Lighter than a day cream but richer than an essence or 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 target 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 technology, Clarins' collection of serums concentrate the very best active ingredients and plant-powered formulas for a tailor-made 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.

Still not sure which serum is right for your skin? Pick the perfect serum for you with the Clarins Serum Finder.

You can start using a serum from the age of 20. Make sure to choose a serum formulated according to your skin's needs with the Clarins Serum Finder.

Clarins offers a serum tailored to each skin type. Designed for oily skin, Clarins Pore Control Serum visibly tightens dilated pores, improves uneven skin texture and revives radiance. If you have pigmentation issues (spots, discolouration, dark patches, dullness, redness), opt for Clarins Bright Plus Dark Spot-Targeting Treatment Essence, which creates a fresh, luminous glow and a brighter, smoother complexion. And finally, if your skin tends to feel dry and dehydrated, replenish moisture levels with Clarins Hydra-Essential Bi-Phase Serum for intensive thirst-quenching hydration!

Of course! Depending on your skin type and main skin concerns, you can combined serums, for example by applying one serum in the morning and another at night.

Serums can be worn alone, but it's recommended to apply your serum as a first step in your skincare routine, before following up with 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.

Except for serum dedicated to eyes, it's not recommended to apply it around the eye contour, as the skin around the undereyes is extremely thin and delicate. Clarins recommends applying a tailored undereye cream before following up with a serum and day cream + SPF.
