Clarins NEW Super Restorative Day & Night Creams
Nobody’s whispering the ‘m’ word any more: they’re shouting it from the rooftops, as per Clarins with this reworking of what has always been their top-selling age-defying line, Super Restorative. As they put it, they want to approach the topic of menopause ‘openly and honestly, to encourage a more positive experience.’
No question, menopause wreaks havoc on skin. It can lose its bounce-back factor, that springiness and plumpness, and at the same time, develops deeper lines and wrinkles. (Oh, joy!) For many women, Clarins Super Restorative has been a go-to, to tackle these challenges – so what’s new about this bestselling duo (and should fans be worried?) Not a bit of it. Now 93% natural, the textures remain rich and instantly soothing and nurturing. They include a new organic gorse extract to tackle slackening, along with the signature Super Restorative ingredient, harungana extract, a natural alternative to retinol that can be tolerated by all skintypes, even the touchiest.
There are two versions of each cream – one for Very Dry Skin, which is so often triggered by the ageing process.
Super Restorative Night also features an extract of service tree bud, for radiance-boosting, while the Super Restorative Day boasts a vegetal squalane, to restore the skin’s hydrolipidic film, thus helping its barrier function. (In turn, that means it helps to maintain your skin’s natural moisture levels.) To shield against blue light from our devices, there’s also the Clarins Anti-Pollution Complex. (They were talking about pollution l-o-n-g before anyone else – and we know that because we’ve been doing this a l-o-n-g time ourselves.)
We suspect nobody’s going to be shouting ‘Hoorah, I’ve hit the menopause!’ But we do like the fact that skincare brands are doing their bit to break down the taboos. Every little helps the conversation.
