Conclusion

The benefits of using Clara’s cream and serum are undeniable. Team L A Beauty used these two products daily for two weeks, and now we are avid fans. Elasticity and firmness were noticeably improved. Although they didn’t erase lines and wrinkles from complete existence, they were definitely less visible. 

However, the wow-factor quality has to be how plump and healthy it makes the skin. The best way to explain this is this: you know how a good sheet mask literally achieves a skin transformation that is so good you look like you’ve visited a top aesthetician? 

Alas, you must know that the incredible skin rejuvenating results are about as good as Cinderella’s fairy godmother in that they generally run out at midnight. Well, these two products will keep that beautiful and youthful glow firmly on your face for the foreseeable (or until you run out).

The problem of the short-term sheet mask facelift is something we’ve agonised over since our first sheet mask review. The fact that Clara’s two beauty products seem to maintain that complexion transformation makes them irreplaceable. We love!
