I was skeptical about this scrub at first but after the first use, that all changed!
It feels so soft on the skin yet I could see a visible difference from the exfoliants even after just one use. I followed the directions and used it every three days in my week long trial period and I was impressed.
It smells absolutely amazing, feels like a gentle scrub should and left my skin glowing. I used it in my morning routine as a gentle cleanser substitute every second day. I found that not only did it exfoliate but it left my skin feeling hydrated which was a great starting point before even applying moisturizer.
I would 100% recommend this to anyone who needs a moderate exfoliator in their skin care routine as it checks all the boxes.
I will continue to use up my sample product and am very likely to buy it again and incorporate it permanently into my routine.

So refreshing! For years and years I have been searching for the best natural floride free toothpaste.. well that search is over! Hello has converted me... the packaging was right, my freshness mind has been blown!
Since receiving the product, I've used it multiple times a day and can say that it feels great, tastes great and does not leave me feeling like I just used toothpaste, it just leaves my mouth feeling.. well, clean!
I can say, I felt like it went rigth to work on any plaque build up and even after only a week of use, it did seem to have some effect on surface stains, although I will need more time using the product to truly know if its working.
I was worried at first about the tea tree oil, as I've only ever used it externally but I had no negative side effects and that's after using it exclusively now for the past week.
I really enjoy the sustainable packaging and the fact that I can read the ingredients list without having to google 95% of the list.
Oh and lastly... how can I even explain how good coconut oil is... I put that $#!* in everything.. why would my perfect toothpaste be any different!
100% recommend to anyone who is conscientious about their toothpaste!

First of all, full disclosure.. I am extremely picky when it comes to perfumes and fragrances. I don't wear them to work due to working on a scent free environment and I am sensitive to some fragrances myself.
One positive note was that I did not find this product harsh or irritating to my sensitivities, which is a big plus but I just was not a fan of the scent.
Even though, the scent isn't for me, I would definately recommend it to others who enjoy the scent, as the perfume itself seems great. Clean ingredients, nice packaging and overall just pleasant to look at.
And for those who were worried about the rest of my bottle, don't be! I gave it to one of my girlfriends who happened to notice the scent and she loves it! I will definately look for this brand in other scents (if available)!

So, first of all.. I love Clarins moisturizers and this one is no different. My only reason for stating I would not purchase this product again is because instead of the "Normal to dry skin" version, I would opt for the "All Skin Types".
Usually, I always test a new moisturizer line with the dry skin version, as I have dry skin.. especially in winter/spring months but with this line, I found it a little too thick for everyday day time moisturizing use.
Much like all clarins moisturizer, it feels like silk going on and provides very good hydration all day, even under light makeup (as I don't wear much). When I first got this product, I used it for a few days and then decided to go to my local retailer and see if they carried the other skin type versions so I could compare them as I was surprised that I would need a 'step down' but in this case, I was right! I was able to get a small test sample from my retailer of the "All skin types" and it was a no brainer, it was my perfect match! The only difference between the two is that the "All skins types" is less thick and works better as a daytime moisturizer for my skin type (which is dry but not sahara desert dry..). As for the "Normal to dry skin" version, it is now replaced as my nighttime moisturizer, as it provides great hydration which I don't mind right before bed.
Spoiler.... I went back and purchased the 1.7oz Hydra-Essential [HA2] for "All Skin Types" to add to my daytime regiment!

Unfortunately, I live in Newfoundland Canada.. where it feels like we haven't seen the sun since last year, so I was unable to test the effectiveness of the product as a sunscreen or whether it was water resistance. I also tried to take it outside with me to see the colour changing cap effects but I didn't see any change. This could be due to the fact that no harmful UV light was present or it was not exposed for long enough.
Notwithstanding that sad fact, the sunscreen went on very silky and did not have a harsh residue feeling (not greesy). There was absolutely no smell to it, which would be nice for me to wear for work as I work in a scent free environment.
I also had no reaction to the product and I do have sensitive skin, so that is always a bonus.
One of the downfalls for me is that the spout is a little too large which made the lotion come out too quickly. A little goes a long way with this, in my opinion, and I felt like a little squeeze was even too much and that would mean wastage over time.
Overall, I didn't feel like I was wearing sunscreen but more like a heavy moisturizer, so I would recommend if you are looking for a light weight sun screen that is in a lotion format.
I will revisit testing this product once we see the sun again as most importantly for me in a sunscreen is whether it protects my skin!
