¡Ombligo!

I have a tendency to open up new products before using up the previous product. Such is the case of Clarins Extra Firming Body Care "Rich Replenishing Cream" which I just finished up yesterday.

I won this from Allure freebies in October 2003. That's right, a whole two years ago when this product first hit the market.

Clarins Extra Firming Body Care "Rich Replenishing Cream" is described on the site as: Give your body skin more than just moisture. This rich, nourishing cream helps firm and revitalize skin as it replenishes with soothing moisture. Day after day, skin becomes more supple, softer and silky-smooth. Lines and slackened areas are visibly reduced for a more defined silhouette.

Features and Benefits

• Helps promote firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
• Replenishes dry skin with soothing moisture for ultimate softness and comfort.
• Slackened areas become visibly firmer for a more defined silhouette.

Ingredients

• Amazonian Bocoa: Tones and revitalizes
• Water Lily and Peach extracts: Nourish and fortify
• Shea Butter: Intensely moisturizes

Apply morning and/or evening using light, sweeping movements. The rich yet non-oily texture absorbs instantly into the skin, so there is no need to wait before dressing.

Tips

Begin at the ankles and work up to the chest and then from the wrists up to the shoulders.

Clarins Extra Firming Body Care "Rich Replenishing Cream" didn't firm anything up but it did leave my skin incredibly soft and left a subtle floral scent which seemed strongish at first but dried down enough not to clash with my fragrance of choice. While it left my skin incredibly soft, I wouldn't repurchase this item.

Clarins Extra Firming Body Care "Rich Replenishing Cream" retails for $62/6.9 oz. jar (the original price was $58) and is available through Gloss and Sephora.
