One of the key personalities in the beauty industry is Christian Courtin-Clarence (son of the founder), a true gourmet and aesthete. He loves French cuisine, and instead of going to the fitness club, he prefers to go to a relaxing massage based on, of course, 100% natural oils of his own brand!

As well as in fashion, it is men who set the tone in cosmetology. Is it correct? Absolutely yes! Who, if not the stronger sex, can know about the desires of ladies?

The company was born thanks to the love and respect of Jacques Courtin-Clarence for women. In 1954, he opened the first Beauty Institute in Paris and success was not long in coming. The brand's products become No. 1 in Europe. The result is based on the desire to create the best cosmetics for the beautiful half of humanity and give them quality care,upholding the core values of respect, professionalism and listening.
From the moment of its foundation and to this day, "Clarence" prefers herbal ingredients, combining their action with the principles of phyto- and aromatherapy. The first care products were body and face oils based on 100% natural extracts. They were used for procedures at the Beauty Institute and are still the brand's iconic products.
"Clarence" is inspired by the world of plants, and in this he is helped:

How would you rate the condition of your skin today? Perhaps she was tired due to lack of sleep, diet, stress, or, on the contrary, the excesses that were allowed the day before? It is in such cases that Clarins facial concentrates will help you. Reviews say - this is a real ambulance for the dermis. They contain a high ratio of plant extracts and just a couple of drops mixed with your favorite cream will instantly energize the skin, restore it and remove toxic substances.
Each of the three miniature bottleslooks like a battery, inside of which there is a unique tool that provides a momentary solution to individual skin problems.
The brightest orange concentrate has been created to replenish energy. The product is based on ginseng extract - a medicinal plant that has been used for centuries in Chinese medicine, has stimulating properties. The composition also contains polysaccharides that give the dermis smoothness and a tetrapeptide that restores radiance and stimulates cell renewal.
The following green concentrate is needed for detox, that is, for skin that lacks oxygen. Here, the main component is coffee extract, known for its draining properties. The optimal level of hydration will provide the presence of hyaluronic acid.
There are a lot of reviews about the latest Clarins concentrate and they are all positive. According to buyers, the product is especially relevant in the winter and after aggressive cosmetic procedures. Restoration of damaged facial skin occurs due to the presence of mimosa tenuiflora. The extract, which has healing properties, was traditionally used by the Mayans as a wound healing agent. In addition, the formula is supplemented with panthenol and allantoin, which eliminates the feeling of discomfort.
The cost of drugs on the official page of the online store is 2300 rubles.

Creating the perfect makeup
Clarins Ever Matte SPF 15 Matting Foundation claims to restore balance and prevent shine. The unique plant-based Skin Detox complex is responsible for regulating the production of sebum. Is it really so?
Customers stressed that the foundation without any tricks with powders and special napkins copes with the task. But as it turned out, this is both a plus and a minus of the product. Ever Matte SPF15 due to the matting properties emphasized all peeling and minor skin defects. But that's on close inspection. In general, the face looks pretty decent even after a few hours.
For those who want to enhance the effect of the previous decorative product, we recommend that you pay attention to Clarins Skin Illusion Mineral Powder. Most recently, the brand's flagship product has received a new look and improved formula.
Now the brush does not go deep into the lid, but takes up much less space, as it fits into the recess in the center. The grinding has become finer, the texture literally melts on the skin, forming a velvety veil on its surface, similar in tactile sensations to a light tonal foundation.

New "Clarence"
With the advent of summer, almost every girl dreams of getting an even and beautiful skin tone. But it is impossible to achieve such a result in one day, and then special means come to the rescue - self-tanning. Clarins Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster can be used on the body and face. Experts and customers recommend applying a rather concentrated emulsion in moderation. To begin with, you can distribute a few drops and look at the result.
The popularity of self-tanning from "Clarence" is due to the composition, which is rich in trace elements and useful substances. Despite the fact that the concentrate is available in two forms, there is no significant difference in the formula. But customers note that the jelly-like mousse for the body works more intensively than for the face.
Practice has shown that the product is in excellent contact with other care products. If we are talking about the face, then you can mix self-tanning with a nourishing cream. To maintain the desired shade for a long time, it is enough to repeat the procedure 1-2 times a week.
Careers at Clarins: employee reviews
As practice shows, behind the external gloss of companies, sometimes expectations are not justifiedworkers. Of course, every company has its drawbacks. If you can close your eyes to some, then others turn out to be so significant that as a result you have to look for new bosses. As for the Clarence brand, the number of positive reviews is much greater than the negative ones.
Employees note the following advantages of the company:
- rapid development;
- employee commitment is highly valued, including financially;
- career growth possible;
- regular incentives for employees (corporate events, bonuses, thanks);
- sane and benevolent top managers (in many companies these are inaccessible glamorous personalities who look down on everyone);
- excellent coaching staff explaining the intricacies of work;
- nice team.
On the thematic forums there were some negative comments. Basically, they are related to the attitude of some regional managers to ordinary consultants. As people say: "The fish rots from the head" - but this phrase is unlikely to apply to Clarins. Feedback from offended employees suggests that management only knows what they are presented with.
Despite the small number of bad comments, it is proven that with "Clarence" life becomes more beautiful! Miracles happen. This requires knowledge, perseverance, a thirst for constant development - all that Clarins specialists possess.
