The Clarins Hydra-Essential range targets the dehydration factor linked to our modern lifestyle caused by the sudden changes in temperature and humidity we are exposed to. Rich in fatty acids, the serum not only nourishes, soothes and hydrates but also helps to refine skin’s texture and control sebum production. The key ingredient in this lightweight serum is the leaf of life, which contains “sponge molecules” that are able to trap 95 per cent of water to maintain sufficient hydration, as well as fatty acids on the surface of its leaves that form a barrier to prevent water loss.

With a lightweight, sorbet-like texture, this melts quickly into the skin to keep it hydrated and also gives a cooling effect upon application. This is saturated with a host of active ingredients such as wild pansy extract, Japanese lily-of-the-valley extract, and white lotus active plant essence.

This bi-phase serum is packed with moisturising ingredients to help repair dry, damaged skin and provide deep, long-lasting hydration. The powerful formula has an oil and water layer that work separately to supply the skin with instant and continuous moisture so it stays supple all day.

Infused with the brand’s Hydro Ion Mineral Water, this penetrates deeply and repair skin damage. Extracts of betaine-rich tillandsia, hydrating quinoa seed and smoothing olive oil provdies immediate moisture for soft, supple skin.

The hyaluronic acid molecules in this serum have different molecular weights to hydrate skin on the surface and help restore plumpness. It is enriched with antioxidant boosting iris extract and natural-origin ingredients to ensure skin is radiant and healthy-looking.

This moisturising and nourishing serum contains Jeju fresh green tea and green tea seeds, which are rich in amino acids and minerals to treat and hydrate damaged skin.

While many brightening products come with hydrating benefits, this serum gives equal importance to both. This contains a trio of ingredients known as Aqua Light, which consists of precious truffle-derived yeast extract and Western medicinal herbs to suppress melanin production to brighten and fight pigmentation and Aqua Ferm, which is said to activate the moisture proteins found in cells to improve the moisture paths between skin layers. Lastly, Poria Light boosts skin’s radiance and firms it up so it is better able to reflect light for a more luminuous complexion.

Enriched with 75 per cent hyaluronic acid, this soothing complex replenishes dehydrated skin and imparts a youthful radiance while smoothening out the appearance of fine lines and rough skin texture.

Suitable for all skin types, this fast-absorbing serum is infused with rose flower oil and rose water which is said to keep your complexion hydrated for up to 24 hours.

This serum contains three types of hyaluronic acid to instantly replenish moisture to all the different layers of skin for a more supple and firmer complexion.
