Clarins Beauty Flash Balm copycat products?

  • Can you let me / the forum know if you find the superdrug one in stock, as I'd be interested to know what it's called or if it's still being sold - as I can't say I've ever seen it when in store. Have tried out the M&S version just the 1 day & liked it so far. Seemed to have an almost instant tightening / contouring effect on my face, made the skin look super smooth & left it looking like that for most of the day (I have oily skin type so skin looks 'dewy / greasey' as the day progresses). People with dryer skin types might find the product too drying however...

    The Sanctuary's 'Skin Brightening Cream' is around £10 from Boots and, having used them both, found it works just as well as the Clarins.

    Do these really have the same effect as Beauty Flash Balm??? I love it but it is so expensive and I would love a substitute... since finding MSE I can't justify buying it! :D

    I have tried both Clarins and Superdrug at round about the same time. This was a few years ago so unless either brand has changed I found them to be just as good as each other.
