Discover Clarins' natural retinol alternative - organic harungana for the smoothing benefits of Vitamin A without the redness or peeling.

While traditional retinol is known for its anti-ageing prowess, it can often be taxing on sensitive skin. Clarins has identified Organic Harungana extract as a potent, plant-based retinol skincare that is as effective as traditional retinol in firming the skin and reducing the appearance of deep wrinkles.

Any questions?

Our experts have the answer

Harungana plant extract is a plant-based retinol alternative that helps boost skin firmness, revealing smoother, and younger-looking skin.

What does retinol do?

No matter your skincare concern, you have probably already come across the newest reigning ingredient in the industry: Retinol. This vitamin A derivative has a proven track record of improving skin in all areas, from enhancing firmness and radiance, to fading dark spots and wrinkles. By stimulating the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, retinol has made its name as an all-star skincare ingredient. Clarins Research, with its unique expertise in plants, has succeeded in finding an equally effective* plant-based alternative to retinol - organic Harungana extract. *Comparative clinical study carried out on the anti-wrinkle and smoothing efficacy on 46 women who applied a base containing either organic harungana extract or retinol with a % of ingredient identical to that of the finished product, for a period of 56 days.

What are the benefits of Harungana for mature skin?

Choosing retinol alternative products like our Harungana-enriched creams provides comprehensive anti-ageing care:

  • Boosts firmness: Supports the synthesis of collagen fibres to densify the skin.

  • Smooths deep wrinkles: Targets creases and fine lines for a refined texture.

  • Gentle resurfacing: Promotes cell renewal without the inflammatory response of synthetic acids.

  • Lifting effect: Specifically formulated for skin weakened by hormonal changes.

Our collection is also formulated with a range of ingredients such as Shea Tree, Gorse, and Desert Date to help with different skin problems, including signs of ageing and the appearance of dark spots, and to nourish the skin.

How to use natural retinol in your skincare routine

There are countless ways to incorporate retinol into your Face Care routine, with retinol cream, retinol serum and even retinol body cream now on the market. For the best results, you can follow this routine:

  1. Cleanse: Start with a gentle Facial Cleansers to prep the skin.

  2. Apply serum: Use a Harungana-enriched serum, like the Super Restorative Remodelling Serum, to deliver the plant-derived actives deep into the skin's surface.

  3. Moisturise: Follow with a day or night cream containing Harungana, like Super Restorative Night Cream, to lock in the "retinol-like" firming benefits.

Unlike synthetic retinoids, which are often limited to night use, you can use Harungana twice daily to maintain constant collagen support.

Is Harungana a better retinol alternative for sensitive skin?

Yes. Traditional retinol can be quite aggressive, leading to dryness and flaking. Harungana is a gentle retinol alternative that delivers comparable firming and anti-wrinkle results while remaining kind to the skin’s moisture barrier.

Can I use Harungana products in the sun?

Unlike synthetic retinol, which often makes skin highly sensitive to UV rays, Harungana does not cause the same level of photosensitivity. However, for the best anti-ageing results, we always recommend pairing your natural retinol skincare with a Clarins SPF.
