Summary
it contains SPF, it is a lovely soft smooth moisturizer that hydrates my skin, it did absorb into my skin but not as fast as i had hoped but when it did my skin was left more smoother, hydrated and soft to the touch. Clarins is one f my favourite brands so i do use a majority of their brands and i really love using their products and i use this cream daily.

Nice enough but expensive and there are better moisturisers around for less money that are from more eco conscious manufacturers.

Not keen on packaging, had an allergic reaction to it.
Summary
I really wanted to try this cream and got a free sachet of it, well it was appealing from what I heard about it, there has been a big buzz about Clarins.
Sadly though, I had an allergic reaction to this cream so it is a no from me.
The cream was easy to apply and did absorb, but then my face was a mess afterwards.
