The beautiful and vivacious Irma G is a well known radio personality and reporter for Etv Sunrise. Irma is a real beauty gal who loves makeup and skincare, so I figured she’d be the perfect person to put the new Clarins Double Serum through its paces.

Irma has combination skin, that tends towards sensitivity, “I have the kind of skin that does not like soap-based products at all! Not only do they leave my skin feeling tight and excessively shiny, they also cause my skin to break out. Because my skin is really sensitive, it reacts differently to each season, making finding the appropriate skin care products a real challenge.

I’m concerned about my skin, particularly as I’m in my 40’s and now also have to deal with the onset of age-related concerns like fine lines, enlarged pores, wrinkles and sagging! Added to this, my work hours are hectic – and the first place you can see it is on my skin.

I was super keen to try the Clarins Double Serum, but I won’t lie – I had some concerns; as my skin is so reactive and sensitive. Immediately after using it for the first time, I was amazed at how nourishing it was – without being at all greasy! I also absolutely love the texture of the serum, and how it applies easily and penetrates my skin immediately. 

I really love everything about this serum – from the subtle scent, to how you’re able to customize the amount of product you use according to your skin type and climate (very, very clever indeed). Packing is always key for me, and the Double Serum is really an amazing example of clever design.

Irma & her son

I’ve only been using the Double Serum for a short period (1 month), but already I’ve noticed that the overall texture of the skin on my face, neck and decolletage is smoother and softer. I can see a definite glow, and have had many compliments on looking so well rested – that’s been a real bonus! I’ve also seen a slight improvement in my skin’s firmness, and it certainly looks more radiant. Oh, I’ve also noticed quite a visible reduction in my pore size (I find as I get older, my pores seem to get larger!!).

When I asked Irma if she’d purchase this serum and recommend it to friends, this was her response: Absolutely! I would recommend it and will certainly purchase it again. It’s become a must-have in my beauty regime.”

The Clarins Double Serum retails for R880 for a 30ml and R1180 for a 50ml
