Clarins continues to redefine the boundaries between skincare and makeup with the launch of the new Double Serum Foundation, a hybrid formula designed to deliver both immediate radiance and long-term skin benefits.
Inspired by the iconic Double Serum, which has shaped the world of skincare for more than four decades, this new foundation brings the brand’s signature dual-phase technology into makeup. The result is a product that combines performance, innovation and skincare expertise in a single formula.
A Hybrid Formula That Combines Skincare and Makeup
At the heart of the Double Serum Foundation lies a next-generation hybrid system that merges foundation and serum into one product. The formula is composed of two distinct phases that are kept separate until the moment of application through a dual-chamber packaging system.
Two thirds of the formula provide buildable coverage and a luminous finish, while one third functions as a skincare serum designed to improve the skin over time. This balance allows the product to deliver both visible makeup results and ongoing skin benefits.
The formula offers medium-to-high buildable coverage with a lightweight, breathable texture that leaves the skin comfortable for up to 12 hours.
Dual Radiance Technology
The innovation behind the Double Serum Foundation focuses on what Clarins identifies as a key factor in youthful skin: radiance.
The first layer of radiance is immediate. Clarins’ proprietary A.U.R.A. technology (Advanced Ultra Radiance Amplifier) enhances light diffusion and reflection on the skin through micro-crystalline elements that create a multidimensional glow.
The second layer works over time. Stabilized papain, derived from papaya, acts as a gentle enzymatic exfoliant that helps renew the skin’s surface, smooth texture and improve natural luminosity.
According to consumer tests, women observed visibly brighter skin after four weeks of use.
Powerful Botanical and Scientific Ingredients
The formula combines plant extracts and advanced skincare molecules to support the skin’s essential functions.
Among the key ingredients is turmeric extract, a core component of the original Double Serum, known for supporting cellular communication within the skin. Additional botanical extracts and active molecules help hydrate, nourish, protect and strengthen the skin barrier.
In total, the formula contains 14 active ingredients, including nine plant extracts and five powerful skincare molecules.
Designed for All Skin Types
The Double Serum Foundation is designed to adapt to different skin tones and types, offering natural-looking coverage and a satin-radiant finish.
Women reported visibly smoother skin and reduced appearance of pores and wrinkles, while maintaining a fresh and luminous complexion throughout the day.
Innovation with Sustainability in Mind
Clarins has also focused on sustainability in the design of the product. The bottle is made with more than 90% recyclable materials and contains at least 38% recycled content.
The formula itself includes 85% ingredients of natural origin and several organically sourced plant extracts.
Consumers can also trace the origin of ingredients and production steps through the Clarins T.R.U.S.T. blockchain-based transparency platform.
A New Standard for Hybrid Beauty
By merging makeup with advanced skincare technology, the Double Serum Foundation represents a new generation of hybrid beauty products.
With its dual-phase formula, botanical expertise and radiance-enhancing technology, Clarins introduces a foundation designed not only to perfect the complexion instantly, but also to improve the skin over time.
