The opportunity arrive to purchase this sun care cream during a trip when I was in Bangkok, Thailand as my Neutrogena was about to be empty upon the end of my trip.
I can say it was indeed worth the try as currently I don’t think Neutrogena has been effective as it used to be. And, having tried their Double Serum and Anti Ageing creams from my mom’s, I was assured that this could be good if not excellent.
Since I was there and it was there, it was like it buy it now! And I did.

Clarins Sun Care Cream – Ingredients
I did not find any instructions that this can be used for the Face but nevertheless I still used this for my face and neck. I used a separate sun screen lotion for my body instead.
The only time I will fully use this on my body is when I go to a beach where more skin is exposed. No point using it for the body when it’s just going to the office where I am just stuck the whole day in my cubicle.
Made in France!
Clarins Sun Care Cream – swatch
Surprisingly I love the texture and how it blends on the face. It’s like a facial cream but is more of a sun care. The only difference this has with other sun screen is that this does not give a matte look but rather a re-hydrating youthful look.
I find you only need a little for the face and neck which is economical since I have been using this almost more than 5 months now.
The only draw back with this is that my current dual powder foundation does not blend rather well especially when it hasn’t sunk in and bending takes some time to do so by which also tends to break down by the late afternoon.
I only noticed that when I am using Western brands and not with Japanese brands though…

Is this worth it?
Yes as compared to Neutrogena in terms of its function. This sun cream blended quite well on my skin which surprisingly leaves it hydrated.
Although this one does not leave a white mask on the face when properly used or does it make my face dried out after a few hours especially in air controlled temperature rooms, make up should be sparingly used on the face (this is depend on your brand).
Will I buy again?
Can’t say. I have bought La Roche-Posey as a back up when I was there in Bangkok but for the price and usage (face and neck) for about more than 5 months now I would say maybe.
