What if we could defy the signs of aging skin?
The biggest effect on skin aging isn’t time, it’s your lifestyle and habits

THE DEFINITION
Epigenetics: The heart of
youth mechanisms
Epigenetics defines the scientific study on how lifestyle and environment can influence the aging process of your skin.
Research on epigenetics shows that our genes provide a blueprint for biological functions, yet it's our lifestyle choices that largely shape their expression.

THE RESEARCH
Unprecedented clinical study on over 60 pairs
on over 60 pairs of twins1

At the origin was a clear and simple observation: despite having the same genetic makeup, the twins aged differently.
The study has shown that epigenetic changes can dramatically increase signs of skin aging. This is what Clarins calls Epi-ageing.

Epi-ageing: definition and concept
Epi-ageing is defined by Clarins as the acceleration of skin's aging process due to lifestyle and environmental factors such as UV exposure, pollution, and consumption of tobacco and alcohol.
Our research shows how these factors modify skin cell epigenetics, with a significant 44%2 increase in DNA-binding chemical structures that deactivate essential genes.
The result is a pronounced appearance of the six signs of aging. Forehead lines, dullness, visible pores, uneven skin tone, nasolabial folds, and sagging skin (ptosis).
How does the Double Serum help fight the effects of epigenetics on your skin?
Clarins’ Research proves for the first time that it is possible to challenge the effects of epi-ageing2.
Through epigenetic studies, Clarins developed a cutting-edge technology called Epi-ageing Defense, designed to target the signs of aging caused by lifestyle and environmental factors. Clarins’ Epi-ageing Defense technology helps to reinforce your skin against the aging accelerators of modern life. The organic Giant Provençal Reed extract fights against daily environmental skin damage.
This innovative formula is designed to boost the skin’s vital functions, fight the effects of aging and enhance the skin's barrier function.
