MY OPINION

I have been using this cleanser for almost 2 months now and have seen really good results. It really does what it claims. It moisturizes the skin after washing. The scent is very mild and does not irritate my nose especially I’m quite sensitive with heavy fragrance, I start sneezing.

After washing it with lukewarm water, the scent disappears too. It leaves the skin clean, smooth and hydrated. I have not experience any tightness or that feeling of dryness but I do apply a toner right after just to keep that moisture in and reduce the size of my pores.

So far my skin has been loving this cleanser. No regrets in buying it. Since I only need a pea size to cover my entire face, this will probably last me for about 5 to more months. You’ll get about 150g / 5.29 oz.

DIRECTIONS
Dispense an appropriate amount. Gently cleanse the face in a massaging motion and wash off with lukewarm water.

MY OPINION

I found out about this amazing product when I attended CLARINS workshop in Rustans Ayala Cebu. I fell in love with it the first time I applied it on the back of my hands. It glides in smoothly with a hint of color. The scent was very mild too.

It is said to moisturize, repair and protect the lips from day-to-day to have that attractive beautifully plumed lips. I can vouch for this as I use it everyday ever since I bought it.
It is sheer but it has enough color that you can wear it by itself or wear it on top of your fave lipstick! I do that myself!

I normally wear it to or from work and on those days when I do errands, I apply it alone then I’m good to go. It can last up to 4-5 hours from first application. BUT for me , I apply it just whenever I want. 🙂
If you are always on a tight schedule or you are the type of person who is always on a hurry, this one should be part of your GO TO product. A must have in your everyday lip routine!

APPLICATION

Wear it alone or on top of your fave lipstick.
