Clarins Hydra-Essentiel [HA²] Matte Gel – Normal to Combination Skin

“If you’ve got oily skin but still dream of a plump, radiant complexion, you need the Clarins Hydra-Essentiel Matte Gel in your life – it’s made for normal and combination skin that struggles with dehydration.” – Kate, Escentual Beauty Team.

Why You’ll Love The Clarins Hydra-Essentiel Matte Gel:

• Hydrating day cream for normal to combination skin that’s dehydrated.
• 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 blue gel texture with a matte finish.
• Suitable for all ages and ethnicities.

What You Need To Know:

Just like all of the skincare formulas in the Hydra-Essentiel collection, the Matte Gel works with your skin, not against it. Committed to plumping and hydrating your complexion, it encourages your skin to stay hydrated for longer as it features an exclusive and patented leaf of life extract, which boosts your skin’s natural hyaluronic acid reserves. It also delivers long-term moisture and plumpness using low molecular hyaluronic acid, while high molecular hyaluronic acid creates an instant plumping action.

But this Hydra-Essentiel moisturiser is made especially for skin that’s prone to oiliness, so it also features alpine willowherb to reduce shine, resulting in a comfortable, glowy complexion that doesn’t look greasy.

Why It’s Escentual:

Believe it or not, oily-prone skin can still become dehydrated. All skin types can become dehydrated. If you’re using skincare products that are too harsh and strip your skin of its natural moisture, your complexion will become dehydrated. The end result will be feelings of tightness and discomfort alongside a visible loss of radiance. But that’s where the Hydra-Essentiel Matte Gel comes in. It floods your skin with much-needed moisture, all without making normal to combination skin look greasy. Instead, the cool blue gel leaves a shine-free finish that still looks healthy and glowy as your complexion is effectively hydrated.

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:
