On days when my skin felt particularly oily, I only applied it to my neck, depending on my skin's condition.

Clarins Double Serum Summer Version

This serum has separate hydration and oil layers, so you just need to shake it before use. I bought it out of curiosity while trying to hit a price point at the store, but I had no idea I'd be this satisfied. It's perfect for spring and summer, with an ideal oil and moisture balance for your skincare routine.

Before shaking, it feels like a toner, but after mixing the oil layer, it becomes slightly thicker - somewhere between a toner and an essence. It absorbs well into the skin. I rub it between my palms and press it into my face. The scent is so lovely, it's truly healing... Just using it lowers my stress levels. I think I'll repurchase this after I finish the bottle.

It's suitable for all skin types. For combination to normal skin, this alone might be enough in summer. However, it might not be quite sufficient for very dry skin.

하이드라 에센셜 인텐시브 바이페이즈 세럼

While this serum is fantastic on its own, I found that using it together with the cream from the same line created an even greater synergy, resulting in an even more noticeable improvement in my skin condition!

I can't think of any downsides while using this serum!

This serum really boosts skin hydration and makes it feel plump and full of moisture! It's great for solving deep dryness, and I noticed a significant improvement in my skin's dryness after using this product. I love that it doesn't cause pilling when applied before makeup, and it actually helps my makeup look more dewy and fresh. The serum absorbs well into the skin with a smooth application. It noticeably softens skin texture and improves overall skin condition. As someone with super sensitive skin that often reacts poorly to cosmetics, I'm thrilled that this product didn't cause any blemishes or skin irritation!

There's nothing particularly bad about it. If anything, having to shake it before use might be a bit of a hassle. The price is also a bit on the higher side, which is somewhat disappointing.

While using it, I wasn't sure how effective it was. But the moment I stopped, I realized this product was the reason my skin had been smooth, blemish-free, and well-hydrated.

I think it works really well when used with the Silky Cream. If you apply a thin layer of both in the morning, your makeup goes on smoothly without any pilling.

I had no idea there were so many potentially problematic ingredients in this... It's disappointing.

Using this serum together with the Silky Cream leaves my skin incredibly hydrated the next day. It feels so moisturized when I wash my face, which is wonderful.

There's nothing bad to say! This is a serum you can comfortably use year-round, regardless of the season.

I loved how this water-based serum absorbs well instantly without leaving any greasy residue!

The price point is a bit disappointing... But aside from that, there's nothing else I find lacking.

This is currently my most beloved product. After cleansing, it feels like it's deeply penetrating my skin, which is incredibly satisfying. The finish is refreshing without any stickiness. The scent is also absolutely divine. I'll likely continue using this for quite some time.

It's quite pricey, I must say. I'm using it more as a toner replacement than a serum, but it's definitely on the expensive side.

Clarins products generally work really well with my super sensitive skin!

The price is a bit steep, making it hard to justify a purchase. The pleasant scent... makes me wonder if it contains fragrances that might not be good for the skin. However, I didn't find any particular drawbacks.

The fragrance is lovely. On days I use it, my family comments on how nice I smell. It absorbs well too. When applied before bed, my skin feels hydrated until the next morning. I initially tried a sample, but now I'm considering purchasing the full size. The blue color gives a refreshing feel. As someone with oily skin, I usually avoid products with oils, but this felt light and pleasant to use in winter.

Use after cleansing, followed by toner and then a hydrating serum.

It's quite pricey. The bottle empties quickly, probably because I use about two pumps each time.

Keeps dry winter skin moisturized and hydrated. I've been using this product for 10 years.

While it doesn't have any dramatic effects, it's a solid, reliable product that's easy to use.

I've probably gone through about five bottles of this. It's great that it's affordable for a Clarins essence!

I strongly recommend not using this product.

My skin completely broke out. When I looked at the ingredients, they were really terrible. It even contains sunscreen components. After using this, I developed severe inflammatory acne and I'm still undergoing treatment.

There's absolutely nothing good about it. It's truly the worst essence I've ever used.
