Clarins Beauty Flash Balm 50ml is one of the most cult skincare products in luxury beauty — a multi-tasking treatment originally launched in 1993 and updated in recent years to a 96%-natural-origin formula. The lightweight balm works as a 10-minute radiance mask, a hydrating makeup primer or a quick pick-me-up before an event, instantly tightening, brightening and softening the complexion in a single step.
