About Clarins

Clarins is the family-owned French skincare and beauty house founded in 1954 by Jacques Courtin-Clarins in Paris. Best known for its plant-based, results-oriented skincare and signature double-serum, the Hydra-Essentiel line sits as the brand's hero hydration range, anchored by hyaluronic acid and organic plant extracts.

Key benefits

• Silky-textured day cream that absorbs into the skin without feeling heavy.
• Double hyaluronic acid complex for surface and deeper-layer hydration.
• Organic Kalanchoe extract — Clarins' signature hydration-supporting plant active.
• Up to plumper-looking skin in 60 seconds per the brand's marketing claim.
• Suitable for normal-to-dry skin.

Key ingredients

• Sodium hyaluronate (double hyaluronic acid): two molecular weights of hyaluronic acid for surface and deeper-layer water retention.
• Organic Kalanchoe pinnata leaf extract: Clarins' signature plant active for supporting the skin's natural hydration response.
• Squalane: a skin-identical lipid that helps reinforce the moisture barrier.
• Glycerin: humectant for daily hydration support.
• Vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate): antioxidant support against environmental stress.

Who it's for
