I have participated in the event of clarins Last week I realized that this was the first skincare brand I started actively using when I turned 21. I remember walking into Shoppers Drug Mart on West Broadway and talking about how my skin suddenly felt so dry. Clarins Comfort He was recommended the cream and from there he moved on to the Multi-Active collection. I never thought I’d get to learn more about this brand through the press list, but I’m grateful to be able to grow old with this brand and hope to continue sharing their products here or in some form of virtual space if I can. I am. One of their latest launches is Cryoflash Cream Cold Face Mask ($90.00 CDN), a mask that utilizes the anti-aging effects of cold therapy. This isn’t a treatment I’ve had before, but I was very curious to see how cold this mask felt.
What’s special about this mask? I don’t usually use cream masks, but what got me interested in this mask and opened it immediately was what Clarins calls a “cryo-active texture.” An innovation that uses both molecular and botanical technology to recreate the mechanism of cooling on the skin. This technology combines MGA molecules, a menthol derivative that is less irritating to the skin than menthol itself, and evening primrose extract, which restores skin radiance.
As you can imagine, this mask has a minty, cooling sensation when applied to the skin, which not only feels refreshing, but also moisturizes the skin and, in the long term, can have anti-aging effects similar to cryotherapy. Masu. The texture is very similar to a thick cold cream and feels very soothing when massaged into the skin. The second thing I really like about this mask is that it acts like a moisturizer so you don’t have to wash it off. Just wipe off the excess with a tissue and you’re done. I use this as a sleeping mask and find that even when applied quite generously, my skin absorbs most of the product and is very easy to wash off in the morning. The scent is very faintly floral, a very “Clarins” type scent for those familiar with Clarins products. It’s all very subtle.
In terms of ingredients, the list seems focused on hydration and MGA molecules, which I have no problem with. Evening primrose extract and other well-known anti-aging plant extracts like edelweiss are quite low on the list.
Ingredients: Aqua/Water/EAU. Glycerin. Butyrospermum Parky (Shea) Butter (Moisturizing). Octyldodecanol. Cococaprylic/capric acid. 1,2-Hexanediol. Ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP copolymer.

Final verdict: I liked this mask so much that I use it more than the recommended 1-2 times a week when I feel like I need some relief from the cooling sensation on my skin. My skin felt and looked better after applying the mask, not just in the morning, but I often say that my skin condition is pretty good now, so the difference between before and after use was not that big. , this was not a real drawback of the mask. product. It would be great if the lifting effect lasted or the sagging areas of my face were tightened, but for now, this is one of my favorite sleeping masks. I used to collect sleeping masks of Pokemon and other things, but there were many that I didn’t like, like they were a little sticky or difficult to wash off with just water in the morning (this is the only face wash I use). I noticed that. This mask is quickly absorbed and moisturizes. What I love most about skincare is the cooling and minty feel, which is hard to find. So for me, this will probably be my only sleeping mask for a while. If you want real cryotherapy results, I think it’s probably best to go to a medi-spa, but if you’re looking for a new refreshing way to go to bed or start your day, this mask is super cool . Pun intended!
Clarins Cryoflash Cream Cold Face Mask can be found at Clarins.ca and Shoppers Drug Mart. If you’re buying at regular price, you’ll probably get your mask at one of these locations since it’s 20% more at Sephora.
