Brighten Up: Clarins Bright Plus HP Intensive Brightening Smoothing Serum and On-the-Spot Brightening Corrector

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes the sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
--For Good, Wicked

Seriously, listen up. The new Clarins Bright Plus HP Intensive Brightening Smoothing Serum and On-the-Spot Brightening Corrector have Changed. My. Life. Before them, my skin was dull and lackluster. Before them, my skin cried out for moisture. Before them, I didn’t know what happiness was.

Okay, maybe I’m being a little melodramatic. But in all honesty, I’ve never found a serum and treatment that brighten, hydrate and nourish quite like these two do. Both are formulated with a combination of sea lily and alchemilla extracts to provide optimal protection against dark spots, while meadowsweet extract purifies and soothes.


To begin with, the On-the-Spot Brightening Corrector is a ROLL-ON. Loyal readers will already know about my obsession with roll-on fragrances ... so this was a no-brainer. Simply roll it over the spots that need a little touching up (I’ve been using it in the morning on my dark under-eye circles) and voila! Instant refresh.


And the Intensive Brightening Smoothing Serum? Well, wow. Never has my skin looked so radiant or felt so smooth. Three small pumps and I am GLOWING. Even better, the results last all day!

Clarins Bright Plus HP Intensive Brightening Smoothing Serum retails for $68. Clarins Bright Plus HP On-the-Spot Brightening Corrector retails for $35.
