Double Serum heritage at the service of innovative foundation

Since its creation, Double Serum has completely changed the anti-aging skincare game at Clarins. With a pioneering dual-formula serum that has become iconic over nine generations, it embodies Clarins Research’s spirit of constant innovation and ability to continually push the boundaries of science.
It is this unique expertise, the result of four decades of research and formulatory prowess, that has now inspired a new expression of Clarins innovation: Double Serum Foundation.

Double innovation: makeup and skincare

Through an exclusive typological study, Clarins Research Laboratories have identified the key component of a youthful complexion: radiance. They’ve highlighted that, with age, skin loses up to 40% of its radiance once you turn 60, while younger-looking faces display 30.4% more radiance*.

*Clarins typological study conducted on more than 100 women.

As a response, they have developed the exclusive A.U.R.A. – Advanced Ultra Radiance Amplifier – technology, which notably incorporates reflective microcrystals. This intensifies light diffusion and reflection to create multidirectional shine for immediate results.

22%-increased radiance immediately after application*

The Laboratories combine this with stabilized papain, a pure molecule that naturally boosts radiance. This gentle enzymatic exfoliant accelerates cell renewal and helps create a renewed-skin effect. Light reflection and radiance are enhanced, leaving the complexion visibly brighter and younger-looking. The unprecedented result is clinically proven to restore 3 years of youthful radiance in 28 days**. Bare skin also appears brighter***.

*Self-assessment by 52 women (comparison of instant radiance perceived with and without A.U.R.A. technology)

**Clinical test, 33 women, results on skin with makeup after 28 days, based on the evaluation of 7 parameters (skincare + makeup).

***Consumer test, 213 women, after 28 days.

Dual formula: makeup performance meets the power of skincare

40 years of expertise in dual-phase technology, 25 Clarins experts, 212 trials, and 135 raw materials tested have led to the creation of Double Serum Foundation. This dual formula incorporates unique [Color + Hydric] technology for adjustable coverage with a lightweight, fluid, non-greasy texture that allows the skin to breathe.

The Color phase combines A.U.R.A. technology, turmeric extract—the signature Double Serum active ingredient—biomimetic peptides, known for their anti-aging properties and radiance-boosting effect, and perfecting pigments. The Hydric phase incorporates stabilized papain alongside a unique selection of plant extracts and active molecules. These two skincare ingredients, stabilized papain and peptides, were previously incompatible.

Double Serum Foundation contains no less than 14 powerful active ingredients—9 plant extracts and 5 active molecules—distributed across two phases to support the 5 vital functions—hydration, nutrition, protection, oxygenation, and regeneration—and to protect against pollution. A first for a foundation!

Exclusive double bottle technology

Thanks to the double bottle, the two phases [Color + Hydric] only mix upon application, preserving the integrity of the active ingredients and ensuring maximum effectiveness. A dial system allows for customized measuring: coverage can be adjusted to suit your needs—from light to more intense—while limiting overconsumption.

Double performance

After application, women notice a 58%* brighter complexion. Their skin appears 52%* smoother, with fewer visible wrinkles and pores, their complexion remains flawless from morning to night**, and their skin stays hydrated for 24 hours***.

After 28 days*, women noticed a 54% increase in radiance and a 35% reduction in the appearance of signs of aging.

*Self-assessment, results perceived by 213 women

**Consumer test, 213 women, 12 hours
