FAQs
How do I choose the right shade for my skin tone?
Clarins offers 37 shades. It is best to test shades in natural daylight on your jawline to find the closest match. Consider your skin's undertones (cool, warm, or neutral) when selecting.
What is the benefit of the dial on the foundation bottle?
The dial allows you to customize the amount of foundation dispensed, controlling the coverage level from medium to full. A lower number gives lighter coverage, and a higher number gives fuller coverage.
Can I use this foundation if I have sensitive skin?
The foundation is enriched with skincare ingredients, but individual reactions can vary. It's generally formulated with care, but if you have specific sensitivities, patch testing is recommended.
How long does the skincare benefit last?
The skincare benefits are designed for long-lasting effects with continued use. Clinical tests show improvements in skin smoothness and a reduction in the signs of aging over time.
What is the finish of the Double Serum Foundation?
The foundation provides a luminous, satin finish, designed to give the skin a healthy, radiant appearance.
Is this foundation suitable for mature skin?
Yes, the formula contains peptides to boost collagen production and hyaluronic acid for hydration, which can benefit mature skin by addressing signs of aging and improving suppleness.
How does this foundation compare to using Double Serum alone?
Double Serum Foundation combines the immediate cosmetic coverage and finish of a foundation with the targeted skincare benefits of Double Serum. While Double Serum focuses purely on skin treatment, the foundation adds coverage, radiance, and enhanced age-defying properties.
Troubleshooting
Foundation appears streaky upon application.
Ensure skin is properly prepped with moisturizer and/or primer. Try using a different application tool (e.g., brush instead of sponge) or a different application technique like stippling.
Coverage is too heavy or too light.
Adjust the dial to a different setting. Experiment with lower or higher numbers to find your ideal dose for the desired coverage.
Product does not dispense properly from the dial.
Ensure the dial is turned correctly and that there is no dried product obstructing the mechanism. Gently wipe the area around the dial with a clean, dry cloth.
Shade match seems off.
Consider undertones when selecting a shade. Lighting can affect perception; test shades in natural light if possible. Clarins offers 37 shades, so re-evaluation might be needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The foundation features a unique dial mechanism. To use, select your desired dose of product by turning the dial. A lower number typically corresponds to lighter coverage, while a higher number provides more coverage.
Application: For best results, it is recommended to apply your usual Double Serum and moisturizer routine first. Then, use the dial to dispense the foundation and apply it using a foundation brush, preferably the Gua Sha-inspired brush for a sculpted and lifted effect. Alternatively, a damp beauty sponge or clean fingers can be used for application.
Compatibility: This foundation is designed to be compatible with most skincare routines. For enhanced age-defying benefits, it is specifically recommended to use it alongside Clarins Double Serum and a moisturizer.
Care: Store the foundation in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is securely closed after each use to maintain product integrity. Clean application tools (brushes, sponges) regularly to ensure hygienic application and prevent product buildup. The foundation itself does not typically require cleaning, but the dispensing mechanism should be kept free of dried product.
