For over 60 years, Clarins Research has been developing innovative anti-ageing skincare for every type of skin. As experts in plant sciences, our researchers are on a mission to find new and even more effective ingredients to help prevent and diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Our expert beauty routines show you how to maximise the effectiveness of our products by sharing our professional application methods. Enhancing your everyday beauty by caring for your face day and night — that’s our philosophy.
Which active anti-ageing ingredients are plant extracts?
We identify natural, active ingredients for their antioxidative, hydrating, and plumping effects on the skin. We extract anti-ageing properties from plants such as Alpine Rose, Aloe Vera, Turmeric, Poppy, and Baobab. These anti-ageing plant extracts can be found in our anti-ageing creams, targeted serums, and wrinkle control eye creams.
Which anti-ageing cream is best for targeting the first signs of wrinkles and fine lines?
For over 30 years, our Multi-Active Day Cream has been the first step into anti-ageing products for many women. A powerful concoction of natural origin ingredients with a soothing, hydrating texture, this next-generation cream uses Organic Teasel extract to expertly smooth the first signs of wrinkles and boost the skin’s natural radiance. Use every morning to keep skin hydrated, revitalised, and youthful-looking, then follow up with Multi-Active Night Cream each evening. For even better results, apply Double Serum before each application, allowing it to soak into your skin for a few moments before following up with moisturiser.
What is the best anti-ageing cream for your 40s?
The instant smoothing effect of our Extra-Firming Day Cream is perfect for minimising wrinkles and fine lines in your 40s. Used daily, this anti-wrinkle cream helps maintain youthfulness by visibly plumping and firming the skin with Kangaroo Flower extract. Its silky texture melts effortlessly into your complexion, immediately increasing radiance and making facial contours appear more sculpted. For the ultimate anti-ageing skincare routine, use Double Serum alongside the Extra-Firming Day Cream and Total Eye Smooth every morning and with Extra-Firming Night Cream at night.
What is the best product for visibly reducing signs of ageing at every age?
Our anti-ageing concentrate Clarins Double Serum helps stimulate the five vital functions: hydration, nutrition, oxygenation, regeneration and protection; thanks to its hydrolipidic and biomimetic texture. Containing ones of the most powerful anti-ageing plant extracts — including Leaf of Life which promotes the synthesis of hyaluronic acid and Quinoa to help strengthen the skin’s barrier — our best-selling, anti-wrinkle serum leaves skin radiant and toned. For visibly younger-looking skin, Double Serum is formulated to include all of Clarins’ most recent plant discoveries for an optimal, targeted impact on the skin.
What is the best cream for sculpting and replenishing skin after the age of 50?
For slightly more demanding skin in your 50s, we recommend Clarins’ intensively replenishing, anti-ageing Super Restorative Day Cream. Enriched with Organic Harungana extract from the ’healing’ tree in Madagascar, this anti-wrinkle cream replenishes at all levels, leaving skin brighter-looking, smoother, and more radiant. For skin that’s visibly replenished and lifted, apply the cream every morning after Clarins Super Restorative Remodeling Serum.
How can I restore luminosity and radiance to mature skin?
Our Nutri-Lumière Day Cream is perfect for nourishing and brightening fragile, more mature skin. Clarins Laboratories has developed two active ingredients — Organic Horse Chestnut Flower extract and Horse Chestnut Ecsin — recognise for their action on the micro-nutrient network. With a sensorial, melting texture, this invigorating day cream helps to promote radiance and luminosity in dull, undernourished skin.
What is the most effective anti-ageing skincare routine?
For youthful-looking and supple skin, use an anti-ageing day cream, night cream, and eye cream every day. At Clarins, we have anti-wrinkle creams specifically formulated for every skin type (normal, oily, combination, dry, and very dry) and for each age group. To help your products work more effectively, use a face scrub once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells. And when you need a more intensely targeted skincara, treat your skin to a face mask. Our extensive line of expertly crafted anti-ageing products will restore suppleness, firmness, even tone, and gorgeous radiance to your skin.
At what age should you start your skincare routine?
There is no time limit as to when somebody should or shouldn’t start a skincare routine. Depending on your age, you’ll want to choose skincare products that target your main skin concerns, such as lack of tone, dark spots and fine lines. Whatever your age or skin type, ensuring your skin remains fully hydrated is essential to preserving its beauty and youth.
How should I hydrate my skin?
First of all, it’s important to know that all skin types, whether dry skin or oily skin, can become dehydrated. Skin hydration is dependent on a number of factors. Diet, lifestyle and pollution can all cause skin to lose water through the epidermis, a process known as transepidermal water loss. To prevent water loss, it’s important to drink enough water and apply a moisturiser that’s suitable for your skin type. Products enriched with hydrating and moisturising ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid and shea butter, can help to keep skin hydrated all day long. Available in the following different textures: all skin types, normal to dry, very dry, normal to combination and normal to dry SPF. Clarins’ Hydra Essentiel collection delivers optimal hydration from day to night.
