Hi guys, so welcome back to my channel
0:09
Contrary to what I'm wearing, this video is not about Wrestle Athletic, but this is something
0:14
I recently found from one of the past collaborations that I did with Nordstrom
0:18
At that time they were carrying Wrestle Athletics and I had to wear it because it's pink and
0:23
I actually have like three of these shirts in different colors. Anyways, I'm side-tracking, that's not the video about
0:29
You guys know I have done actually I think two videos about Clarins products and I absolutely
0:35
love this brand because I think they have such high quality products and they are really
0:39
really effective. I will link them up here. I have done one with Clarins, like I think body oil and like a scrub and I have also
0:50
done the Clarins that's like a scrub for face and also the mask
0:55
It was so good. I actually finished most of them actually already
1:00
I think the only thing that's left is the oil. I 100% recommend those products
1:04
So today I am trying specifically Clarins Men. So this is essentially like a sub-brand of Clarins and just only for men
1:12
So these are two products here. It is Clarins Men Energizing Gel and also Energizing Eye Gel
1:23
So one is for your face and one is for your eye area. So we're gonna test these out
1:28
I have been trying them for the couple of past days so just to see how they are
1:32
First thing I'm gonna start is this actual, the big energizing gel
1:37
So this thing, first thing I like about like not that big fan of the color for the packaging
1:42
and everything but one thing I love is that like packaging is so cool because I think
1:46
when you're traveling and everything and like it's important that like it doesn't get provoked
1:51
but also you don't lose the product. So you don't use too much product because when you have like pump or anything it's easier
1:58
to not use too much product because it tells you how much you need
2:01
So this is essentially like this because when you're just twisting it, it's open and you
2:07
can just put it. You guys see. So it's like I got like three pumps now and you can just apply it very easily and it dries
2:20
super fast. It's not like greasy or anything. It smells pretty good
2:26
So that's one thing I'm going to say. Almost most of these products have very similar ingredients because it's like sub-brand of
2:34
them just different slightly. So they have both red ginseng extract. I'll put it here
2:42
I might be butchering the name but this is essentially like a plant that really helps with your hydration in your face
2:50
Because I think over time as we get older, it's very important that like we have we get
2:55
hydration for our face because we are not getting like we are not getting as much like
3:01
moisture as we used to get. It's just the way we are I guess, you know, like part of growing up they say
3:10
So anyways, yeah, and this is like that's the reason I'm actually doing this in the
3:14
morning because I want to show you guys like how rough I look and I'm going to apply actually
3:18
this energizing gel. So I'll show you guys. So because they are just selling this as like a you know, this is energizing gel, but this
3:27
is not like a because at first from my understanding, I just really thought this was a serum because
3:33
you know gel serum they're kind of like a very similar texture, but this is not a serum
3:38
This is essentially like a moisturizer, but in a moisturizer in a very gel format because
3:44
it's not like your typical moisturizer that's like cream cream. This is kind of like a liquidy, very similar to like a serum, but not exactly serum
3:53
So it's like between serum and moisturizer. So that's that. Another thing I would say because I thought in the comments someone was saying is that
4:03
so this big one has alcohol actually. I'm gonna probably say this that's I mean this thing is this is totally fine with me
4:12
because I haven't really seen any reaction in my face or my hand at all
4:18
I have used this like a bunch of times now so nothing at all. I have also tried it with my boyfriend, nothing
4:24
But I do see why that's happening like why some people are not happy about it, but I
4:28
have to be honest with you guys. I have noticed this with so many brands
4:33
Most luxury brands, I don't know if this is like a marketing thing or it's just the way
4:39
people want to buy because they want to feel luxurious. They just have alcohol meaning most of them have actually fragrance in it
4:47
It just may be because of the experience that like you know when you're using it you're like wow it smells so good and like it's luxurious, it's expensive
4:56
I don't know maybe it's because of that because it doesn't really do a purpose in terms of
5:01
you know why would you need to add a fragrance to it
5:05
There's literally no purpose besides just like to make it smell nicer
5:09
That's only a downside to it. Personally I don't mind it because it's not like super strong or anything that it lingers
5:17
But I can see for some people who have sensitive skin that they would be not happy about it
5:22
So just want to worry you guys about that. But this one is only for the energizing gel
5:26
So I'm going to double check again to see because they almost pretty much have the same
5:30
ingredients just to see if the eye gel has the alcohol in it or like any sort of fragrance
5:36
because I would not recommend anything that has alcohol to put on under your eyes
5:45
Let's be honest because our skin is already sensitive right? Like not super sensitive but like they're pretty strong and sensitive
5:52
This eye area is very sensitive. That's why like when you apply, when you need to apply something to your eyes before you
6:00
do it apply it somewhere else in your skin and if you're fine then you can apply it to
6:04
your eyes. But speaking of that so let's get into this one
6:09
So I like this product a lot because I, there are a lot of eye creams they just like, it's
6:14
like a cream and you apply it yourself. But I recommend most eye gels or eye creams that you get, again not recommend eye creams
6:22
overall but if you need to, get the ones that have metal head on it
6:28
Not plastic ones like Kylie Skin that they sell it because plastic is not going to do
6:32
anything good and worst case it's actually going to cause infection on your skin so probably
6:37
you shouldn't get it. But this one has metal. You know when I remember when I was a kid I think it was my mom or my grandma was telling
6:45
me that like you should put a spoon on your like on your eyes in case you have black circles
6:51
or dark circles or whatever so it will really help. And the spoon is made out of metal
6:56
So this is essentially the same thing so it's like a cold metal that really helps with energizing
7:01
your skin and it has such a cooling effect. On top of that it has serum in it, well serum I mean formula
7:08
So when you apply it, so this is what it looks like, it literally looks like a shaving part
7:13
but it's so cooling and you just press it a little bit and it just applies
7:25
Honestly even if it didn't have a formula just putting it by itself it is so cooling
7:30
I 100% recommend it. You don't necessarily have to get this to do this but I'm just saying this literally
7:37
has a similar effect as like putting a spoon into the freezer then taking it out and putting
7:43
it in your eyes. Literally the same effect but except this one has formula too so it really helps with
7:49
dark circles and everything but on top of it so it's like extra effective
7:54
But it's just so cooling to have you know formula and this metal head
8:04
I will have to give like 10 out of 10 for that because metal heads are so effective
8:09
especially in eye gel so because I don't generally recommend like eye creams or anything but
8:15
because this has this I mean it's really effective. Like who wants to carry a spoon with themselves
8:21
Let's be honest you know or if you don't have like a clean spoon I don't know
8:27
But anyways so I'm just saying like it's really effective I recommend it
8:31
I'm gonna try to find to see if they have like different effect to it but this also
8:35
has red ginseng extract so you can definitely use it. So they both really help with the moisture and locking your hydration in
8:43
It really helps a lot with dark circles if you're you know struggling with that
8:49
I would personally say I like the eye gel better than this one
8:55
There's nothing against it but I'm just I just not prefer like super gel format for
9:00
moisturizer that's just my personal preference but that's just it. And thank you so much for Clarence sending me these two products
9:08
I'm gonna link them down below and so you guys can check them out and prefer to see
9:12
