance that has been specially developed for sensitive skin. Lacing all of the products in the Calm-Essentiel skincare line, the delicate and enveloping aroma works to soothe and relax your mind as the formula comforts and calms your skin.

How Do You Use The Product?

Apply the balm as often as needed; use at the end of your skincare routine and throughout the day if irritation occurs. Smooth or dab a thick layer directly onto weakened areas of skin and gently press down two to three times for a few seconds to allow the majority of the balm to skin in. Massage in any excess.

What’s Special About The Design?

The sleek baby pink and white ombre packaging is gentle and calming to look at – just like the formula within. The perfect size to slip into your bag or travel case, the sturdy pump makes on-the-go application easy and mess-free, allowing the formula to remain pure and hygienic as it won’t come into contact with dirt or fingertips before application.

Values?

The outer cardboard carton has been made from responsible, FSC-certified materials and it’s also fully recyclable. The tube contains recycled plastic too.
