Everything you need to know about Clarins Super Restorative Day & Night Creams

Introducing the Clarins Super Restorative Day & Night Creams - specifically formulated for skin suffering with the stresses of hormonal change due to menopause. A game-changing duo that helps to revitalise, renew and replenish the skin. But what makes it so great and why should it be on your radar? This is everything you need to know…

What makes the Super Restorative Day & Night Creams different?

There are many face creams floating around the beauty industry, but none quite like the Super Restorative Day & Night Creams. Why? Formulated to support all women whose skin is experiencing the effects of hormonal changes linked to menopause, it helps to tackle dryness, skin slackening, wrinkles and uneven skin tone.

Why are they so good for hormonal skin?

During menopause, the production of the hormone estrogen is largely affected and in turn, this slows down the production process within cells, such as fibroblasts. Why is this a bad thing? Fibroblasts are responsible for producing collagen, elastin and dermal matrix (the skin’s natural mattress filling). Over time, they lose over 99% of their tone, meaning they’re unable to maintain the tension needed between the collagen and elastin fibers. As a result, the toned, firmed appearance your skin had before is decreased and effects like wrinkles and fine lines begin to show.

After years of research, Clarins has discovered the golden ticket of skincare - organic harungana. With the same intensive replenishment and anti-ageing benefits as retinol, organic harungana helps to tone and smooth the complexion, whilst being tolerated by all skin types. Combined with organic gorse extract, which helps to improve the tone of fibroblasts by up to 89%, the creams help to revitalise the skin, promoting a healthy-looking, youthful glow.

Okay, we’re sold but let’s hear more about this star ingredient…

Imagine a plant-based version of a retinol like ingredient – that’s organic harungana extract. By stimulating collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid production, it helps to revitalise and replenish the skin, leaving it firmer and more radiant. Just as effective as retinol, it’s a true botanical treasure.

So, how do I incorporate the creams into my skincare routine?

Easy, once you've cleansed your skin, apply your favourite serum and allow the product to sink in for a moment. After this, warm a 5p size amount of either the Day or Night Cream in the palms of your hands and massage gently over the face. Don’t forget to bring the product down the neck and onto the décolleté for maximum results.

What is the benefit of using both of the Super Restorative Day & Night Creams in my routine?

As soon as we walk out of the door to face the day, our skin needs to be protected from nasty external aggressors like pollution and dirt. Enriched with Clarins’ anti-pollution complex, both creams help to protect the skin from indoor and outdoor pollution as well as the damaging effects of blue light.

We all want to wake up with glowing, radiant skin that looks like we’ve had a full eight hours of sleep, and luckily (thanks to Clarins) we can. Infused with organic service tree bud extract, the cream helps to revive the skin, so you wake up looking radiant.
