Supremely humourous Clarins promotional video

September 8th, 2007

As many of you will remember, cosmetics company Clarins recently launched Expertise 3P, a spray that could form an invisible “Magnetic Defence Complex” on your skin, protecting you from the skin-ageing effects of “Artificial EMF” (a.k.a. mobile phone waves etc). Things were going swimmingly until several people complained to the Advertising Standards Authority that Clarins was talking utter rubbish. The ASA agreed and ordered Clarins to remove the offending claims from their promotional material.

Happily for us, nothing every dies on the internet, and I have dug up this wonderfully silly promotional video featuring an interview with Dr Lionel di Benetti, head of R&D at Clarins. If only I’d seen this before posting my top 10 bad scientists on film.
