Any questions?
Let our experts answer them
Why should I use a day cream or face moisturiser?
A day cream helps protect your skin from environmental pollutants, reduces transepidermal water loss, and improves skin tone and texture. It acts as a barrier against stress, sun damage, and pollution that can cause premature ageing.
How often should I apply my day cream?
Most skin types benefit from moisturising twice daily, once in the morning with a day cream and once at night with a night cream. In cold or dry climates, you may need to apply more frequently if your skin feels tight.
Should I choose a day cream with SPF?
Yes, it is recommended to choose a day cream with SPF15 at least, and you should apply it even on cloudy days as sun damage can occur regardless of visible sunshine. Some face moisturisers also contain an Anti-Pollution Complex for added protection.
Does my skin type affect which moisturiser texture I should use?
Yes, oily skin types benefit from lightweight gel formulas, while dry skin types suit richer cream textures. In warmer months, a lighter moisturiser like Hydra-Essentiel Gel Cream or Extra-Firming Emulsion is generally sufficient, while cooler months may call for a richer formula.
Should I use a serum before my day cream?
Yes. A serum can be applied before your day cream as part of your skincare routine. Choose a Clarins serum based on your specific skincare concern like Double Serum or Hydra-Essentiel Bi-Phase Serum , then apply your day cream to moisturise and help maintain skin comfort throughout the day.
What is the difference between a day cream and a night cream?
A day cream is designed for use during the day and focuses on moisturising, comforting, and protecting the skin from daily environmental factors. A night cream is designed for the evening and supports the skin's overnight care routine.
