Clarins Stretch Mark Minimizer-Review
Product Claims of Clarins Stretch Mark Minimizer
Clarins Stretch Mark Minimizer is the theme of our product review today. The maker's of this product claim that this cream can help provide elasticity and comfort to areas on the skin that are prone to stretch marks. Stretch marks can be result from rapid changes that could occur to the body during pregnancy, puberty or growth spurts.
Ingredients
The only 2 ingredients listed by the manufacturer are Centella Asiatica, which helps to soothe and comfort the skin, and Crowberry (which is a Clarins innovation) that helps to maintain the skin's texture. Based on our research, a product like this should contain clinically proven ingredients such as Emu, Jojoba oils, Aloe Vera, Sunflower, Allium Cepa (onion) bulb extract, and Safflower, as well as vitamin A and D. The absence of these key ingredients may leave the product less effective in comparison to other brands.
Dosage Instructions
There is no information regarding dosage or use on the manufacturer's website.
Cost and Guarantee
You can purchase this skin cream online from the manufacturer's website. A 6.8 ounce tube costs $56.00. There is a 10% discount for new customers. Shipping is $5 or free if you spend $100 or more. The manufacturer does not provide bulk buying discounts. The manufacturer offers a 30-day money-back guarantee for products bought from the online store but does not accept products that have been been opened or used. Return shipping is your responsibility.
Summary of Our Clarins Stretch Mark Minimizer Review
We like that the product comes in an easy to use tube. It also contains ingredients that may be beneficial to stretch marks. The manufacturer offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. There is a 10% discount for new customers. Shipping is free if you spend $100 or more. We do several criticisms however. The product lacks clinically proven ingredients such as Emu, Jojoba oils, Aloe Vera, Sunflower, Allium Cepa (onion) bulb extract, and Safflower, as well as vitamin A and D. The absence of these key ingredients may leave the product less effective in comparison to other brands. There is no assurance that the product is made in an FDA certified facility, that it is free from fillers and binders, and contains non GMO ingredients, or that it was not tested on animals. There are no specific warnings or side effects mentioned by the manufacturer, and the dosage instructions are non existent. The price is high at $56 per tube, and shipping is an extra cost unless you spend $100. The 30-day money-back guarantee is too short and does not allow you to return an opened or used tube of cream for a refund. The manufacturer does not provide bulk buying discounts. There a only 12 reviews on the product website. For all these reasons, we are not recommending Clarins Stretch Mark Minimizer. There are less expensive anti-stretch mark products on the market that contain clinically proven ingredients including key ingredients C, D and K and that also come with a reliable guarantee, and bulk buying discounts.
