' If you've got oily skin but still dream of a plump, radiant complexion, you need the Clarins Hydra-Essentiel Matte Gel in your life
- it's made for normal & combination skin that struggles with dehydration.'
- Kate, Escentual Beauty Team. Why You'll Love The Clarins Hydra-Essentiel Matte Gel: Hydrating day cream for normal to combination skin that's dehydrated. Delivers plumper skin in just 60 seconds. Provides a long-lasting moisturising & plumping action. Boosts the skin's natural hyaluronic acid reserves. Features a light blue gel texture with a matte finish. Suitable for all ages & ethnicities. What You Need To Know: Just like all of the skincare formulas in the Hydra-Essentiel collection, the Matte Gel works with your skin, not against it. Committed to plumping & hydrating your complexion, it encourages your skin to stay hydrated for longer as it features an exclusive & patented leaf of life extract, which boosts your skin's natural hyaluronic acid reserves. It also delivers long-term moisture & plumpness using low molecular hyaluronic acid, while high molecular hyaluronic acid creates an instant plumping action. But this Hydra-Essentiel moisturiser is made especially for skin that's prone to oiliness, so it also features alpine willowherb to reduce shine, resulting in a comfortable, glowy complexion that doesn't look greasy. Why It's Escentual: Believe it or not, oily-prone skin can still become dehydrated. All skin types can become dehydrated. If you're using skincare products that are too harsh & strip your skin of its natural moisture, your complexion will become dehydrated. The end result will be feelings of tightness & discomfort alongside a visible loss of radiance. But that's where the Hydra-Essentiel Matte Gel comes in. It floods your skin with much-needed moisture, all without making normal to combination skin look greasy. Instead, the cool blue gel leaves a shine-free finish that still looks healthy & glowy as your complexion is effectively hydrated. The Best Way To Use It: Use in the morning. To enhance the application process, warm the product up in your hands & apply it outwards, working from the centre of the face & neck. Then, apply pressure-draining movements from the centre to the sides of your face. The Sustainable Side: The Hydra-Essentiel Matte Gel is held within a cardboard cartoon that's sourced from sustainably-managed forests. The plastic tube can be recycled after use.
