Hi friends,
Summer brings so many hassles of keeping your skin cleansed and oil-free all the time. Do you agree? I definitely have to add a couple of things and steps in my routine to take care of my summer skin. I am usually very particular about my cleansers, more than
anything else. This may be because of my oily-combination skin. I always aim to
look for the cleansers that can take off all the dirt and oil from my face,
while keeping the moisture intact. Usually getting an ideal cleanser of this
type is sort of tricky, from what I've experienced so far. I got a deluxe sample
of Clarins Paris White Plus HP Pearl to Cream Brightening Cleanser in March and
have used it a couple of times so far. Let us check out more details below:
Clarins White Plus HP Pearl-to-Cream Brightening Cleanser is a creamy texture and a lightweight foam which perfectly cleanses the skin, tightens pores and brightens the complexion while respecting the hydrolipidic film. Skin is fresh, soft and comfortable.
Price for the quantity:
Ingredients:
- Jua from Brazil: cleansing action, eliminates impurities while respecting the hydrolipidic film.
- Alchemilla: brightening action.
- Flavonoids from parsley: stimulate blood and lymphatic drainage, enhance complexion radiance.
- Tannins from alchemilla: purify and tighten pores.
Skin Type: Normal, Dry, Combination, Oily
Texture: Cream
My experience with this cleanser:
The cleanser comes in a pearly white color with a creamy
consistency. Just a small pea sized product is more than enough to create
decent lather for the whole face. I like the fact that it creates a rich lather
and gives a nice squeaky cleansed feeling to my skin on washing it off. One
good thing that I've felt about this cleanser is that, unlike other cleansers
that create rich lather, this cleanser doesn't dry out my skin much. I do apply
a moisturizer after washing my face with this, but even if I get a bit delayed
in doing so, there is no uncomfortable dry-stretchy feeling on my skin. I feel
refreshed and cleansed and my skin feels soft too. So on that note check out
some of the likes and dislikes that I've felt about it below:
Likes:
1) Comes with a nice creamy consistency that is easy to work
with on the face.
2) A very small amount is apt enough to create decent lather
to cleanse whole face.
3) It does cleanse my face thoroughly of all the oil and
dirt, giving it a fresh glow, while softening my skin at the same time.
4) I didn't experience any drastic dryness after washing my
face using this. Just a soft cleansed feeling, after which I anyway apply my
moisturizer.
5) Didn’t give me any kind of breakouts or allergic
reactions.
Dislikes:
1) It is slightly mild cleanser, hence doesn't remove makeup
thoroughly. I still need my makeup remover to clear off all my makeup, before
washing my face using this.
2) Availability is an issue, and seeing the trend these days
about mostly expired foreign brand products getting sold on online websites,
I'd suggest you better check it out at its counter only. You can always check
the expiry date of your product by using the product's code at
www.checkcosmetics.net
Overall:
I find it a decent cleanser. I can't comment anything about lightening or
brightening as I didn't notice anything either except for nicely cleansed face,
and frankly speaking I don't understand how can a cleanser lighten or brighten
your skin. I usually rely on my skin creams for that. Also, since I don't have much visible pores, I didn't see much difference there either. It cleanses well, while nourishing my skin too. As a very small amount
of this product can work well for whole face and neck, it'd definitely run for
a long time. Overall, a good cleanser.
