Spring Skincare Sussed Thanks To Clarins!

One of my favorite skincare brands is without a doubt Clarins (does anyone remember how Obsessed I was and still am about the anti pollution cleansing balm? amazing!). Now that it's Spring, I'm looking to switch up my skincare routine from Winter and Clarins are definitely fitting the bill.

The Clarins Multi Active Jour Antioxidant Day Cream is a new release from the brand and describes itself as "Early Wrinkle Correction". I am aaaaallll for that girls! I'm coming 30 this year and while I'm not really experiencing too many wrinkles yet, I definitely want to slay them from my face before they make an appearance.
The first thing I noticed is how fragranced this is. Normally with Clarins, their products have a slight scent but this one was quite overwhelming. It definitely faded after application but for me this was maaaaybe a little bit too scented for my preference. The color is a pale pink and once applied is completely clear (total mystery to me, how does this happen?)

It glides on the skin and feels a little bit like I've just stepped out of the shower. My skin feels super hydrated once it sits into the skin and it feels that way all day long. I've used this religiously for about 2 weeks before writing up this review to make sure I've tested it properly and I would say in general my skin feels more hydrated and supple since using it.
Teaming this with the Clarins Multi Active Nuit cream (night cream) is a winning combination.  I apply this at night time right before bed because if I apply it anytime before then, I will literally scratch my face off.  I'm one of those people who just cannot stand the feeling of having anything on my skin in my down time. When I've had a full face of makeup on, the first thing I do when I get home is take it all off. I just hate feeling like I can't touch my skin without getting makeup everywhere or whatever. I like feeling clean.

Moving on from my hygiene freak rant.  By the time I wake up in the morning, my skin feels really smooth and fresh.  I only use the night cream every second night because I don't want to have any build up on my skin so like it give it a rest every second night. I love using the combination of the two and my skin definitely feels the better of using them. I actually prefer the Clarins night cream to my Khiels midnight recovery oil. I know the two products are completely different but I definitely prefer a cream to an oil.
Have you tried the new Clarins Multi Active range? Which skincare products are you loving right now?
