Clarifying Water Essence
THE LINE
Marine spa specialists Thalgo’s new Lumière Marine collection is a corrective line targeting skin tone, dark spots and pigmentation. The line rectifies the damaging results of various environmental stressors including pollution, UV and blue light. Brown algae extract throughout the range is the star ingredient used to combat dark spots. The first step in this brightening new range is the Clarifying Water Essence, a mild gel-like formula that smoothes, hydrates and illuminates.
LOOKS
Sleek slimline packaging makes for an attractive addition to the minimalist beauty shelf and mimics the fresh-looking clear water essence within.
WHAT’S IN IT
Hyaluronic acid, brown algae and White Agaric extracts work together to smooth and maintain a supple and flawless skin. The essence attracts and holds moisture to the skin, warding off external pollutants and irritants, prepping the skin’s top layers for maximum absorption.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Choose this essence if you are concerned about the quality of your skin’s appearance, and if your skin feels uncomfortable or has become dull.
PUT TO THE TEST
Almost from first use the Clarifying Water Essence adds a welcome smoothness. Further applications left the skin looking plumped, cushioned to the touch and visibly clear. My complexion looked even and glowing.
