Face Serums

Power up your skincare regimen with targeted, problem-solving serums! Sourced from around the world, our face serums are designed using a range of botanicals to deliver a concentration of ingredients that amplify the benefits of your moisturizer. A simple but highly-effective way to target your specific skin concerns!

What is a face serum?

Clarins serums are concentrated, nutrient-rich formulas that target specific skin concerns and boost the performance of your moisturizer.

Clarins always chooses a natural ingredient over a chemical one, if it delivers the same level of effectiveness. This is the golden rule researchers followed when designing our innovative skin serums. Each product contains a carefully selected collection of botanicals. Some of these ingredients are seasoned stand-bys, while others are at the forefront of skincare innovation as new breakthroughs are made in technology and plant science.

Regular use of these key ingredients as part of a Clarins skincare regimen can help the skin to appear healthy and glowing.

The bonus? Since each Clarins skin serum is formulated with the best herbs, exotic fruits, soothing flowers, and tree extracts, every application of serum is a unique, sensorial experience that delights the senses and generates a sense of wellbeing. What’s more, each of our serums has a refreshing, lightweight texture that is quickly absorbed into the skin.

How to use a face serum

If you’re wondering how to apply a serum on your face, the first step is to start after cleansing, toning, and applying eye cream. A serum should be applied before your moisturizer. The best hydrating face serum is designed not only to deliver a boost of nutrients to the skin but to enhance the benefits of your moisturizer.

A skin serum can be included in both your day and nighttime skincare regimens. You can opt to use two different serums in the morning and evening. Remember that serums are much more concentrated than moisturizers, so a little goes a long way.

To maximize serum results, you’ll need to make sure you’re applying it properly. As you apply, keep in mind that each Clarins serum has a unique texture and natural botanical fragrance—so relax, and breathe deeply to enhance the full aromatherapy and phytotherapy benefits.

Warm: Bring the serum to skin temperature by warming between your palms so your skin accepts it instantly. 3 seconds should be enough.
Apply: Use the natural weight of your hands to distribute the product evenly over your face and neck. 8 seconds is all it takes.
Drain: Use Clarins’ Draining Pressure Method to enhance circulation, revive radiance and promote healthy looking skin. Repeat: 3 times on the cheeks, 3 times on the forehead, 5 times on the neck and décolleté. 16 seconds later and you’re all set.

If you’re in doubt about which serum to use, Clarins Double Serum is an excellent choice for women of all ages, ethnicities, and skin types—even the most sensitive skin.

Double Serum

Clarins Double Serum is an iconic two-phase serum formulated with 21 potent plant extracts—including age-defying Turmeric—to visibly firm, smooth and boost radiance. Inspired by the dual water and oil nature of the skin, it combines the perfect ratio of water soluble (hydric) and oil soluble (lipidic) ingredients to address all visible signs of surface skin aging. Think of it as two power-packed serums in one!

This classic formula has been revisited seven times, as new breakthroughs have been made in technology and plant science. Now on its eighth generation, Double Serum is our most powerful age control concentrate ever - suitable for all ages, ethnicities, and skin types.

Bright Plus Serum

Serums that target dark spots, discolorations, and dullness should leave your skin looking radiant and revitalized. Bright Plus Advanced Brightening Dark Spot-Targeting Serum is a powerful, fast-absorbing serum with oxygen-boosting Myrtle Rose extract and Acerola cherry seed that can help revive the appearance of dull skin. This is the best serum for dry skin.

V Shaping Facial Lift Serum

Visibly defined facial contours are essential to youthful-looking skin. Over time, gravity along with exposure to UV rays and pollution take their toll on our skin - leading to slackening of the facial contours. V Shaping Facial Lift Serum is the latest skin care advancement when it comes to facial contouring!

Clarins Laboratories has identified the visible "lifting" power of Organic Agropyron, wheatgrass best known for its super-gripping action. V Shaping Facial Lift Serum is charged with Clarins' new Organic Agropyron plant innovation — along with guarana and oat sugars — to visibly lift and redefine your facial features. Hyaluronic acid aids the skin with intense hydration while zerumbet ginger extract and escin from horse chestnut can help to visibly refine and reduce the appearance of puffiness.

Super Restorative Remodelling Serum

Super Restorative Remodelling Serum is an intensive anti-aging skin serum with Narrow Leaf Plantain and Harungana extracts to visibly improve the appearance of skin-slackening, and to minimize the look of deep wrinkles and age spots for a more youthful-looking face.

Extra-Firming Phyto-Serum

Concerned about wrinkles and skin-slackening? Extra-Firming Phyto-Serum—with its smooth ultra-sensorial gel texture—is a breakthrough power serum that uses potent Kangaroo Flower and Mitracarpus extracts. These ingredients can help target wrinkles and skin slackening.

Hydra-Essentiel Bi-phase Serum

One of the quickest and most effective ways to get relief for dry skin is to use a skin serum. Hydra-Essentiel Bi-phase Serum delivers a refreshing, bi-phase action. It uses the super-hydrating power of Organic Leaf of Life extract and Beautyberry to help quench thirsty skin that’s tight, dehydrated and lacks radiance, and it is one of the best face serums for dry skin.

Pore Control Serum

Clarins' Pore Control Serum is a great face serum for oily skin. If you’re concerned about the appearance of enlarged pores, the Pore Control Serum works in three essential ways to minimize the appearance of pores—using firming vine flower and mattifying organic strawberry tree fruit extracts to visibly tighten enlarged, dilated pores. Tamarind pulp acid naturally exfoliates to help smooth and visibly refine your skin's texture for a boost of radiance.

At Clarins, you have your pick from our world-class face serum that will complement your skin moisturizer and give your skin that youthful glow.
