So it's officially 21 days into my review and the review has come to an end. If you'd like to find out I'll continue using the products? Were they effective? Would I recommend them to someone else?

I have been using the Clarins Bright Plus lotion, and night cream for 3 weeks now, being that Clarins sent me the range without the serum then Beauty Bulletin sent me the range with the serum last week for this 4 week review. I'll touch on each product below, and please bare in mind it's only been a week of me using all the products together so the results aren't mind-blowing as yet.
Brightening day lotion:
The lotion smells devine, and it has an SPF which is a bonus, because I am a firm believer in wearing sunscreen daily be it overcast or sunny days. It leaves my skin feeling extremely smooth, and hydrated. I found that before I started using the range my skin was extremely dry and dull, because the products I was trying before were too harsh for my skin so this product has been very effective in hydrating my skin and restoring a glow.
Bright Plus Night Revive Cream:
The night cream also smells so good. It is extremely light weight which is good for people with oily skin, it doesn't leave your skin looking and feeling greasy however it isn't drying. It almost feels like a primer so it leaves a smooth/ slightly tacky feeling on your face.
Tri-Intensive Brightening Serum:
I have only been using the serum for a week so I honestly cannot say that I've seen results. I did breakout about a month ago when I traveled to KZN so due to climate change my skin reacted, and the breakout did leave some scaring behind I'm still in the process of getting rid of some of the texture on my forehead so I'm hoping this product will assist as I go along with this Clarins skincare journey.
Brightening Body Veil:
I am OBSESSED with this product. I used it about a year ago, and I'm back to using it now and I've loved it from day one. It's so amazing for hydrating and battling winter skin (I even mentioned it in my winter skincare routine video on my YouTube channel: Mihlali N) I cannot get enough of it. This lotion leaves your skin feeling so smooth, and it leaves a slight shimmer/ glow. Your skin feels hydrated throughout the WHOLE DAY I have no issues with dry or ashy appearing skin when using this product. I LOVE it.
Overall the products have been treating me well, I haven't experienced any reactions or irritation. My only concern is treating my breakout and the scaring it has left behind.
I Have been using the range for about 4 weeks now and my skin feels soft and the complexion has evened out. My main issue was that parts of my face would get dark after sun exposure and I would end up having a noticeable tone difference between my face a neck. The products contain SPF of 20 which has managed to keep the discoloration at bay. I did get a bit of a rash and some texture on the second week of using the products and my skin felt like it was about to peel off. I am not sure if it was a reaction to the ingredients or just stress related I guess time will tell.
I would advise the use of some type of oil for some one with dry skin cause I found the serum together with the night cream to be a bit drying although It wasn't an issue for me since I have oily skin.
The downside is the price point which is a little bit too much and the fact that it did not prevent my skin from breaking out. I also feel it would have been great if they had added a moisturizing face wash/cleanser and a toner to the range because I don't like mixing products.
All in all these are good quality products packaged nicely but and they come in a big bottle that will probably last over 2.5 to 3 months. I and my final rating would be a 3.5 but I would not be purchasing again due to it being too pricey for my budget.
I most definitely enjoyed using the smoothing serum. My skin felt very smooth after the morning and night application. My skin has a youthful healthy glow.
