Clarins Unveils Double Serum Foundation: A Revolutionary Fusion of Skincare And Makeup
NEW YORK, April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Inspired by our worldwide bestselling Double Serum, Clarins laboratories introduce Double Serum Foundation, a revolutionary complexion innovation. This next generation skincare-rich foundation is developed with the same expertise as our high-performance skincare.
A Hybrid That Does More: Instant Results, Long-Term Skin Benefits
For decades, Double Serum has set the standard in skincare with its dual-phase formula and plant-powered science. Today, Clarins extends that expertise with its first hybrid serum foundation, designed to deliver both immediate make-up results and long-term skin benefits.
This revolutionary 2-in-1 serum foundation features our Double Serum technology, a dual-chamber housing 2/3 makeup + 1/3 serum, delivering 12 hours of medium to full, skin-perfecting coverage¹, a luminous finish, 24 hours of hydration² and long-term radiance on bare skin. Double Serum Foundation is not simply a blend of foundation and serum—it's a true hybrid engineered for performance thanks to 2 key innovations:
A.U.R.A Technology: Augmenting Make-Up Radiance
Clarins proprietary technology - The Advanced Ultra Radiance Amplifier is a breakthrough make-up innovation* engineered to amplify light diffusion and reflection off the skin's surface for an instant glow. It features a precise combination of natural ingredients selected for their light-refraction properties — including glycerin, squalane, and illuminating microcrystals.
Stabilized Papain: Bringing Out Skin's Best Glow
Stabilized papain is a 100% pure molecule, derived from papaya fruit, that transforms the skin. To help deliver lasting luminosity, this gentle enzymatic exfoliator helps to create a "new skin effect" - boosting light reflection, gently refining and smoothing dull skin, to help light reflect more evenly and enhance long-term radiance on bare skin.
Clinically Proven Results That Go Beyond Makeup
Double Serum Foundation delivers measurable results that reflect Clarins' skincare heritage:
- +58% more radiant complexion immediately³
- +22% more glow in just 1 hour³
- 3 years of youthful radiance revived (clinical test)
AFTER 28 DAYS:
- Bare skin is glowy +54%⁴
Consumers also reported smoother, more refined skin (-52% visible wrinkles and pores).
Plant-Powered Formula, True To Clarins DNA
Enriched with 87% skincare ingredients, this breakthrough foundation is powered by 9 plant extracts and 5 active molecules. At the heart of the formula is turmeric extract, the signature ingredient of Double Serum, known for supporting the skin's five vital functions and helping maintain a youthful appearance.
Power pairings
Along with Turmeric these 5 plant/molecule duos are each dedicated to help support the skin's five vital functions:
- Hydration: Organic aloe vera extract + acetylated hyaluronic acid help keep skin moist and plump.
- Nutrition: Organic horse chestnut flower extract + plant-based squalane help to nourish.
- Protection: Teasel extract (organic plant) + vitamin E derivative help to protect against oxidative stress.
- Oxygenation: Teasel extract (organic plant) + horse chestnut escin (organic plant) help boost radiance.
- Regeneration: Organic green banana extract + peptides help to visibly firm and gently refine skin texture.
Double Serum Foundation is also powered by regenerative Matryxl 3000 peptide, and Hyaluronic Acid for 24-hour hydration,1 offering skincare efficacy like never before. ** Plus Organic Strawberry Tree Fruit extract* helps refine skin's texture and minimize the appearance of pores, while Vegetal Squalane and Organic Aloe Vera extract* keep skin hydrated. Clarins' plant-based Anti-Pollution Complex protects against damage from outdoor and indoor environmental pollution, including skin-aging blue light from electronics.
The exclusive dual-chamber system preserves ingredient potency and ensures optimal efficacy upon application.
Designed For Every Skin, Every Shade
Available in 37 shades and tested across a diverse panel, Double Serum Foundation delivers a precise match for all skin tones and types. Its buildable, medium-to-full coverage provides a luminous, skin-like finish that enhances without masking.
The dual-chamber bottle features a customizable dial, allowing users to tailor dosage and coverage to their individual needs.
