The Clarins Daily Energizer range, for young women who have enviously eye their sibling’s or their mother’s Clarins products, is a breakthrough range that answers all their skin care needs. It specifically addresses the traditional concerns of young skin: shine, unevenness, small spots and signs of fatigue.
I have to admit, this was a spur-of-the-moment purchase. I saw this on Ponikuta, and after reading about her raving about this, I rushed out to get this the very next day.
Description:
Your first morning beauty step to boost skin radiance. A refreshing cocktail of redcurrant, green coffee and white tea, Wake-Up Booster rehydrates and revitalizes, leaving skin looking bright and fresh.
I felt a little embarrassed purchasing this, because the Daily Energizer range was meant for young ladies in their teens to early twenties. I was a little red in the face when I sheepishly asked if this was okay for women in their late twenties (yes yes I know, I should have said thirties, but let’s not be specific). Surprise surprise, the sales assistant happily gushed “of course! No problem at all!”, in hopes for a sale. And I eagerly handed her my credit card 😛
Couldn’t see it “boosting” anything, but I do like using it during the day and night, after cleansing my face. I’ve read mixed reviews about this, especially on the scent, but for me, it was the scent that attracted me the most. It has the most delicious fruity smell, which I just adore. It’s refreshing and feels cool when applied on the skin (it contains alcohol), which is why I think they call it a “wake-up booster”. I’m normally against toners with alcohol, but dang if I’m not seduced wholly by the scent. Still, it doesn’t dry the skin out so I’m good with it.
Would I repurchase this? I think so, given that I’m in love with the scent. But we’ll see, shall we?
Next product to try out in the Daily Energizer range would be the Cream-Gel. Oh who cares if it’s for younger skin? My skin’s still *quite* supple and oily, which is what younger skin is about, right? I’m going to march up to the counter and tell the lady “see here, I’m 30, and I want the Daily Energizer range so don’t you give me any lip about me being too old for it!”
Or something like that 😉
Clarins Daily Energizer Wake-Up Booster retails at AU$30 for 125ml and is available at MYER, David Jones and selected pharmacies.
What I like about it: The delicious fruity smell won me ten times over.
What I do not like about it: It’s meant for younger skin, but if it works for me, who cares, right? Right? (Update: Forgot to add this to the review, but a boo point would be that it contains alcohol.)
They say you are as old as you feel. Don’t let that prevent you from buying stuff for younger skin.
I was actually going to say, “you are as old as your skin looks” but realised that would make my skin’s age 30 years old.
Glad you loved it. It’s definitely very refreshing and great for this incoming Summer. Not to mention the price is surprisingly cheap too! Oh and I’m a sucker for all things orange. Just sayin’.
Putting beauty products into age groups is a marketing tool!
Use what you think is best for you. Myself, I use products from everywhere depending on my skins needs.
I know the model — she is my friend!!
Her name’s Rosie Tupper. By the way don’t worry it’s just a marketing tool, although I don’t use Clarins because my model friend told me anything alcohol is a no no and makes you age faster and it would be to late before you notice.
I work for Clarins and the “wake up booster” isnt actually a Toner… It is a lotion that removes signs of tiredness and fatigue and boosts the skins energy and radiance for a bright even radiant complexion. The cleansing gel contains the toner withi the wash itself so it is quick and easy for young adults…. Although there is nothing to say that someone older than 30 cannot use the booster or Cleansing Gel if you have no other ski concerns. 🙂
