Clarins Hydra-Essentiel [HA²] Light Cream – All Skin Types

“If you hate heavy moisturisers, but your skin is crying out for a hefty dose of hydration, the Clarins Hydra-Essentiel Light Cream is the one for you. It floods your skin with moisture whilst feeling as light as a feather.” – Kate, Escentual Beauty Team.

Why You’ll Love The Clarins Hydra-Essentiel Light Cream:

• Hydrating day cream for all dehydrated complexions.
• Delivers plumper skin in just 60 seconds.
• Provides a long-lasting moisturising and plumping action.
• Boosts the skin’s natural hyaluronic acid reserves.
• Features a light, fast-absorbing cream texture.
• Suitable for all ages and ethnicities.

What You Need To Know:

If you’re tired of your skin feeling tight and looking lacklustre, you’ll love the Hydra-Essentiel Light Cream. Made for anyone and everyone who struggles with skin dehydration, the moisturiser makes the goal of plump, hydrated and juicy skin feel attainable. It does so by creating an instant plumping effect using high molecular hyaluronic acid in the upper layers of skin, whilst low molecular hyaluronic acid sinks into deeper layers of skin for a long-lasting dose of plumping moisture. Clarins’ exclusive and patented organic leaf of life extract supports your skin’s natural hyaluronic acid reserves, so your complexion stays hydrated around the clock.

As this is the light version of the Silky Cream, it also helps reduce shine using manioc powder for a fresh, radiant and thoroughly quenched look.

Why It’s Escentual:

If you love the idea of the Hydra-Essentiel range, but you’re not sure which moisturiser to go for, we’d recommend choosing the silky version if you want a slightly richer, more luxurious texture (especially if you have dry skin), while you’ll want to opt for the Matte Gel if you struggle with light oiliness. But the Light Cream is the one for you if you purposefully want a lightweight, lotion-like texture that won’t over-mattify but also doesn’t feel too heavy.

Held in a calming blue jar to tie into the rest of the Hydra-Essentiel, the cream also releases the same delicate, fruity-floral scent as the rest of the line as a final touch of luxury.

The Best Way To Use It:

Use in the morning. To enhance the application process, warm the product up in your hands and apply it outwards, working from the centre of the face and neck. Then, apply pressure-draining movements from the centre to the sides of your face.

The Sustainable Side:

The Hydra-Essentiel Light Cream is held within a cardboard cartoon that’s sourced from sustainably-managed forests. The lid and jar should be separated to recycle after use.
