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: 

1. Hydration: Organic aloe vera extract + acetylated hyaluronic acid help keep skin moist and plump.
2. Nutrition: Organic horse chestnut flower extract + plant-based squalane help to nourish.
3. Protection: Teasel extract (organic plant) + vitamin E derivative help to protect against oxidative stress.
4. Oxygenation: Teasel extract (organic plant) + horse chestnut escin (organic plant) help boost radiance.
5. 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. 

All skin-true undertone-correct shades are available in the USA on www.clarins.com exclusively on April 15, 2026.

Retail price: $62
