Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

I am brand new to this product, even though I heard of it years ago. It will be a part of my daily skincare regime forever. I apply a thin layer with a brush (do NOT rub in) after my morning cleanse, tone and moisturise routine to complete my no make up look. My skin is literally polished. It looks radiant. It is kind to my skin and I have rosacea which can be irritated quite easily by products, but not with this. I will never ever be without this product again. EVER.

I'm not sure what this is supposed to do if I'm honest or how to use it as in as a moisturiser or primer but either way it is amazing! I followed the instructions of not rubbing it in and put my makeup on top straight after I apply it and it goes on so smoothly. My face feels smooth, no shine and sorts out my dry face. It makes my makeup last all day and just makes my skin look more enegised which is perfect considering I am up early everyday for work. It just makes my skin look and feel healthy

I received a travel size of this for Christmas and was great. It really smoothed everything ready for my makeup application, I happily accepted it into my skincare routine. Unfortunately due to it being a travel size, it lasted just under 2 weeks but it is definitely on my list for repurchasing in the future as I felt it made a huge difference to how my makeup sat on my skin. It's a tad pricey for what it is though which is why I will wait.

This is a perfect primer for me. I'm in my 40s and my skin needs the tightening and brightening benefits of this product. Also, unlike most primers, this doesn't sink into lines or exaggerate pores and texture. A few tiny dots of this smooths my skin out pre makeup without leaving a noticeable layer of product on top of my skin. I blend foundation and/or concealer over it quickly before it sets. It also makes my foundation stay put all day - even if I only use a tiny bit of powder or setting spray over it. I'm not sure this would do much for people with younger skin but it helps me achieve a healthy, polished looking natural glow while using very little makeup.

I don't get what this is supposed to do! Yes it moisturises but it doesn't leave a glow, or anything you'd expect. I don't like this product

I was so keen to love this product, being someone who doesn't wear foundation I wanted to product to 'brighten' my appearance. I just don't get the hype.

This is a really good moisturiser, I use it most the time, it's really good and gives your face a radiant glow and a soft texture too

This is a beauty must! I have used for years now! Perfect for no make up days but also perfect base for make up

This stuff is like a magic face in a bottle for the morning after. Its fabulous. I would not be without it to wipe away the night you may want to forget. It goes on really well before makeup too. Top tip: make sure you don't rub in too much and put foundation on straight away

Been using this product for about 10 years - its my saviour when I need to give my skin a bit of extra oomph. I put it on under makeup before a night out or first thing in the morning the next day so my skin can recover, it always brightens my skin tone and makes me look refreshed, even when I'm not!
