Fresh from Lancôme’s Clarifique collection, the Dual Essence promotes a smoother, more radiant-looking complexion. Applied to a clean face, the formula helps to hydrate and prep the skin for subsequent products. As its name implies, it’s composed of two essences blended into a lightweight concoction that packs a nourishing punch. French beech bud extract, grapeseed oil and a stable vitamin C derivative work in synergy to visibly brighten and even out the skin tone. Immediately after use, pores appear tighter and your complexion looks clarified and luminous.
