Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch - 15ml

It is a primer designed to instantly smooth the skin's surface, minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and create a flawless complexion.

Apply a small amount by dabbing gently with your fingertips or a foundation brush onto the areas you wish to smooth or where wrinkles and fine lines are present.

Yes, it can be used alone to achieve a naturally perfected and smoother complexion without the need for foundation.

Absolutely. It works excellently as a primer, creating an ideal canvas for foundation application and helping it to blend more smoothly and last longer.

It is described as a 'perfect marriage of makeup and skin care,' implying it has elements of both, but its primary function is to provide an immediate cosmetic smoothing and perfecting effect on the skin.

Yes, it is formulated to be suitable for most skin types, focusing on individuals concerned with skin texture, wrinkles, and fine lines. For very oily skin, observe how your skin reacts.

It uses an 'invisible texture' to create an 'imperceptible veil' over the skin's surface, which optically blurs and fills in fine lines and wrinkles, making them less noticeable.

Ensure you are dabbing the product gently onto the concerned areas, rather than rubbing. A slightly thicker, yet still thin, layer may be applied to very prominent lines for increased blurring. Ensure skin is clean and dry before application.

You might be using too much product. A very small amount is usually sufficient. Apply a thin layer and blend gently by patting. Ensure your moisturizer has fully absorbed before applying the primer.

Allow the primer a minute or two to set on your skin before applying foundation. Ensure your foundation type is compatible with a silicone-based primer. Try patting your foundation over the primer instead of rubbing.

While it creates an `imperceptible veil`, its blurring effect is cosmetic. For prolonged wear, especially in humid conditions, ensure proper skin prep and consider using a setting spray after your full makeup application if used with foundation.
