1. Clarins UV Plus HP Day Screen (Only spree-ing for Non-tinted/Neutral version - right pic)
* Note: Supplier does not have any stock for the sun screen in tinted version (can also be used as a make-up base), as she said that it's less popular and requested by customers. Therefore, she does not have any stock for it. Do kindly take note that I'm only spree-ing for the non-tinted version, exactly similar to the older version, except that it has an additional new "technology" e3p. i.e. Clarins UV Plus HP Day Screen is an upgraded version of the old one.
Her World Beauty Awards 2005
for Sun Protection - UV PLUS Protective Day Screen SPF 40+++ (Editor’s Choice)
This amazing sun block contains PA40+++ which will help to prevent aging on skin by the sun! Most importantly, Clarins had added their new 'technology' e3p, which will prevent pollutions, computer ray, etc, from harming ur skin!
Extracted from Clarins website (www.clarins.com):
This ultra-light lotion is oil-free and resistant to water and perspiration. Offering SPF 40 PA+++ protection, skin stays safe from harmful UVA, UVB rays and IR rays (known factors with regards to skin ageing and hyperpigmentation). The addition of Expertise 3P shields skin from all forms of pollution, even electromagnetic waves which can accelerate the ageing process. UV Plus HP Day Screen comes in 2 versions - tinted and neutral.
Beauty Benefits :
- An invisible protective film that is quick and easy to apply and does not leave behind any feeling of build up.
- An extremely fine, matte texture that facilitates make-up application and enhances its wear.
- Offers effective protection against UV rays. Skin maintains a clear and radiant appearance.
Ingredients :
- Contains 100% natural mineral filters and is suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive.
- UV filters (SPF 40 PA+++) effectively protect the skin against the harmful effects of light.
- Dermatologist tested, non-comedogenic.
Method of Use : Incredibly matte, it can be applied over your daytime moisturizer and just before foundation. Its lightweight texture is quickly absorbed into skin in preparation for make-up application.
For me, I would squeeze certain amount out (approx. 50 cents size) for only certain parts of face and not spreading the sun block throughout the face. Have read in a magazine that the face will be more 'protected' if sun block is applied parts by parts on face. Probably 'cos in this way, at least you can ensure that most parts of skin is protected under sun block!
Personal reviews : I'm a fan of their UV Plus old version. My skin condition - uneven skintone, acne-prone and super sensitive skin. I haven’t had any breakout from it since I started using. I have been using Clarins UV Plus SPF 40 for approximately 6 months now and would strongly recommend this product - does not leave any white cast on your face and your complexion definitely looks brighter upon application! The sun screen really gives radiance, and fades my marks as well. I believe my large pores have become slightly smaller too! Can last more than 3mths with daily use! I’m on my way to finishing my second bottle, and thus am opening this spree to try out the latest version of Clarins UV Plus HP Day Screen SPF 40, getting only the non-tinted (neutral) one.
Just a piece of advice: If you want an SPF that is strong, light, non-greasy (the texture is more watery than any other sun block products I’ve used), and doesn't smell, THIS IS DEFINITELY IT. I am addicted and will never use anything else :) best thing is, my face doesn't look oily! just matt and bright!!!
Quoted from Media - The Straits Times :
Try Clarins UV Plus HP Day Screen High Protection SPF40 PA+++, $70, from Level 1, Tangs Orchard. It feels light, absorbs easily and now comes with an anti-pollution complex that reportedly filters out even electromagnetic waves. It comes in a non-tinted and tinted version.

A: Approximately 1-1.5 weeks after spree closure. However, in the event that supplier runs out of stock, please be prepared to wait for an extra week or so. Will try my very best to rush the supplier for stock if unforseen circumstances occur.
