Both products you mentioned are actually the same Clarins Double Serum line, just with different naming conventions:
- “Double Serum Light Texture – Complete Age Control Concentrate”
- “Double Serum Hydric Lipidic System” (the original/classic formula)
The key difference is between the Light Texture and Original formulations.

Texture | 50% lighter feel, absorbs faster | Richer, more nourishing texture |
Formula Ratio | 2/3 water-based, 1/3 oil-based | 2/3 water-based, 1/3 oil-based |
Key Ingredients | Same 21+ plant extracts, plus Undecane for lightness | Same 21+ plant extracts |
Oil Composition | Higher avocado oil concentration | Higher cocoa extract concentration |
Absorption Time | 30-60 seconds faster absorption | Slower, more gradual absorption |
Finish | “Barely there” weightless finish | More nourishing, cushiony feel |
Best For | Combination/oily skin, humid climates | Normal to dry skin, winter use |

Both formulations provide identical results :[1][2][3]
- 92% smoother skin after 28 days
- 91% more radiant skin
- 89% skin rejuvenation
- Same anti-aging active ingredients
- Same dual-chamber dispensing system
- Same 5 vital skin functions: regeneration, nutrition, oxygenation, hydration, protection
Both use the Hydric + Lipidic System with:
- Dual-chamber bottles
- Adjustable dosing (single or double pump)
- Biomimetic 2:3 water-to-oil ratio
- Epi-Aging Defense Technology with Organic Giant Provençal Reed extract[6][7]
Choose Light Texture if you have combination/oily skin, prefer quick absorption, or live in humid climates. Choose the Original if you have dry skin, prefer richer textures, or use it primarily in winter.[2][3]
Both deliver the same proven anti-aging results, with the main difference being texture preference and skin type suitability.[1][2][3]
