Face serum

Finding your perfect Clarins serum starts with identifying your primary skin concerns. Consider what your skin needs most: anti-aging benefits, intense hydration, nourishment and repair, or texture refinement. Our serums are formulated to address specific concerns while providing multiple benefits. Look for hydrating formulas with hyaluronic acid if moisture is your priority, or opt for anti-aging concentrates rich in plant extracts if you're concerned about fine lines and loss of firmness. For enlarged pores and uneven texture, choose a serum with refining properties.

While Clarins serums can benefit skin at any age, certain formulas are particularly effective for specific age-related concerns. In your 20s and early 30s, focus on hydration and prevention with lightweight, hydrating formulas to maintain moisture balance and protect skin from environmental stressors. For those in their 30s and 40s, comprehensive anti-aging serums offer multiple benefits, targeting the first signs of aging and enhancing skin's natural functions. As skin matures in your 50s and beyond, richer, more nourishing serums provide intensive care and repair, helping to strengthen the skin's barrier function while delivering powerful anti-aging benefits. Remember that skincare needs are determined not only by age but also by lifestyle, environment, and individual skin condition.

Yes, vitamin C is a powerful anti-aging ingredient found in many Clarins serum formulations. This potent antioxidant helps protect skin from environmental damage, boosts collagen production, and diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamin C also helps brighten the complexion, fade hyperpigmentation, and even out skin tone for a more youthful appearance. Clarins combines vitamin C with other plant-based active ingredients to enhance its effectiveness while ensuring the formulas remain gentle on the skin. For comprehensive anti-aging benefits, we recommend layering a vitamin C-enriched serum under your daily moisturizer and sunscreen to maximize protection against premature aging.

For optimal results with your Clarins serum, always apply to clean, toned skin before your moisturizer. Take a moment to warm the product between your palms—this activates the ingredients and prepares them for maximum efficacy. Using the Clarins Application Method, gently press the serum into your face and neck with open hands, working from the center outward. Never drag or pull the skin. Pay attention to each product's specific instructions—some formulas may require shaking before use, while others have unique dispensing systems for the perfect dose. Allow your serum to fully absorb before applying moisturizer to maximize benefits. For enhanced results, incorporate Clarins' pressure point massage techniques during application to stimulate circulation and boost product absorption.

Clarins serums can be used both morning and evening, though specific formulas may be more beneficial at certain times. Many anti-aging serums are perfect for twice-daily use, providing continuous protection and repair. Hydrating formulas work wonderfully in the morning to prepare skin for the day ahead, while richer, repairing serums may be ideal for nighttime application when skin naturally enters repair mode. Some serums offer immediate effects like pore minimizing or radiance boosting, making them perfect before makeup application. Always apply serums to freshly cleansed and toned skin, and remember that layering multiple serums is possible—simply start with the lightest texture and progress to the richest.
