Key Benefits of Clarins Rose Radiance Cream

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using Clarins Rose Radiance Cream:
 

🔵🔵🔵 Rich Moisturizer Perfect for Dry Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Clarins Rose Radiance Cream is intensely moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 9.6 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈9.0%), and a very high occlusivity of 9.2 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Corylus Avellana (Hazelnut) Seed Oil (est. ≈6.0%) and Dimethicone (est. ≈4.0%).

This type of moisturizer is ideal for people with dry skin who want intense hydration. It combines a high concentration of humectants and occlusive ingredients to provide effective dual-action moisturizing specifically for dry skin.

The occlusive profile of Clarins Rose Radiance Cream suggests a rich, thick texture, making it perfectly suited for dry skin.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

📌 Please note that this is not a complete list of benefits. We are in the process of enhancing our model to incorporate anti-pigmentation, exfoliation and anti-acne ratings.

Things to Be Aware Of: Clarins Rose Radiance Cream

 
CreamScan identified a few things to consider before adding Clarins Rose Radiance Cream to your skincare routine:
 

⚠️ Best for Dry Skin - May Be Too Thick for Other Skin Types

With high occlusivity, this product is optimal for dry skin but may be too thick for combination and especially oily skin. Even on normal skin, it can feel too rich depending on the quantity applied, the environment, and individual preferences.

If you have oily, combination, or normal skin and are considering purchasing this product for the first time, it might be a good idea to try a sample before buying.

⚠️ Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy

If one of your main reasons for choosing Clarins Rose Radiance Cream is its potential anti-aging effects, please note that, according to CreamScan analysis, it currently has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients often marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Ascorbyl Glucoside, Harungana Madagascariensis Extract, and Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Extract. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of these ingredients provide insufficient evidence of efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. 

While this does not categorically rule out the possibility that these ingredients may reduce wrinkles, their efficacy is not supported by convincing, vehicle-controlled, double-blind clinical studies - at least none that were available to the CreamScan team at the time of publication.

Therefore, these ingredients do not generate the anti-wrinkle rating.

📌 Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, can deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Pros & Cons of Clarins Rose Radiance Cream

 
Here’s an overview of the pros and cons of Clarins Rose Radiance Cream to help you decide if it’s the right choice for your skincare routine:
 

🟩 Pros:

⭕ Cons: 

⚠️ May feel too rich and thick on skin types other than dry
⚠️ Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy
   

Summary: Clarins Rose Radiance Cream

 
Based on the ingredient list analysis, CreamScan AI suggests that Clarins Rose Radiance Cream
 is an ideal moisturizer for dry skin, combining a very high concentration of humectants and occlusive ingredients in a rich, thick texture.
 
That said, there are some things about Clarins Rose Radiance Cream worth noting.
 
With its high occlusivity, Clarins Rose Radiance Cream is ideal for dry skin but may feel too thick on other skin types. If you have oily, combination, or normal skin, it’s a good idea to try a sample before purchasing.
 
If one of your main reasons for considering Clarins Rose Radiance Cream is its potential anti-aging effects, please note that, according to CreamScan analysis, its anti-wrinkle efficacy is questionable. None of the ingredients in this product provide substantial evidence of their anti-wrinkle efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards.
