Clarins Body Partner - Stretch Mark Expert 175ml

I've been increasingly using Beauty Affairs over some of the other e-commerce websites like Look fantastic and Strawberry net. Not only are they comparable on price their customer service blows the others out of the water. As soon as you have an issue that requires customer service to be, involved you notice the huge difference. Beauty Affairs went to lengths to resolve an issue where I purchased the incorrect skincare product while on offer. The process of exchanging it, even though the product wasn't on offer anymore, was very easy and definitely far better than my experience with other sites.

Alcohol is the 3rd ingredient

Alcohol is the 3rd ingredient?? I know they probably did testing on this but alcohol can absorb through the skin and if it is at high enough concentration, into the bloodstream. So that they are recommending it for pregnant people I hope they did the proper research on this. If I were pregnant I wouldn't risk this though.

Amazing cream! The pump is a miss.

I first discovered this as a sample from Sephora. I'm 46 and can honestly say I've *never* immediately loved a body cream as much as this. It made my tummy skin feel soft and silky, and my hands too! I can't say yet if it's affected stretch marks. I have only a few stretch marks from 2 pregnancies, and my belly skin is more loose than it was pre-pregnancy. But it's really all about the way this cream feels!The pump, however, doesn't work for me about 90% of the time. I can barely get any product out no.matter what I do (tap it on the counter right- side-up or upside-down, pump 50+ times, etc). I might have to cut it open and decant it to use this as it's quite frustrating to really love a product but not be able to actually use it!

Best stretch mark cream

This is the best stretch marks cream I have ever used. I have had stretch marks ever since I first got my period. This cream managed to get rid of over ten years worth of stretch marks!!!! I still have loads from when I got pregnant but they’re slowly going away. I have been a fan and I’ve purchased over 5 from Boots. The only bad thing about it is the price :( but overall it’s amazing!!

Great absorption

I’ve always enjoyed clarins products.Im pregnant and looking for a good organic belly oil for stretch mark prevent and my friends recommended this body partner cream to me. They both used it during their pregnancy and said it was good. I have dry skin in the winter because i do use very hot water to shower. I felt this cream had great absorption and non greasy so the product doesnt get sticked on my clothes and go to waste. I cant tell if this product works for stretch marks or not as im only mid way through my pregnancy.

Great stretch mark cream

Currently 6 months pregnant and growing rapidly. No new stretch marks since using this and my existing ones have certainly faded dramatically! The cream absorbs quickly and isn't too sticky. Very convenient for putting on after a shower and before getting dressed or before getting into bed. Very happy with this.

Miracle product in an age of not-so-many-miracles!

I've been buying this product for years as a gift for pregnant nieces, friends and other relatives. I tried it myself starting some months ago only when I accidentally bought an extra one. I'm so glad I mistakenly ordered an extra. Before Trying it myself, I spoke with a Clarins Customer Service person to ask whether it was appropriate for older, non-pregnant women. When assured that it was, I began trying it.Since then, it's joined this season's list of favorite products (don't get me started!!! But check out the online exclusives!!!). in particular, I appreciate that, as advertised, Body Partner DOES diminish stretch marks, and also that it's easy to use, with the "squirt" feature allowing one to dispense the product easily and on specifically challenged ... MoreI've been buying this product for years as a gift for pregnant nieces, friends and other relatives.

My go-to

I’m almost finished with my second bottle. I’m due in 2 weeks. I’m getting ready to order my third. Most of me says I don’t need a third bottle but the voice inside of me says to continue at least until my third bottle is finished, even if it’s postpartum. The formula is amazing. It’s thin yet significant at the same time. I’m able to massage it in to all of the suggested areas and soon get dressed for work. It soaks in wonderfully and I can feel the results even after it’s ‘dry’ and fully soaked in. There’s hardly any scent, so it’s been wonderful for my sensitive nose during this pregnancy. I have not one stretch mark due to this pregnancy. The only ones I have are the ones I gained in the 7th grade when I grew a booty. This is the only stretch cream I’ve ever ... MoreI’m almost finished with my second bottle. I’m due in 2 weeks. I’m getting ready to order my third.

So Gentle & Smooth!

I was using bio oil prior to this product and SO glad I tried this one. I love that the texture and scent are both are very gentle, smooth and well formulated. The cream absorbs pretty qiuickly without any extra residue. You won't feel sticky or oily once it quickly dries. So far, stretch marks are pretty limited (I have been using it since 2nd trimester and bio oil since 1st becasue I was so itchy). I highly reccommend this for a belly and booby moisturizer:) especially if you're really itchy, it immediately relieves dry/itchy skin. I use it every night before bed and keep it on my nightstand! I even add a little extra pump to rub into my hands.

what is up with this pump

I’ve only started using this for my pregnancy and have yet to see results. BUT it’s so frustrating to have to pump this tube more than 50 times just to get a shall amount of the product. With the name and cost, you’d expect that they would think this through and invest in a more efficient pump! Geez!!! I would not but again!!!expecting mothers are already at risk of carpal tunnel syndrome and this just aggravates it!
