Clarins Moisture-Rich Hydrating Body Lotion

Clarins Moisture-Rich Hydrating Body Lotion is the rich-cream option for skin that feels tight and thirsty by the end of the day. Clarins reformulated it around 88% naturally-sourced ingredients — shea butter, organic raspberry water, tamarind pulp acids and organic oat sugars — and built the texture so it sinks in instead of sitting on top. You can get dressed straight after.

What it actually does

• Softens genuinely dry skin. Shea butter does the heavy nourishing here — Clarins positions it as the ingredient that cocoons tight, parched skin in a protective layer.
• Smooths rough patches without a scrub. Tamarind pulp acids give a gentle exfoliating action while the organic oat sugars work on firmness, so texture evens out over time.
• Buffers the things that dry you out. Clarins makes a specific claim here: the formula shields skin against what dries it out — sun, cold, indoor heating, air-conditioning.
• Holds hydration for longer. Bitter orange wax is included to keep moisture levels steady rather than spiking and dropping.
• Doesn't leave you sticky. The texture is designed to disappear into skin, which is the practical difference between a lotion you use daily and one you skip.
• Recognised in its category. Clarins lists a Town & Country Beauty Award for Best Body Lotion (2023) for this product.

How to use

1. Apply morning, evening, or both — the formula is light enough for twice-daily use.
2. Work it in over slightly damp skin after a shower; that's when dry skin takes a rich cream best.
3. Give extra passes to the usual suspects — shins, elbows, knees, heels, upper arms.
4. Get dressed immediately. There's no waiting period with this texture.

Questions

Is it greasy? I hate waiting to get dressed.

No — Clarins specifically built the texture to melt in with no wait time before dressing. It's rich in feel but not in residue.

Can I use it on my face?

It's formulated as a body lotion, so keep it below the jaw. Facial skin is thinner and the fragrance load in body products is typically higher than you'd want there.

What makes the shea butter in it different?

Clarins sources it responsibly from the women in West Africa who harvest and hand-extract it — a tradition passed between generations. The brand ties that sourcing commitment to its wider Responsible Beauty position, which also covers the recycled, recyclable tube.
