Clarins Tonic Bath & Shower Concentrate Review
I am always on the hunt for products that provide ultimate relaxation after a long, stressful day and give me a sense of complete well-being. That’s exactly what Clarins Tonic Bath & Shower Concentrate aims to achieve. With 96% of women claiming it eased their nerves, I knew I had to try it. So, I ran myself a long, hot bath and put it to the test.
The most important thing about this body wash is that it goes beyond being a typical wash. Not only does it have a unique formula infused with essential oils for an enhanced experience, but it also comes in a refill format. Personally, the refill aspect sets this product apart for me, offering both cost-effective and eco-friendly benefits.
You will love this if you appreciate the refill concept. If you’re already a fan of the concentrate, then this is perfect for you. It’s incredibly convenient to pour this product into your existing bottle, making it hassle-free. If you haven’t tried this product before, you’ll be delighted to know that it now has its own refill option, ensuring you’ll repurchase it.
In line with Clarins’ brand, this wash has an aromatic quality that goes beyond a typical shower gel. With its multi-purpose functionality for bath and shower use, this concentrate creates a deeply relaxed feeling, promoting well-being and stability.
Hero Ingredients
With 98% natural ingredients, the star of the show here is the essential oils that elevate this wash from basic to sensorial pleasure. The crystallized field mint oil provides an almost icy effect, delivering an immediate and lasting sensation of intense, invigorating freshness.
It promotes mental well-being and helps ease muscle pain. Rosemary oil, derived from a small fragrant plant, adds a touch of sweetness to this wash. It relaxes sore muscles, cleanses the skin, calms inflammation, and has toning properties that leave your skin silky smooth.
Geranium oil adds a sweet aroma reminiscent of rose, uplifting the mood and relieving anxiety. With antiseptic and astringent properties, this oil clears and mattifies the skin while balancing sebum production, bidding farewell to any pesky bacne.
What Skin Type Is It For?
Due to its gentle nature, this product can be used for all skin types. However, if you have sensitive skin like mine, be aware that it has a strong fragrance to promote well-being, which may irritate more delicate skin types. For me, it worked perfectly fine and caused no redness or itchiness.
What Does It Feel Like?
The texture of this product is clear and gel-like, similar to a typical shower wash or bubble bath. It lathers nicely on the skin, providing a clean, fresh feeling further enhanced by the scent. It feels like an at-home spa experience, offering deeper pampering.
What Does It Smell Like?
Field mint plays a significant role here, and its presence is noticeable when using this product. However, the scent is not overpowering, which relieves those who aren’t fans of strong menthol fragrances. The rosemary oil complements the mint, creating a deeper, more layered scent. It reminds me of a forest walk after a heavy rainfall—fresh, enveloping, and not overwhelming.
How Do You Use the Product?
Pour the entire refill packet into your Tonic body wash bottle. Ensure your original bottle is empty, not rinsed or washed, between refills. This product can be used in both the bath and shower, offering versatility. In the bath, pour a small amount of the product into the bathtub while running the water. Massage the lather onto the skin.
