Some beauty products are so good, that there is almost a “before” and “after” chapters in your life. And Clarins Gentle Exfoliator Brightening Toner is such product!
Caroline Hirons always raves about gentle exfoliators (in terms of availability and price – Clarins is the easiest one to get) and how much they change your beauty regimen and Gentle Exfoliator Brightening Toner is among the products (from this category) that she rates.
So what is so special about it?
It is basically a toner that gently exfoliates the skin that you are supposed to use twice a week, as recommended by the brand. But I personally use it more often and don’t experience any problems. In fact, it’s the opposite.
The main reason why I’ve started using the product was because I had some marks left after the spots which I had ages ago, and they would not fade…
But two+ months with this toner and I can see huge changes, the marks are so much lighter and the skin is smoother. I am extremely happy with the results and I hope that the scars will be gone completely, as I use the toner in combination with the appropriate serum to treat this problem. Not only I use it on my face but also on the body where I have some dark spots, as well. And, yes, the scars are almost not noticeable anymore, what a progress!
Besides the brightening effect on the dark spots I can see a general improvement of my skin condition, it is smoother and more radiant, which is pretty amazing.
I think this is one of the best skincare products I have ever used and I have no idea how did I live without “gentle exfoliator” product in my life. From now on I refuse to be without it.
The price is £25 from Escentual. Nordstorm, Sephora, Bergdorf Goodman, Selfridges, Harrods
As for a regular toner, I am still in love with the Clarins Extra-Comfort Toning Lotion for Dry and Sensitive Skin.
