Clarins Blue Orchid Face Treatment Oil Review

Clarins directs the classic method: a few drops warmed in the palms, then pressed over a face left damp from cleansing or toning, with the warmth of the hands doing the spreading. Worked that way, the oil behaves like a short facial massage medium, and owners who adopt the ritual tend to become the product's longest serving fans. The aroma is the honest divider. It is a composed, spa like scent with patchouli in it, noticeable at application and present in the room for a while after. Readers who find that luxurious and readers who find it intrusive are both describing the same bottle accurately.

Owners praise the morning after most: skin waking softer, less tight, and more comfortable than the night before, especially in heated or air conditioned rooms. The ritual itself is the second theme, with long term users describing the scent as the signal that the day is over. Complaints concentrate on the fragrance, on combination skin finding it rich across the T zone, and on the premium price of a 30 ml bottle. The pattern is unusually predictable from the ingredient list, which is the mark of an honest product: it does what its formula says, for the skin its formula describes.
