CLARINS Multi-Active Glow Brightening Serum with Vitamin C & Glycolic Acid — Two‑Phase, Radiance‑Boosting 30ml

This two-phase serum is engineered to deliver a potent burst of Vitamin C alongside a gentle AHA exfoliant. Shake the bottle to reblend the oil and water layers before application, ensuring freshly activated stabilized Vitamin C and glycolic acid reach the skin. The formula targets dullness, uneven tone and visible fine lines while refining surface texture and improving radiance with regular use.

How do I activate and apply the two-phase formula?

Activation is simple: invert the bottle and shake to recombine the oil-soluble and water-soluble phases into a homogeneous serum. Use on cleansed skin, morning and/or night, pressing gently into face, neck and décolleté; avoid the immediate eye area. Follow with your usual moisturizer and sunscreen in the daytime.

• Shake well before every use to blend both layers.
• Dispense a few drops and press in with fingertips—no rubbing.
• Apply on clean skin; layer moisturizer afterward; wear sunscreen during day.

What skin benefits can I expect and when?

The serum aims to brighten complexion, reduce the look of uneven tone and smooth skin texture through exfoliation and antioxidant action. Some users notice immediate radiance from the oil phase, while texture improvements and more even tone typically appear with continued use. It also helps visibly refine pores with regular application.

• Immediate: refreshed glow from the oil phase.
• Short-term: softer-feeling texture after a few uses.
• Longer-term: improved radiance and more even tone with ongoing use.

Is this serum suitable for sensitive or combination skin?

The formula contains glycolic acid, an AHA that exfoliates, and stabilized Vitamin C in an oil-water system; sensitivity varies by individual. If you have very reactive skin, patch-test first and introduce the serum gradually. Those with combination skin can benefit from the dual-phase delivery—oil for comfort and water phase for exfoliation—applied where needed.

• Patch-test behind ear or inner arm before first full-face use.
• Start with fewer applications per week if you have reactive skin.
• Apply sunscreen daily when using AHA-containing products.

How does the packaging preserve active ingredients?

The bottle’s two-layer system separates the oil-soluble stabilized Vitamin C from the water-soluble glycolic acid until the moment of use, helping preserve potency. Shaking before dispensing reactivates the Vitamin C and ensures both actives are freshly combined for each application. The design supports stability and maximal freshness compared with pre-mixed formulas.

• Two-phase packaging keeps actives separated until use.
• Shake to reblend and deliver freshly activated ingredients.
• Opaque bottle reduces light exposure for ingredient protection.

Who this is for: Clarins Multi-Active Glow Brightening Serum is suited to adults seeking brighter, more even-looking skin and smoother texture—particularly those noticing early signs of uneven tone, dullness or fine lines. It’s appropriate for combination to normal skin types and for anyone willing to introduce an exfoliating active with sensible sun protection. If you have highly sensitive or compromised skin, consult a dermatologist or perform a patch test before regular use.
