Face Moisturizers and Creams

Washing your face, eating well, and exercising are all great ways to achieve glowing, youthful-looking skin—but nothing can take the place of your moisturizer. By including the best face moisturizers in your routine, you're not just hydrating your skin; you're also protecting it from the harmful effects of stress and pollution. Clarins’ face moisturizers all contain an Anti-Pollution Complex that shields skin from harsh environmental influences that can lead to premature signs of aging—an essential step in any good skin care routine.

The saying goes that laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face—but you want to keep the joy without having those laugh lines etched permanently on your face. Clarins’ face moisturizers do more than prevent and treat dry skin. They’re the hardest working product in your beauty routine. Your face moisturizer protects sensitive skin, improves skin tone and texture, and masks those little imperfections. While you’re getting on with your busy day, your face moisturizer is working hard—holding water in the outer layer of skin, nourishing against the harmful effects of stress, and acting as a barrier to environmental pollutants that can cause your skin to age prematurely. Good reason to never leave home without Clarins’ face moisturizer protection!

Face moisturizers are not just for dry skin. If you have normal or oily skin, you may be under the impression that a face moisturizer isn't a necessary part of your skincare routine. Not so. Without enough moisture, oil glands work overtime to keep skin from drying out, which can lead to blemishes and clogged pores. Clarins hydrating facial moisturizers offer solutions for every skin type: dry skin, moisturizers for oily skin and even moisturizers for combination skin.

Your skin has its own internal clock. During the day it needs a moisturizer that protects against external aggressors like pollutants, free radicals, and the effects of stress. Before bed, skin needs a night moisturizer specifically formulated to work while you sleep, when skin goes into repair mode. Being in touch with your body is the key to healthy living, so listen to your skin and give it the moisture fix it needs, whenever it needs it. If you’re in a cold or dry climate and find that your skin is feeling tight, use your moisturizers more frequently. TIP: Give your day moisturizer at least 10 minutes to be absorbed before applying sunscreen.

As the seasons change, so does your skin. A good rule of thumb is to match your face moisturizer to your wardrobe. In warmer months, a lightweight hydrating moisturizer will generally do the trick. The dry, blustery days of fall and winter can be more trying on the skin, so you may want to switch to a skin moisturizer that's a little bit more hydrating. However, it is possible to over-moisturize, so remember to tune into your skin’s needs to avoid clogging your pores.

When it comes to choosing a Day or Night Cream for skin 30+, look for anti-aging formulas that tackle key skin concerns that are starting to make their mark: early lines + wrinkles, dullness, loss of firmness, enlarged pores, dehydration, an uneven skin tone, and signs of fatigue.

Designed to help fight the first visible signs of aging, Clarins' Multi-Active Day + Night Creams are powered by our exclusive NEW Skin Charger Complex—a duo of potent ingredients, including age-defying 2% Niacinamide + our exclusive NEW Organic Sea Holly bio-extract*—to target lines, wrinkles, and signs of fatigue while promoting a healthy-looking glow and even skin tone.

Pollution, a hectic lifestyle, and lack of sleep are all stressors that can contribute to Stress Aging¹— an occurrence that can result in dullness, dryness, early lines + wrinkles, loss of firmness, dilated pores, an uneven skin tone, and sleepy-looking skin.

Multi-Active formulas tackle the first visible signs of skin aging + plus the damaging effects of daily stress brought on by too-little sleep, fatigue, and a hectic lifestyle, resulting Stress Aging¹ — a phenomenon which accelerates the aging process resulting in fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, dehydration, dullness, uneven skin tone, loss of firmness, and a tired-looking complexion. These multi-tasking formulas provide 24H hydration, and help strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier for smooth, refined skin and a healthy-looking glow.
