Clarins runs a proper Try Before You Buy sampling program at its counters: a Beauty Advisor gives you a personalized consultation and recommends a selection of samples for your skin's needs to try at home - each sample is good for about 1 to 5 uses.
The free route is in store at a Clarins counter. (On Clarins' website, the 3 free samples require an online purchase, so the counter is where the genuinely free samples are.)
