Clarins Cleansing Milk With Alpine Herbs

great for dry skin

i use this in the winter, when i have particularly dry skin. my mother is a devotee and i have to agree, it really helps dry and irritated skin, does a good job moisturizing.. smells nice, too, which is an added plus.

Clarins UV Plus Day Screen SPF 40

my favorite sunscreen

i have tried every moisturizer with spf that i can find and they usually are heavy, make me break out and leave me greasy. i've given up and have been using clarins uv plus for a while. it's light, doesn't leave a slick of oil on my face and works amazingly well. i used it in vegas last week and after a full day in the sun i was the same color i started while everyone else was burned to a crisp. a great sunscreen.

Clarins Self Tanning Instant Gel

for that non-orange glow

i have very fair skin and clarins is the only self-tanner i have found that does not leave me orange. nor does it leave me smelling like i spend serious time dipping myself in vats of noxious chemicals. my mother and i have used this for years.

H2O+ Eye Oasis Moisture Replenishing Treatment

a nice moisturizer

i use this both morning and night under my eye treatment and it serves to keep my eyes moisturized through the day. i am prone to dry red patches under my eyes and they haven't been an issue. i am highly sensitive to eye moisturizers in general and trying new products is a crap shoot that often results in swollen, itchy hives. i've never had a problem with h2o plus.

H2O+ Marine Toner

gentle and non-drying

A good basic toner that does not dry out or irritate sensitive skin. if you're trying to stop inundating your face with boatloads of chemicals, h2o plus is a decent alternative.

H2O+ Sea Marine Revitalizing Shampoo

not for the olfactorily acute

I found the smell to be over-powering, to the point where it gave me a headache. my husband also found it to be excessive. that being said, it did a decent job moisturizing my treated hair, though i thought it a bit heavy.

H2O+ Eye Mender Plus

so-so player

nothing to write home about product. i've been on the hunt for a decent eye moisturizer and while i tend to be a fan of the h2o+ line this didn't impress. no change in term of fine lines or wrinkles.

Clinique All About Eyes Rich

decent day player

a decent moisturizer. does nothing to perk those saggy dark eyes up, but is good for basic dryness.

Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief

answer to summer thirst

wonderfully soothing, perfect for sensitive skin. i used clarins gentle day cream for many years and was looking for a less expensive alternative. my sensitive skin did not break out and looked nicely refreshed and dewy.

I've been on the hunt for a good antioxidant serum and recently tried a sample of paula's choice. i found both my tone and texture to have improved. goes on light and won't leave you greasy. i have extremely sensitive skin and this did not make me break out.
