The power of science

In cosmetics, vitamin C is known to promote radiance and even skin tone—visibly reducing the appearance of dark spots. However, in its pure state, it is unstable and breaks down quickly when exposed to light or heat. To help guarantee its performance in our formulas, Clarins Laboratories uses a stabilized vitamin C derivative.
