First impressions:
I applied the Clarins Bright Plus Intensive Brightening Smoothing Serum first and let it settle on my skin for a minute. I then applied the day lotion. The pump provides excellent control over the amount of product I dispensed. The day lotion felt very refreshing on my skin and it absorbed quickly without leaving any residue on my skin. My skin felt instantly moisturised, revived and refreshed with a dewy finish. I really liked the dewy look because it did not turn into a greasy mess as the day progressed. This day lotion really eased the winter dryness my skin had been experiencing of late. It felt very light-weight on my skin and it is more fluid than the other day lotions I have used. My skin did not feel clogged or overwhelmed by the product. The SPF20 is a major plus because it does not leave a white cast on my face. I did not experience any breakouts or skin irritation.
