About Clarins Double Serum Light Texture

Clarins’ widely popular Double Serum is now available in a light, imperceptible texture.

An intensive anti-ageing serum, the Clarins Double Serum Light Texture features 21 powerful plant extracts, including star ingredient powerful Turmeric extract, that act on the signs of ageing and aid in boosting the five vital functions of the skin (regeneration, nutrition, oxygenation, hydration, and protection).

The serum’s dual formula, based on water (hydric, 61%) and oil (lipids, 39%), is housed separately within one bottle and formulated in an intentional golden ratio to provide the perfect bio-affinity with skin.

The reformulated lipidic phase is made with a trio of super lightweight, yet ultra-powerful molecules to deliver key ingredients to the skin without leaving a greasy residue.

Designed to preserve the skin’s youth and beauty, this serum leaves a “barely there” finish that’s suitable for both men and women, especially those with oily to combination skin.

Known for its global age-defying capabilities that allow for visible results in just seven days, the Clarins Double Serum Light Texture smoothes wrinkles, improves skin’s firmness, delivers a more radiant complexion, and reduces the appearance of pores.

It also makes for a relaxing skincare step, with a sensorial fragrance of fruity, floral, fresh, and refined notes!

clarins double serum light texture reviews

Initially, I was worried the Clarins Double Serum Light Texture would be oily as I prefer more watery serum textures. My skin doesn’t react well to facial oils in general. However, it was very gentle on my skin and didn’t cause any irritation.

My skin tends to have red patches after cleansing, but this serum does the job of calming and soothing my skin. It absorbs into my skin so quickly and works well with products that I use it both day and night too. I felt an instant burst of hydration and my skin feels so refreshed after every use.

Though I can’t completely say it smoothens my eye wrinkles, my smile lines were reduced, and the area around my eyes was plumped up in three days. And in five days, I noticed my pores were smaller, hyperpigmentation was reduced, and my skin tone was more even.

I also didn’t experience any breakouts and it didn’t clog my pores but rather managed to heal my skin barrier when I had a retinol burn a week before I started to use this Clarins serum.

I will continue to use this serum consistently in my routine as it not only hydrates and plumps my skin, it is way better than other serums I have used before. I was impressed at how my skin felt just after one use.

The application and pressure-draining steps also made my skincare routine more enjoyable! Incorporating mini massages on my face was kind of therapeutic after a long day.

The Clarins Double Serum Light Texture is perfect for day and night use and does not cause any skin irritation.

I have layered it with other vitamin-enriched creams and moisturisers and there seem to be no adverse effects. In fact, it actually facilitates an easier application of makeup after and surprisingly doesn’t interfere with any sunscreens I have used.

I don’t really have many wrinkles but my overall complexion has definitely improved with smaller pores in five days. My skin also doesn’t look patchy as I don’t experience dry flakes around my nose area anymore.

After four days, the crow’s feet around my eyes started to reduce. Around the sixth day, my pimple scars were faint and visibly reduced.

The design and packaging of the serum were impressive too — I was able to tailor the amount of serum to be dispensed to meet my different hydration needs for the day and night. The bottle’s very durable as well, considering how I dropped it twice but there was no breakage.

My experience has been delightful so far. I have incorporated this serum into my current skincare and makeup regime and am enjoying how it feels for me daily. I will definitely repurchase, continue to use this, and see how it works in one month’s time.

Skin concerns: Textured skin, oily skin, and visible or enlarged pores

I like the overall experience of the Clarins Double Serum Light Texture. It felt luxurious, from the bottle to the texture of the serum. I especially like that the bottle was innovative and may recommend it to friends.

The serum’s scent made my skincare routine very pleasant. Although the serum was double-textured, there was no hassle in mixing or applying them.

I like how my skin feels after using it. The serum seems more potent as it kept my skin hydrated and moisturised even throughout the night in an air-conditioned environment.

I like how fast the serum gets absorbed into my skin and looked forward to using the serum again after using it for the first time. After three days, I noticed how my skin tone was more even with reduced hyperpigmentation.

I will definitely continue to use the Clarins Double Serum Light Texture! In just three days, my skin tone was more even and my fine lines were visibly reduced. It feels very lightweight and I love the scent so much that it makes me want to apply it every day.

When I saw the packaging, I felt that it looked aesthetically pleasing and luxurious. I like how the cap allows me to choose the volume of the pumps, providing good control. However, when I pumped out the serum, I was surprised by its watery texture. I always had the perception that anti-ageing products are usually oily, thick, and can clog the pores easily.

I was surprised at how quickly it absorbed into my skin, leaving it supple, hydrated, and with a smooth texture. I also felt like I was doing a facial at a spa because of how the serum’s pleasant scent lifted my mood instantly.

I used to have dry patches near my jawline area for months and I tried changing up products but nothing worked. Now, I don’t feel any dryness on my jawline; my skin’s really hydrated and my neck feels smoother with lesser bumps too.

I have tried anti-ageing products before, and they left my T-zone even oilier and caused breakouts. However, Clarins’ anti-ageing serum doesn’t make my skin break out. Although it’s very gentle, the serum provides enough hydration for my skin which lasted the whole day.

Plus, applying the serum with the pressure-draining steps felt like a mini face massage which left my facial muscles more relaxed than before.

Skin concerns: Textured skin and visible or enlarged pores

I have not really used anti-ageing serums before this, but I would say that the Clarins Double Serum Light Texture has been a revelation in how it leaves my skin feeling rejuvenated and me younger looking!

It’s light on the skin and absorbs quickly, which makes it perfect for humid Singapore. It leaves my skin feeling dew-like and nourished after every use, and I hope it will help with my enlarged pores after continued and consistent use.

After four days, I noticed a reduction in the size of my pores as well as visibly reduced crow’s feet, fine lines, and wrinkles.

I will continue to use it over a few more months to see how it will help my complexion, but as of now, I will recommend it to friends and family looking for a quality anti-ageing serum.

clarins double serum light texture reviews

I didn’t expect much upon first impression, but after the first try, I was amazed by the light texture and how easily it absorbs into the skin.

This serum felt so light on my skin that I feel like my skin was bare without any products on it. It’s really gentle on my skin and left it bright and radiant.

After the first use, I noticed a reduction in the size of my pores. As soon as the second day of using this serum, my skin tone was more even with reduced hyperpigmentation. And after four days, my crow’s feet, fine lines, and wrinkles were visibly reduced.

I work long hours and by the end of work, I was shocked that it didn’t leave my face oily and shiny, unlike the previous serum that I was using.

I will definitely be using this serum from now on as I have sensitive skin that reacts easily to skincare products and the Clarins Double Serum Light Texture has the lightest texture I have used thus far.

Skin type: Dry and sensitive
Skin concerns: Textured skin, dull skin, uneven skin tone, and sensitive skin

The Clarins Double Serum Light Texture feels luxurious from the packaging. The product is much lighter than other serums I’ve used and the formulation shows — Clarins has done lots of testing to understand what works.

The serum’s also gentle, smells all-natural, and I like how we can see the liquid and oil separately before being mixed together. It’s calming to use at night and fresh in the mornings thanks to the lovely scent.

After five days to a week, my skin tone does look more even. I really like it — it’s easy to include in my daily routine but is way too expensive for me to use sustainably.

Gwen, 34

Skin type: Combination-oily
Skin concerns: Uneven skin tone, oily skin, and visible or enlarged pores

This serum has attractive packaging and I was impressed with how light it is on the skin upon application.

I feel rejuvenated with Clarins’ pressure-draining steps when applying the serum and always looked forward to using it again.

Compared to other serums or anti-ageing serums, the Clarins Double Serum Light Texture absorbs well and fast into my skin without feeling sticky.

In three days, I noticed a reduction in the size of my pores. After seven days, I saw reduced hyperpigmentation with a more even skin tone and visibly reduced Crow’s feet, fine lines, and wrinkles.

I like how my skin feels after using it — my skin feels more hydrated and isn’t overwhelmed either — and will continue to use it. It’s also perfect for the warm weather in Singapore and makes my skin smoother and more youthful than before.

The Clarins Double Serum Light Texture might be the best anti ageing serum on the market today. I only used it for seven days yet I already see and feel a great change on my skin (even my hubby noticed it)!

I don’t have Crow’s feet, fine lines, or wrinkles, but after five days my pores were smaller and I noticed reduced hyperpigmentation with a more even skin tone.

clarins double serum light texture reviews

I’ve never used an anti-ageing serum before, but this Clarins serum is the best serum that I’ve tried because it’s non-sticky and non-greasy, has plant extracts, is gentle on my skin, is suitable also for men (sharing it with my hubby), and it works well with my other beauty products.

I’ve never been this excited about using a product before! It has a very relaxing “spa vibe” scent, leaves me with a dewy look, and is a good investment in my skin.

I also love the minimalist yet elegant and sophisticated bottle design — it’s super easy to use and the amount dispensed is just right!

I’m a fan! I feel that my skin is healthier, well-hydrated, and I feel younger! The serum is truly effective for me and is one that’s worth every penny!

Skin concerns: Fine lines, wrinkles, Crow’s feet, textured skin, sensitive skin, visible or enlarged pores, and blackheads or whiteheads

clarins double serum light texture reviews

I have a combination skin, so anything even slightly thick could clog my pores. The Clarins Double Serum Light Texture was extremely lightweight and easy to absorb. It did not create any clogging or acne.

I had just recovered from a skin rash and this serum has not caused any skin issues. I could easily go about using this twice a day.

The retinol serum I was using previously didn’t help to address my skin concerns. However, with this Clarins serum, my pores were slightly shrunk in four to five days. My skin also felt slightly more radiant after continuous use.

After a week, I could see subtle changes in my hyperpigmentation, my eyes were more hydrated, and my fine lines and wrinkles were visibly reduced too.

I love that it has all the anti-ageing benefits with a light serum consistency that suits my skin. It leaves my skin well hydrated with a good moisturiser. Plus, the packaging is aesthetically pleasing and the ability to adjust the amount is out of the world.

Overall, it’s a very short period to list down major changes as any product needs at least one to two months to show drastic improvements. I will continue to use this for a longer time and would love to repurchase if I see drastic anti-ageing benefits.
