Dr. Olivier Courtin-Clarins, managing director of the Clarins Group, had always been convinced that the skin’s healing process was closely linked to a patient’s lifestyle. This led him to look at factors such as diet, health and exercise, which affect our skin and aging. During five years of research, and by observing more than 30 pairs of homozygous female twins, the Clarins team discovered how epigenetics plays a key role in regulating gene activity and how this could apply to the field of beauty on a cellular level.

And that’s how Clarins came to reformulate its cult Double Serum for this new launch—its ninth and most advanced version to date. Through its cutting-edge Epi-ageing Defense Technology, it targets signs of aging caused by lifestyle and environmental factors. Inspired by nature, the serum includes an ingredient never used before in cosmetics: the giant Provençal reed. Resilient and with powerful properties, the extract from this plant helps neutralize 100 percent of epigenetic modification linked to lifestyle, thereby improving the skin’s resistance to environmental aggressors and visible signs of aging. Along with stimulating the skin’s five vital functions (regeneration, oxygenation, nutrition, hydration and protection), the serum includes 22 essential plant extracts, including the iconic turmeric, as well as five new pure active molecules to make it even more effective. By combining science and nature—and in fresh, newly designed packaging to boot—Clarins has managed to literally bottle the future of skincare.
