There is no shortage of topical skin care regimens and treatments nowadays. In fact, there are more products than most women and men care to sort through. One well-known line of beauty treatments is Clarins. This is why we are focusing on Clarins Bright Plus HP Intensive Brightening Smoothing Serum, which is an anti-aging product offered in this line. It sells in some department stores, as well as online for $69 (1.06 ounces). This formula contains natural ingredients like Sea Lily.

Product Details

Clarins Bright Plus HP Intensive Brightening Smoothing Serum is one of many anti-aging treatments offered in the Clarins line. It is claimed to deliver the user a youthfully radiant complexion. More specifically, this product aims to firm the user’s skin, minimize age spots/dark patches, and reduce fine lines. It is supposed to aid with existing skin damage, and prevent new damage from occurring. The three major active ingredients mentioned for this topical formula are Alchemilla (contains antioxidants to smooth and tone skin), Meadowsweet Extract (helps purify the skin and minimize the appearance of small dark spots), and Sea Lily (reduces dark spots on the user’s complexion). Clarins Bright Plus HP Intensive Brightening Smoothing Serum is directed to be used daily as part of a skin care regimen. It is applied to the face and neck with light pressing motions.

All ingredients used in this formula are as follows: Aqua/Water/Eau, Isononyl Isononanoate, Cyclomethicone,Butylene Glycol, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Glycerin, C14-22 Alcohols, Dimethicone, Tromethamine- Glyceryl Stearate, Peg-100 Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, C12-20 Alkyl Glucoside, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernal Extract, Sodium Citrate, Ethylhexyl Glycerin, Parfum/Fragrance, Polyacrylamide Tetrasodium EDTA, Xanthan Gum, Carum Petroselinum (Parsley) Extract, Biotin, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Phenoxyethanol, Laureth-, Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Fruit Extract, Citric Acid, Xylitol, Alchemilla Vulgaris Extract, Pancratium Maritimum Extract, Benzyl Salicylate, Geraniol, Citronellol, Benzyl Benzoste, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Hydroxyisohexyl 3 Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde, Limonene, Hexyl Cinnamal, and Linalool.

The Good

  • This anti-aging treatment contains all-natural ingredients like Sea Lily and Meadowsweet Extract.
  • It can be purchased in some department stores.

The Bad

  • Some women have claimed that this product does nothing.
  • Certain ingredients used in this formula may irritate the skin of some users.
  • This product contains fragrances, which some women with sensitive skin will not like.
  • There are no clinical trials mentioned for Clarins Bright Plus HP Intensive Brightening Smoothing Serum.

The Bottom Line

All in all, Clarins Bright Plus HP Intensive Brightening Smoothing Serum does not come across in the most positive light. After all, some consumers have complained about it doing nothing for their complexions. Also, this topical formula contains fragrances, which may irritate the skin of some users. It is certainly a good idea to see what else is available before settling on a product like Clarins Bright Plus HP Intensive Brightening Smoothing Serum.
