Clarins Booster oils?

11 replies

Has anyone used any of the Clarins booster oils? I'm in need of something for my skin, I have a pretty good routine but need something extra.

I have had some awful stress lately and as a result my skin has begun to break out I'm treating it kindly but feel I need an added extra.

Any thoughts on these boosters?

I use blue orchid every other night it is really nurturing and smells wonderful it is a great treat. Have had my bottle since the start of September and I think it will last another 6 weeks or ao

YY to Blue Orchid. I have very dry skin and use it twice a week.

I got it over a year ago so it is pretty cost-effective. I normally get it in duty free which obviously makes it even cheaper.

Cheaper still, look at the ingredients and buy the oils directly from a non-branded heavily advertised and packaged company.

I used to buy Decleor oils until an aromatherapist made me see just what a rip-off they are.

I now generally buy from a company called Naissance (Amazon and ebay) They are organic and a fraction of the cost of the prettily boxed Clarins/Decleor/Body Shop oils.

OP, do you mean the wee bottles you add to other things? I use the brightening one regularly and think it works really well. I usually pop a few drops in my serum at night. I had a sample of the detox one when they launched but didn't buy it. I'm on my second bottle of the energy/brightening one and would say it lasts about six months so worth the initial investment.

I use both the oil and the boosters, which is what I think you mean!

I like the boosters - have tried the orange one, now on the green one mixed into my daily moisturiser. I find the container leaks which is a shame because I really like the product.

I use the Blue Orchid oil at night and am addicted.

If you're breaking out I wouldn't go for an oil , unless it's one formulated for oily skin. What about a lovely toner for a pick me up, or a gorgeous cleanser to encourage you to double cleanse. Or a nice mask? The clarins moisture mask is great, and you could dab a clay mask on the spotty bits instead.

I got a sample of the Blue Orchid stuff - I like it enough that I think I might actually buy it. It is a bit like sitting in an oil slick at first, mind you.

Another vote for blue orchid oil here. Brilliant stuff for dry skin and helps me to sleep as well.

I was planning to start a thread extolling the virtues of the blue booster - amazing stuff! I've been using it for just under a week and it's already cleared up some old blemish scars.
