This cream is like magic. It’s superb. I can’t recommend it enough to get rid of wrinkles and enlarged pores, albeit temporarily.
I’ve used a few wrinkle fillers in the past and they never really seemed to do much which probably explains why I have a bunch of empty creams in my cupboard. Then a couple of months ago a got a tiny sample pot of Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch from Sephora and I finally realised what the fuss is about. You only need a small amount and I applied a little to the fine lines around my eyes and on my frown line. I don’t have deep wrinkles but they are still noticeable, at least until I used this filler. After a minute or so all my lines disappear and my skin is left incredibly smooth. I then apply a little pressed powder (I rarely use foundation) and the rest of my makeup and I’m good to go.
Of course this isn’t a permanent solution to getting rid of wrinkles. Creams and fillers like Clarins Instant Smooth are just temporary solutions to get you looking good when you head out for the day. It’s really just a makeup trick rather than an anti-wrinkle cream. That’s not to say it isn’t worth getting, it totally is! Don’t buy this thinking it will get rid of your wrinkles forever but honestly, there are no creams which get rid of wrinkles for good. This cream is purely for covering up imperfections.
Who is this for?
Clarins Instant Smooth is for anyone with fine lines or enlarged pores looking to hide their imperfections. The filler is targeted at the over 40 crowd but I’m in my 30s and use it every day and if this had been around when I was in my 20s you can bet I would have used it then too.
Is it affordable?
Clarins products are often on the expensive side but a regular pot of Instant Smooth retails for just over $30. My little sample pot lasted for ages so I can only imagine this larger pot would last for months, at least 6 months I would think. I’ve just ordered the full sized pot so I will be able to give a more definitive answer in the future. Around $30 for this cream is a bargain if you ask me as it gives real results your can see immediately.
Where to buy?
You can buy Clarins Instant Smooth from Amazon.com and I find they usually have the best price. It’s currently selling at Amazon for $32.50 for a 0.50 ounce tub and as I said, that should last a long time making it a great value purchase.
