How does it work?
Science has the answers
Here are our latest scientific and botanical breakthroughs that revitalise your skin.
2018 firmness innovation
Improve firmness at the source
For the first time, Clarins laboratories have discovered specific areas within the skin where fibroblasts are grouped together in a protective nest. These clustered fibroblasts have high regeneration potential and new Extra-Firming helps to do exactly this.
The Clarins answer
Kangaroo flower extract
The ethnobotanists at Clarins travelled to Australia to study kangaroo flower extracts. The flowers that grow at the end of its stem increase the plant’s ability to generate by attracting pollinating birds. Just like groups of young cells help the skin regenerate.
Constant innovation
Fortifying the firmness bonds
The last generation of Extra-Firming creams provided the best firming action by impacting all elements of firmness (elastin fibres, collagen fibres and fibroblasts) as well as the connections that anchor fibres to skin cells. In 2018, Clarins is boosting this action with a new plant-derived active ingredient.
The Clarins answer
Mitracarpus extract
Clarins sourced a new Mitracarpus extract in Burkina Faso with a triple action on collagen, elastin fibres and firming bonds that visibly improve the skin's elasticity and firmness.
Night chronobiological innovation
We regenerate at night.
The skin has its own rhythm. During the day, it fights off external aggressors like pollution, free radicals, UV rays and stress. At night-time, the skin rests and reaches the peak of regeneration, especially during the “golden hours” between 11:00 PM and 2:00 AM.
Slowing momentum
Night-time regeneration
By comparing the nocturnal activities of young and old fibroblasts, Clarins discovered that regeneration slows down with age.
The Clarins answer
Moonstone hydrated silica
By acting on the fibroblast’s two nocturnal mechanisms affected by age, moonstone hydrated silica helps optimise the skin’s nocturnal regeneration process.
