Love this stuff. I first started using it before a big event back in my 20s when it was part of my mom's stash. I've been using it ever since. I use it at night after my serum. When I wake up, my skin is hydrated and soft. I think it's a bit firming as well.

Another great Clarins essential ...feels lovely and refreshing on the skin instantly making the skin feel rehydrated and rested!Its one of my beauty essentials when going out or feeling tired !A must have for your make up bag!

Whenever I feel like I need a pick me up I go to this wonder product! It's very light, fresh and brightens and tightens my face no end in an instance. I also sometimes use this as a face mask overnight and again my skin thanks me in the morning. Wouldn't be without it.

I use Beauty Flash Balm as a mask, I mix it with my moisturizer or use it alone before makeup application. This balm really does it all for me.

One of the original "it" products ever. Beauty Flash Balm has stood the test of time, and can be used in so many ways: Mask; booster; primer - you name it! Its smooth texture, tightening and lifting sensation and soothing smell take me back so many years...

Love this product. Using it for 30 years now. When your skin is tired, irritate or just not up to it's best this balm will brighten it. Couldn't be without it.

I love this product since my Mum introduced me to it a few years ago. Being a Clarins fan Mum has used it for quite a while and I'm so glad I do too now! It is my primer of choice - going on like a dream, leaving a smooth, radiant finish that creates a beautiful canvas for my makeup.
