Lighter than a day cream but richer than an essence or hydrating skin mist, serums are usually formulated with a high concentration of active ingredients, such as vitamin C derivative or hyaluronic acid. When it comes to formulation, serums are usually designed to treat a specific skincare concern, such as dry skin, dark spots or redness.

Bursting with active ingredients, a serum is the essential first step in any beauty routine. Combining the power of plants and science, Clarins' collection of serums concentrate the very best active ingredients and plant-powered formulas for a tailored solution to all your skin’s needs. Thanks to their light yet rich texture, Clarins' serums are quickly and easily absorbed, leaving skin primed and ready for the rest of your skincare routine.

Serums can be worn alone, but we recommend applying your serum as a first step in your skincare routine, before a day cream and SPF for maximum protection from pollution and UV rays. Serums can also be used at night, after cleansing and before applying your night cream.
