Just Google \u201cFrench girl makeup\u201d and you\u2019ll find blog posts devoted to a natural, no makeup makeup look that\u2019s pared down to a little bit of concealer and mascara, and a rosy lip. The French look is effortless and its cornerstone is healthy, glowing skin. While French pharmacies are legendary for their well-priced products to help achieve flawless skin, arguably the best known French skincare company is Clarins, which launched in 1954 and is still owned by the same family.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Is Clarins Skincare Worth The Money?<\/h2>\n<p><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;A common question about this brand is if the products are worth the cost. _ products are expensive, for example, the _ is _. \\n\\nIn our opinion, _ products aren\u2019t worth the money, simply because there are other skincare brands that offer similar products that are less expensive. \\n\\nOne brand is Carrot &amp; Stick, a clean skincare brand that perfectly balances the gentle nurturing of plants with the powerful results of innovative science.\\n\\nCarrot &amp; Stick intro bundles deliver great value for money because you can bundle 3 full size products worth up to $240 for $88. \\n&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:1049345,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;11&quot;:4,&quot;12&quot;:0,&quot;23&quot;:1}\" data-sheets-textstyleruns=\"{&quot;1&quot;:0}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:293,&quot;2&quot;:{&quot;2&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:1136076},&quot;9&quot;:1}}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:308}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:552,&quot;2&quot;:{&quot;7&quot;:1}}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:556}\" data-sheets-hyperlinkruns=\"{&quot;1&quot;:293,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/carrotstick.com\/collections\/best-sellers\/&quot;}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:308}\">Clarins products are expensive, for example, the Super Restorative Day SPF 20 is $132.\u00a0<\/span><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;A common question about this brand is if the products are worth the cost. _ products are expensive, for example, the _ is _. \\n\\nIn our opinion, _ products aren\u2019t worth the money, simply because there are other skincare brands that offer similar products that are less expensive. \\n\\nOne brand is Carrot &amp; Stick, a clean skincare brand that perfectly balances the gentle nurturing of plants with the powerful results of innovative science.\\n\\nCarrot &amp; Stick intro bundles deliver great value for money because you can bundle 3 full size products worth up to $240 for $88. \\n&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:1049345,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;11&quot;:4,&quot;12&quot;:0,&quot;23&quot;:1}\" data-sheets-textstyleruns=\"{&quot;1&quot;:0}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:293,&quot;2&quot;:{&quot;2&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:1136076},&quot;9&quot;:1}}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:308}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:552,&quot;2&quot;:{&quot;7&quot;:1}}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:556}\" data-sheets-hyperlinkruns=\"{&quot;1&quot;:293,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/carrotstick.com\/collections\/best-sellers\/&quot;}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:308}\">In our opinion, Clarins products aren\u2019t worth the money, simply because there are other skincare brands that offer similar products that are less expensive.\u00a0<\/span><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;A common question about this brand is if the products are worth the cost. _ products are expensive, for example, the _ is _. \\n\\nIn our opinion, _ products aren\u2019t worth the money, simply because there are other skincare brands that offer similar products that are less expensive. \\n\\nOne brand is Carrot &amp; Stick, a clean skincare brand that perfectly balances the gentle nurturing of plants with the powerful results of innovative science.\\n\\nCarrot &amp; Stick intro bundles deliver great value for money because you can bundle 3 full size products worth up to $240 for $88. \\n&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:1049345,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;11&quot;:4,&quot;12&quot;:0,&quot;23&quot;:1}\" data-sheets-textstyleruns=\"{&quot;1&quot;:0}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:293,&quot;2&quot;:{&quot;2&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:1136076},&quot;9&quot;:1}}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:308}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:552,&quot;2&quot;:{&quot;7&quot;:1}}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:556}\" data-sheets-hyperlinkruns=\"{&quot;1&quot;:293,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/carrotstick.com\/collections\/best-sellers\/&quot;}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:308}\">One brand is\u00a0<a class=\"in-cell-link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/carrotstick.com\/collections\/best-sellers\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Carrot &amp; Stick,<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0a clean skincare brand that perfectly balances the gentle nurturing of plants with the powerful results of innovative science.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">What Is Clarins?<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clarins was created by the French chiropractor Jacques Courtin. In 1954 he set up a spa in Paris and focused on massages that helped to firm the skin and boost circulation. He used essential oils in his massages and later started selling products made from plants and minerals. One of his earliest products was the &#8220;Body Shaping Cream&#8221;, which was designed to tackle cellulite. Courtin named his company \u201cClarins\u201d after a character in a school play, and by the 1970s he formally added Clarins to his own last name.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By 1980 Clarins was the top-selling brand in France, and expanded to the US shortly afterwards. In 1991 Clarins debuted its first makeup collection. In subsequent years Clarins added a men\u2019s line as well sun protection, a maternity collection as well as the new, clean beauty My Clarins line, which debuted in early 2019. Today the company is still privately owned by the Courtin-Clarins family, and Forbes estimates the family is worth $2 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">What Is the Concept Behind Clarins?<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Clarins philosophy is based around the power of plants, and also taps into the emotional aspect of beauty. As Courtin told a newspaper in 1966, \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beauty has become an important element in a woman&#8217;s psychological make-up.&#8221;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Clarins has embraced transparency with ingredients long before it was trendy to do so. In <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1968 Clarins added ingredients insert into its packaging.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">What Does Clarins Sell?<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-116737\" src=\"https:\/\/thedermreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/80.2-clarins-review-1-1024x393.jpg\" alt=\"Clarin store\" width=\"525\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedermreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/80.2-clarins-review-1-1024x393.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thedermreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/80.2-clarins-review-1-300x115.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thedermreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/80.2-clarins-review-1-768x294.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thedermreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/80.2-clarins-review-1.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clarins sells skincare and makeup products.

Oils are also found in many Clarins products, including hazelnut, sweet almond, macadamia, and grape seed. Other ingredients are more common, such as hyaluronic acid, which holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water; glycerin, a humectant, and dimethicone, a silicone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Overall, Clarins lacks tried-and-true active ingredients like vitamin C and\u00a0retinol.
