Skin Care Review: Clarins HydraQuench Cream

Rating
Good

Benefits
Feels great going on, and provides just the right amount of moisturizer.

Drawbacks
The price is the only drawback of this fine product, as far as I can tell.

Details
The Clarins HydraQuench cream for normal to dry skin is absolutely wonderful. It is light, and despite having fragrance listed as an ingredient, has no odor that I detected. Even though it feels so light going on, it also feels perfect, as if my skin was dry from swimming, it would instantly feel "whole" again with the application. I used it once/day. I could have used it twice/day, but my usual ritual was to only apply moisturizer after either a shower or a swim and then shower. I didn't feel that I had to apply it more often either, which means that this cream must have some "staying power" with respect to the moisturizing ingredients it uses. I found I didn't need any anti-aging facial product when using Clarins. My only desire would be for Clarins to manufacture this in the United States as well, to enable it to be sold for a more reaasonable price. The 1.7 oz jar lasted for 8 months, used once/day, which I think is reasonable.

Conclusions
I would not hesitate from recommending this product for women over 50.
