Over the years I have learned the importance of serums in a skin care regimen. Serums have a smaller molecule, and can therefore penetrate lower layers of the skin, unlike creams and lotions. So, even in search of the perfect “fountain of youth” serum, I keep trying new ones. One serum that I just finished using (sadly) is Clarins Double Serum® Complete Age Control Concentrate. Here are the details about Double Serum® Complete Age Control Concentrate: What it is: A two-in-one groundbreaking serum featuring two age-defying formulas for youthful-looking skin. What it is formulated to do: Powered by 20 pure plant extracts and potent, high-tech molecules, Clarins award-winning bestseller combines two age-defying formulas into one groundbreaking serum that supports skin’s natural, vital functions. In as little as four weeks, you’ll see firmer skin, reduced appearance of wrinkles, a more even skintone, and less visible pores. My results: I never thought I would see my pores diminish before my very eyes, but using Clarins Double Serum, I have had a reduction in the appearance of the size of my pores. And I’m sooo happy. My skin look smooth and clear from the distraction of those pesky “holes.” I have also noticed that my skin is extremely firm and that’s my major concern as I age. Additionally, when I wear this serum under my moisturizer and makeup, I find that my skin stays “moist” longer and my makeup looks fresh and I need to wear less of it. I had some very light, yet noticeable (to me) lines in my forehead before using Clarins Double Serum, and they too are much less noticeable and practically imperceptible. A huge plus is that with day and night use, my 1 oz. bottle of Clarins Double Serum® Complete Age Control Concentrate lasted for two months – that’s a true value for such a luxury serum.
