Clarins Introduces Double Serum Foundation

For decades, Clarins’ Double Serum has set the standard in skincare with its dual-phase formula and plant-powered science.

Today, the legacy brand is extending that expertise with its first hybrid serum foundation, designed to deliver both immediate makeup results and long-term skin benefits.

The 2-in-1 serum foundation features its Double Serum technology and a dual-chamber housing two-thirds makeup and one-third serum delivering 12 hours of medium to full, skin-perfecting coverage; a luminous finish; 24 hours of hydration; and long-term radiance on bare skin, per the brand.

Ingredient Profile

Double Serum Foundation is engineered for performance thanks to Augmenting Make-Up Radiance technology. The Advanced Ultra Radiance Amplifier is engineered to amplify light diffusion and reflection off the skin’s surface for an instant glow. It features a precise combination of natural ingredients selected for their light-refraction properties — including glycerin, squalane and illuminating microcrystals.

Stabilized papain is a 100% pure molecule, derived from papaya fruit, that transforms the skin. To help deliver lasting luminosity, this enzymatic exfoliator helps to create a “new skin effect” – boosting light reflection, gently refining and smoothing dull skin, to help light reflect more evenly and enhance long-term radiance on bare skin.

Clinically Proven Results

Double Serum Foundation delivers measurable results. In a clinical study, 58% showed a more radiant complexion immediately; 22% showed more glow in one hour; and three years of youthful radiance revived. After 28 days, consumers reported smoother, more refined skin and 52% reduction in visible wrinkles and pores.

Enriched with 87% skincare ingredients, the foundation is powered by nine plant extracts and five active molecules. At the heart of the formula is turmeric extract, the signature ingredient of Double Serum, known for supporting the skin’s five vital functions and helping maintain a youthful appearance.

Double Serum Foundation is also powered by regenerative Matryxl 3000 peptide, and Hyaluronic Acid for 24-hour hydration offering skincare efficacy like never before. Plus, organic strawberry tree fruit extract helps refine skin’s texture and minimize the appearance of pores, while vegetal squalane and organic aloe vera extract keeps skin hydrated. Clarins’ plant-based Anti-Pollution Complex protects against damage from outdoor and indoor environmental pollution, including skin-aging blue light.

Available in 37 shades and tested across a diverse panel, Double Serum Foundation retails for $62 on clarins.com.
