2.Double Serum Light from Clarins S$179, 50ml

The humidity of Singapore can make a multi-step skincare routine feel sticky at times with various products layered on top of each other. Clarins has now launched a lightweight version of its iconic Double Serum that is quickly absorbed into the skin! The same formula of 21 plant extracts that reduces the visible signs of ageing is refined into a new trio of super-lightweight oil molecules that diffuses the active ingredients before disappearing. A pump of serum every night is sufficient to plump, hydrate, and brighten skin, whilst reducing the appearance of fine lines.
