What it is formulated to do:The ultimate pick-me-up for tired, stressed skin, this radiance-making product helps eliminate signs of fatigue in a flash. A great 10-minute "energy" mask, its non-oily formula prepares skin for perfect makeup application and hours of luminous wear. What else you need to know:Formulated with olive extract, this ingredient helps to smooth the skin's surface, diffusing the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

It is allergy-tested and non-comedogenic.

Review 1 for Beauty Flash Balm
not what i was looking for... but ok
-03.31.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
i was looking for a bb cream that would help me cover imperfections without having to go for foundation. my foundation right now is really fabulous it's the chanel vitalumiere aqua. But I don't want to use it every day. This is really nice for a primer and it makes your face glory but it doesn't give you any coverage whatsoever. I have since this purchase origins vita zing and am soooo pleased with it. I think that's what I was really looking for. Am keeping this one though to use as a primer.

Review 2 for Beauty Flash Balm
Not for Dry or Flyers
-02.20.12
Quick Take: tightening
I have really dry skin but this product was raved about in several travel blogs that I read and being a frequent traveller who wants to look fresh and radiant when I step off the plane, I bought this in a heartbeat. Well, I must have missed the 'tightens' bit, because I put it on and my face instantly pruned up. The last thing you want after an already overly dry flight is to feel tight! I would not recommend this product to anyone with dry skin and it should not be listed as a moisturizer!

Amazing
-02.15.12
This balm healed a honker of a pimple I had burgeoning on my chin, I kid you not! At first I even hesitated to even use the balm on my broken-out face, but I just couldn't resist the smell!!! I kept dabbing the product on my major pimple throughout the day and the next morning the redness and swelling had gone down considerably.
I am not sure about the whole 'glowing skin' thing this product promises, but I do love the way it smells and its miraculous healing properties.

Amazing balm
-02.03.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, dewy fresh, eliminates imperfections
This product changes the appearance of your skin, makes skin dewy, fresh, and eliminates the imperfections. I love using this product over my usual moisturizer or just before my tinted moisturizer. It has made my winter skin feel like its just had a drink of water, and I love the fresh scent. Amazing product. I can't live without it now.

Great, but not a miracle
-01.22.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
I think after all the amazing reviews, I was expecting a miracle transformation with this product. That didn't happen. However, my face does look a bit brighter and more rested, just overall prettier when I use this, with or without makeup over it. I usually don't wear foundation, so i like this with some concealer under my eyes. My skin also feels very smooth with it on.

Review 8 for Beauty Flash Balm
Fresh!
-01.18.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
After application, this balm makes the skin brighter, tighter and very refreshed! I've never seen a similar product that isn't a serum. The smell is clean and light too! I will be using this product for a long time to come!

Refresh instantly
-01.13.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, it's great!
I use to buy this product and I liked it very much; however, as it goes, we get into new products and forget the old. Beauty Flash Balm has been a favorite Clarins product for years, so I asked to try a sample when I was in Sephora over the holidays. I loved it once again and decided to buy it and I'm happy I did. It tightens and brightens my skin and makes me look like I just had a facial. I definitely recommend it.

Essential for every woman!
-01.02.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, effective
An absolute beauty essential. Couldn't live without it! A great product that moisturises, firms, primes and gives a natural radiance. One of my all time favourite products that I have used for about 20 yrs!

Review 11 for Beauty Flash Balm
Major Ammo for Aging or Dull Skin
-01.01.12
Quick Take: intensive, lightweight, absorbs quickly
I'm 62, and this product really makes a visible difference immediately, no matter how you use it; as a mask, as a moisturizer, as a primer. It does seem have a minimizing effect on my pores, it brightens the skin tone and makes it glow subtly, and it makes your skin tone even out nicely. It's worth the price and a good buy. I really like it and am impressed with the results.

Review 13 for Beauty Flash Balm
The balm bomb!
-12.06.11
Quick Take: intensive, lightweight, absorbs quickly
I have oily skin and really didn't think this stuff was for me, but bought it due to rave reviews. Well, they were right! It does everything it claims. I use it mainly when I've been out too late, or my skin is dehydrated, etc. I put it on and leave it overnight and the next day, voila', my skin is glowing and refreshed. I love it so much, I bought my bff some for her birthday.

Review 15 for Beauty Flash Balm
Okay..
-11.28.11
Quick Take: absorbs quickly
For the price I was expecting to see more results. Does give you a subtle glow but since my skin is prone to being on the oily side I don't think this product helps.

Review 16 for Beauty Flash Balm
A quick pick me up for skin
-11.28.11
Quick Take: moisturizing, radiance boosting, smoothing
I've wanted to try this product for years now, ever since reading about it in the beauty press. I've finally tried it, and am quite pleased. At first I was confused by how to apply it - the directions say not to rub it in and to apply makeup immediately afterwards. I have to say it has become an indispensible part of my morning routine. I get out of the shower, apply eye cream, then gently smooth the Balm over my face with upward strokes. Then I immediately put on my tinted moisturizer. It just makes my skin look better - rested and glowy and luminous.

amazing!
-11.15.11
it's a WONDER BALM.
it really makes my skin silky soft and gave a nice, subtle glow. I look so well-rested and it also smells gorgeous.
my only complaint is that the bottle is so small (compared to price)- but will cut corners else where so I can continue with this product.

Quick Take: intensive, lightweight, absorbs quickly, glowing, great mask
i'm 28 and my skin is naturally pretty good to nice, but if i used this mask for 15-20 minutes i'm glowing so much my boyfriend can even tell without me saying anything. it's easy, gentle, and makes you look well-rested (i sleep 4 hrs. a night so it helps a lot)
