At the end of November the skin on my face went CRAZY. I don't know if I was having some kind of allergic reaction or what but my skin got really dry, irritated and red. I was using everything I could possibly find to try and fix it and while my skin did get better I had this persistent dry patch on my cheek that I could not seem to get rid of. I was going through one of my drawers and came across this serum that I had received as a GWP about a year ago and had never tried. I thought why not.
I am not exaggerating when I say that one application of this stuff made my skin so much better! That dry patch that I had for 2 weeks and had tried everything to get rid of was GONE! I have been using this pretty regularly since then and I still have more than half of the bottle left. I love that the texture is really light (like a watery gel) and it is easily absorbed by the skin without feeling heavy or greasy. Some days I don't even need to apply moisturiser on top of it because its so hydrating.
My only complaint was that I once applied the serum and then applied a La Roche Posay moisturiser instead of the usual one I used with it, and I don't know whether I didn't leave the serum on long enough to soak in but my skin started to sting and get red so I had to wash it off. I have never had any problems since then and I'm not sure if it was just a fluke or whether those two products just don't go well together, so I would keep that in mind if you are going to layer a moisturiser on top of this not from the same line. I usually use my Lancome or REN moisturiser and have never had any problems with it. If you are suffering from a persistent dry patch, or your skin is feeling dehydrated I really recommend you trying this out!
Have you tried this product? Do you have a favourite serum?

I love Clarins skincare products, especially The Beauty Flash Balm and the hand cream, so may have to try and get hold of a tester of the serum when I next make a purchase! I've only really tried the Estee Lauder serum which is good but I'm going to branch out and get the Caudalie one next. :) x
