Tinted Oleo-Serum

Mixed feelings

I am mixed feelings about Clarins Tinted Oleo Serum. I am on my second bottle and there have been no changes from Clarins. Like many the bottle leaks, the dropper is at most in effective and I have experienced my skin flakey. On the last point it was suggested to me that I shake the bottle before using. When I do shake the bottle and control the amount of serum the results are positive and look natural.

Smooth serum

Applys so smoothly to freshen up for the day or use for full coverage on a night out. I love this so much.

Dissatisfied

I bought this because I like all the other products but it really doesn't do what it says. It goes on very thick, sits heavy on the skin and provides no glow at all.. The bottle it comes in leaks all over with what looks like an oily mix.

Superbe

J’adore son fini velouté, se fond comme du beurre. J’ai une peau sèche et mature

Déçu

Pas bon mélange très gras sur la peau marque les ridules… perte d’argent

Foundation and Serum combo

I bough this 4 months ago and did not immediately love i found it messy. A lady in the store recommended that I wear it over smooth instant smooth which actually manages the oily appearance. I ensure to shake the bottle very well and use only a few drops as it has great coverage. I apply on my face only with Clarins Multi-use Foundation brush which I absolutely love. I gave 4 stars only because I wish someone had explained how to use when I bought it otherwise, I love the product

Very nice. Wish it had SPF

First of all - this is a serum. Serums have a watery, oily texture and like any liquid it will leak and you will have a mess if you do not secure the cap- esp if you shake it it, lol! Currently I am using another brand of serum foundation, but as I use mostly Clarins products I thought I would give this a try and ordered some samples. I am on my second bottle of the other brand so I do like a serum foundations, but they take getting used to. I like it for day use, instead of a tinted moisturizer. A serum foundation is applied sparingly with the dropper a couple of drops at a time until you achieve the coverage you want. I think you should go a tad darker because they seem to lighten with wearing. Your skin will also look a bit wet or oily at first. These are things that take getting used to. The pay-off is a sheer, natural coverage that feels light on the skin and is nourishing. I think it gives my skin a nice wash of color and evens my skin tone surprisingly well. The Clarins serum seems to blend easier, have better coverage and is longer lasting than my current serum, but it doesn't have SPF and my current serum has an SPF of 40. I haven't decided if this is a deal breaker yet. I recommend trying some samples.

Moi j aime beaucoup

J ai acheté ce produit suite à un echantillon reçu. Il me donne de suite bonne mine et tient toute la journée. Je suis satisfaite

Tinted Oleo-Serum

This serum glides onto your skin and makes you feel fresh and healthy - use a darker colour than normal

Do not buy

Bought this a few months ago. Love the product however the container its is a complete nightmare. Everytime you shake it all the product leaks out. I’ve had it flick all up my cupboards and on my clothes. I’ve read other reviews about making sure the top is screwed on tightly and it’s on as tightly as I can screw it up. It’s a complete waste of money as I now don’t use it because it’s so messy. I would have thought a big company like Clarins would have fixed this problem by now. Do not buy.

Great look and feel

Love the lightweight, sheer look. Can wear it with or without powder. Love that it's moisturizing.

Oleo serum foundation

Do not like the dropper bottle!! Very messy and runs everywhere. Just a normal bottle or tube would be much better. Very expensive. Will not buy again! Very disappointed as I usually live Clarins products. !
