Skin feeling the sudden change in season? Along with shorter days and cooler temperatures, the slow crawl towards winter usually means that your summer glow has been replaced with dull, dry skin overnight.
The best way to combat a dreary complexion is by adding a supercharged serum into your routine. A serum is fantastic for targeting specific concerns and treating your skin with active ingredients far more effectively than your other skincare products.
As a beauty editor, there are few editor-approved serums that I always recommend for reviving lacklustre skin – Clarins Double Serum is one of them. This bio-inspired, anti-aging serum contains a cocktail of twenty high performance plant extracts, including anti-inflammatory powerhouse turmeric extract, to target the visible signs of ageing. After just a few uses you can expect a more bouncy, healthy-looking complexion.
However, if you have an oily or combination skin type, it can be next to impossible to find a radiance-boosting formula with a texture that isn’t too heavy for your complexion.
Enter: Clarins Double Serum Light.

Clarins has reinvented its bestselling formula to create Double Serum Light, a much lighter serum that works for all skin types, including oily and combination skin. What’s the difference between Double Serum and Double Serum Light? Well, not a lot, but that’s a good thing. You’ll get the same benefits of the original formula – a firm, bright, more nourished complexion – but with a fast-absorbing, lightweight finish.

Double Serum Light is still packed with the same potent ingredients that target fine lines, wrinkles and an uneven skin tone, but with a barely-there texture. Ingredients like turmeric extract makes this serum a saviour for sensitive skin types looking to calm an irritated complexion during the colder months. Even those with dry or balanced skin types who live in a humid climate could benefit from switching to the new lighter version throughout the summer months.
If you’re already a fan of the original Double Serum, you can maximise the benefits of both formulas. Wear Double Serum Light in the morning for a sheer finish that sits seamlessly under makeup and apply Double Serum in the evening for a rich texture that’ll have you glowing in the morning.
