Clarins HydraQuench Cream SPF 15

I used to use Clarins products for years and do accept that they are not the cheapest products out on the market which is why I turned my back on them when money got a bit tight and I needed to cut back on some things. That was one decision I shall try to avoid doing again, I know that there are some wonderful cheaper products out there but my skin seemed to have trouble with most of them. I have flare ups, redness, itchy/sore skin, spots you name it my skin got it. So after a while I relented and decided to go back to Clarins. As I hadn't used their products for some time and knew they had brought out some new lines I decided the best thing was ...  Read the complete review

In the never ending search for the ultimate skin cream I finally approached Clarins who boast as being the expert in skin care, as well as one of the priciest. I have very finicky skin, it is prone to redness and sensitive to perfumes and chemicals, it is greasy while at the same time dry and therefore has given me no shortage of heartaches in the cream department.

I love Clarins products and am always keen to try out new products in their range. I always feel their products are great quality although the downside is that they are expensive. The latest product to be put on my skin is the HydraQuench Cream which they describe as "a super-moisturising" cream. A tub which contains 50ml retails for £30. Now I have to confess that I did not pay this but I have a discovery size which is larger than a sample size and usually you get free when they have an offer on that if you buy two products you can choose a couple of these sizes to try. My tube is 30ml so I have really got a good bargain as its worth quite a bit ...  Read the complete review
