Works for
MoisturizingAcetyl tetrapeptide-2, Glycerin + 9 moreWorks well
“The lightweight texture smooths over the face and neck, working to support a more lifted, refined look to facial contours while helping skin feel comfortably hydrated and supple.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": biosaccharide gum-1, dextran.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl tetrapeptide-2
Anti-agingAcetyl tetrapeptide-2, Ascorbic acidMay help
“Clarins Super Restorative Remodelling Serum is a targeted anti-ageing serum created for skin experiencing visible changes linked with hormonal shifts.”
This product contains acetyl tetrapeptide-2. There is some human evidence that this ingredient helps reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin elasticity and firmness, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best anti-aging ingredients.
Evens skin toneHexylresorcinol, Ascorbic acidNot delivered
“Organic Montpellier rock-rose extract, nicknamed the 'phoenix plant', helps visibly reduce the look of age-related dark spots and restores the complexion's luminosity.”
This product contains ingredients (hexylresorcinol) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Hexylresorcinol, Bisabolol + 4 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (hexylresorcinol) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is some human evidence for this effect in skin, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best antioxidants.

Product summary
"Clarins - Super Restorative Remodelling Serum" is effective for: Moisturizing
This product could be helpful for: Anti-aging, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.
Ingredient callouts
- This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this product it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.05% - 0.10%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
- Peptides (acetyl tetrapeptide-2 0.05% - 0.20%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
- Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 0.95% - 1.45%, dextran 0.01% - 0.10%, biosaccharide gum-1 0.10% - 0.45% and glycerin 4.30% - 6.50%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
