Clarins Double Serum Foundation - D3w

The primary benefit is its dual action: it provides immediate cosmetic coverage with a luminous finish while delivering long-term skincare benefits like improved smoothness, hydration, and reduced signs of aging, thanks to its serum-infused formula.

The foundation features a unique dial. Turn the dial to adjust the amount of product dispensed, allowing you to achieve anything from a medium to a full, buildable coverage.

The foundation is enriched with active ingredients and is designed to be age-defying. While generally well-tolerated, it is always recommended to perform a patch test if you have particularly sensitive skin, especially considering the active ingredients.

This foundation integrates serum benefits directly into the makeup. This streamlines your routine and ensures the skincare actives are applied consistently with your foundation, potentially enhancing their efficacy when used together with other Double Serum products.

Key ingredients include stabilized papaya extract to restore glow, hyaluronic acid for deep hydration, and peptides to boost collagen production. It is enriched with a total of 14 active ingredients.

The Clarins Double Serum Foundation is available in 37 different shades to accommodate a wide range of skin tones.

While the foundation provides benefits on its own, the brand suggests that for optimal results, particularly regarding firmness and wrinkle reduction, it is recommended to use it after applying Clarins Double Serum and moisturizer.

Ensure skin is adequately prepped and moisturized. Use a clean application tool (brush or sponge) and blend thoroughly, starting from the center of the face and working outwards. Adjust the dial to a slightly lower setting if too much product is being dispensed.

Try applying a smaller amount of product at a time. Ensure your application tools are clean and damp (for sponges). Allow moisturizer to fully absorb before applying foundation.

Allow the foundation a few minutes to set on the skin, as the color can sometimes oxidize slightly. Test shades in natural daylight if possible. If still incorrect, consult the brand's shade finder or select a different shade.

Increase the hydration of your pre-application skincare routine. Ensure you are using the dial to dispense an appropriate amount of product, and consider using a lower setting for lighter coverage. For very dry skin, try mixing a drop of your regular serum into the foundation before application.
