  1. Yes I agree that serum is very important in our skincare routine…though it should be used according to individual needs n skin type…but serum is something that works fast n directly..it gives much better effect than a normal cream.. I do vote for using serum whenever its required..

  2. YESS..Serum is essential for our skin care routine.Among several reasons the most important i feel that it has that deep-reach nourishment factor for which the CTM routine lacks.Its like the “missing link” for the perfect skin.And not to forget its multipurpose properties encapsulating all essential needs/ingredients to make us glow..

  3. Yes surely … It completely rejuvenates ur skin … They acts as a repairing agents to repair d skin from d deeper levels…love d visible effects in no time by d use serum πŸ™‚

  4. Fingers crossed !
    Really wanna win this cute gift pack from Clarins’

    Coming to the Answer-

    Including Serum in skin care routine is Important
    as it really make BIG improvement.
    Its effects are more potent than regular creams.

    Only a serum can penetrate the many layers of the skin.A serum with its tiny molecules can add moisture and other ingredients much deeper into the skin.
    Thats it !
    πŸ™‚

  5. Yay! Cute giveaway…although fighting my luck hard in terms of giveaway but participating is always fun!
    Yes including serum is must in skincare as it helps in gaining healthy glowing skin due to its unique propeties. Am sure that’s what we all ladies aim at irrespective of age and style.

  6. Using a serum is a highly effective way to maintain
    prolong or bring back the youthful
    glow. It adds nutrients into deeper
    layers of the skin that a regular
    moisturizer is not able to reach.So a serum is very essential for our skin care routine !!

  7. Thank You Clahrans for treating us.. so here’s my 5 cents.. trying my luck πŸ˜‰
    Yes! Serum is important because it is full of potent nutrients which reach skin deep and give you a youthful glow πŸ™‚ mainly bacuse the concentartion of nutrients is more than we what we find in normal creams.

  8. Firstly thanx for the giveaway to IMBB as well as Clarins. As I gather serum is important, sometimes as a precautionary measure to avoid the signs of ageing and impact of surroundings, profession and pollution on our skin but mostly people start using it as a cure. Due to it’s concentrated form and quick absorption it’s effects are visible in a relatively short span as compared to other skincare n repair products.
    I personally believe in precaution rather than cure so if you feel your surroundings etc are having a negative impact on your skin then do select a serum as per your requirement.
    It’s a myth that serums are for aging skin only, serums are also useful for skin discoloration, pigmentation, reducing the pore size etc, these are problems faced by people of all ages.
    Also if you have a notion that once you use a serum you have to continue using it at all times is again false, a serum can be used occasionally as per the requirement, just like in winters you use a heavy winter care cream n in summers a sun screen with more spf. Understand your skin and take care of it, ciao!

  9. Serums have the ability to penetrate deeper into the skin.They’re much finer in texture than creams and are more readily accepted into the skin.
    The problem areas of the skin such as a dark spots,acne and early aging signs are targeted in a better way because the serum just does not settle over the top of the skin like the creams do.
    As serums are full of concentrates, noticeable results will be achieved quicker.

  10. Gotta love Clarins!! <3
    Now onto the importance of serums….:) I dont know why they always remind me of cocktails! πŸ˜€
    The main reason you'd want to use a facial serum is to get added nutrients into deeper layers of your skin that a regular moisturizer is not able to reach. Basically serums are repair products – they work on a deeper level. Using skin care serum is greatly overlooked in most women's facial regimes. It is seen to be unnecessary and expensive and above the usual cleanse, tone and moisturise routine, but it is a highly effective way to maintain, prolong or bring back the youthful glow we all want to have forever. πŸ˜€

  11. Oh sweet heavens! This is a super cute giveaway, so first & foremost thank you for making this happen! πŸ™‚
    Serum use & importance will surely defer from person to person naturally but for me specifically why it is important it because of the stress our skin goes through these days – the atmosphere, the lifestyle is impacting this current generation of makeup users like never before. The awareness that exists of makeup & skin care brands coupled with the ease of accessibility & affordability of working women has made so many of us willing to experiment with new products so regularly. Although it is fun & makes us wiser regarding what works for us & what not, surely it must & will have adverse effects on our skin in the long run if we don’t do anything to counteract them. We need something that works beyond a regular cream. The concentrated ingredients, deep penetration, targeted action & repair a serum can provide is in many cases a need today rather than a luxury.

  12. Serums are the products which pack more efficiency in a small quantity. They are a boon for oily skinned beauties, with their lightness. I believe that after the age of 25, serums must be included in the skincare regime to keep the aging i check.

  13. Thanks for this opportunity..have always wanted to try clarins products
    Serum’s have been a rage in market since last few years, they are extremely light in texture and have the ability to penetrate our skin better than creams. This also will result in better and faster results of improvement in our skin. Since they are quite concentrated in nature they will get absorbed faster and give quicker results to skin problems like dullness, bark sports, uneven skin tone, hyper pigmentation etc

  14. thia is such a great opportunity to try out clarins products! thanks IMBB πŸ™‚ although am not an expert in this but the one thing which comes to my mind on hearing “serum” in skin treatment is “direct nourishment”. nutrients are much more concentrated in serums and their light texture makes them work way more faster than face creams. so things like spots, pigmentation, blemishes etc can be treated in a much faster way with serums. also, the result is lasting as it penetrates deep into our skin layers. and in this fast running world, we all need fast but lasting results, don’t we? πŸ™‚

  15. First of all thnx to IMBB and Clarins for this awesome giveaway!!
    This is a wonderful opportunity to try Clarins Products…I feel that Serums can add that extra mositure which is extremely beneficial to skin and its more better than a regular drug store moisturiser….As I am in mid twenties I feel, Including a serum in daily routine is important to help fight the first signs of aging…Serums also start working faster than your regular moisturiser……
    I really wish to try Clarin Double serum ever since Rati reviewed it…Hope to be lucky this time πŸ™‚

  16. This is why I love IMBB! Thanks a ton for the opportunity! Every night when we sleep, our body goes through a healing and repair process, and that includes our skin as well, and as research suggests our skin is the most receptive from 12AM – 4AM, and nothing better than a good serum, which aids this repair process of our skin with concentrated goodness of skin friendly ingredients, to make one have a healthy and glowing skin. Serums are light weight, so it lets our skin breathe without clogging up the pores, and since they are concentrated, a little goes a long way! And I feel the best way to achieve healthy looking skin and get fast results would be to incorporate a good serum designed for your skin type in our daily skincare routine! πŸ™‚

  17. I am also participating….this is too good to pass. BTW, I didn’t know it was Klaahraans…..I thought it was Klarinzzzzzzzzz πŸ˜› I already liked my facebook page (smug). Second koshen ka answer, I will copy paste it from Parita’s…….yay, did it πŸ™‚

    1. I’ve been pronouncing it as Kla-rinz all this while too! LOL I feel so unsophisticated now πŸ˜› πŸ˜›

  18. yayyy…thankkss a lot for this simple giveaway…
    here comes my entry πŸ™‚
    Yes a serum is definately important because..
    A serum is a CONCENTRATED Formulation of energetic substances created to penetrate deep in to the skin and enhance the efficiency of lotions utilized later on. Its advanced texture lets it to get easily and quickly absorbed by means of the pores and skin. it might even be utilised being an occasional procedure to your skin to aid with imbalances (e.g. tiredness, anxiety, seasonal variations, and so forth.). BUT, use just well before your day and/or night product
    The formulation is so concentrated that a couple of drops will probably be adequate.

  19. yes i love to use serums because
    1.they have high concentrations of potent active ingredients
    2.they are so light on skin
    currently im using olay regenerist serum

  20. Hello,

    I am going to provide a very scientific reason:

    Face serums are very important although till some years back this concept was unheard of and our mothers relied on moisturizers and cold creams. The whole idea behind a serum is that it is highly concentrated and has targeted action. It is meant to address specific skin and aging concerns.

    Probably serums and sunscreens were not needed a couple of decades ago, however today with the environmental changes coupled with stress and pollution, we need to keep our skin texture in place. So serums and sunscreens need to form an integral part of our skin care regimen.

    Serums are light in texture, so it is gets easily penetrated into the layers of the skin and thus have the ability to perfom miracles such as delay aging, reduce pore size, reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

    Point to note here is they are expensive as compared to the other skin products because they are concentrated. However, very little quantity is needed for daily use, thus the bottle lasts u the same time as your other beauty products…

    Thus i conclude my essay on Face Serum πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

    I felt i was writing for a school exam… Hope I pass…LOL

  21. Yes..defintely agree to the point that serums should be added in daily skin regime.This fact I gathered from reading IMBB reviews.. so I also went through many other informative sites and could gather the fact that serums are necessary to repair damage caused by everyday styling and the enviornment.

    Skin serums moisturize, uplift the skin, are anti-inflammatory and soothing to the skin.Serums target the fine lines and visibly reduce them. serum’s small molecular structure which enables it to penetrate through three layers of the skin depositing skin nutrients and stimulating collagen production from the inside- out causing overall improvement in the skin tone, skin brightness and skin smoothness.
    Inshort.. serums helps in

    S – Smoothening
    E – Effect
    R – Reduces
    U – un-even tone and
    M – moisturizes
    S – skin
    πŸ™‚

  22. Serums are beauty products that help combat signs of ageing,dullness and fine lines on the face and neck. They are formulated with nutrients composed of smaller molecules which allows them to enter all the 3 layers of the skin..unlike regular creams and moisturisers which only provide moisture to the skin. Hence, serums work much faster and give effective results. Serums are also bebeficial in revitalizing skin and repairing tissues. I personally feel that including a serum in ur regular skin care routine will give you the desired results that you want, as they bond with the skin..and inturn become a part of the skin!!!Β 

      1. Sometimes, some comments are not published immediately because some content in it could be malicious/detected as malicious. These comments require moderation by the page admin(s). Don’t worry, here at IMBB the love is so overwhelming that people end up writing long comments which then require moderation. But there’s always our three power-puff girls to the rescue- Jomol, Neha and Rati πŸ™‚

  23. Including a Serum is definitely a must in the skin care routine because they just work on a deeper levels of skin unlike the regular moisturizer that usually works on the first few layers. They penetrate super fast into the skin thus working on the skin from first few uses itself. The serums can be chosen as per one’s individual requirements.

    Thanks for the awesome Giveaway! πŸ™‚

  24. Wow! this is too good to be true. I have been an ardent reader of IMBB and have always relied on it for excellent reviews. This is my first comment on IMBB and i am so excited about it! πŸ™‚ i realllly love the giveaway and i am so hoping i win this one…
    Coming to the answer – a serum gains far more importance in one’s skincare regimen as age progresses and the skin needs much more nutrients and suppleness that cannot be provided by our good old moisturizers and creams. Serums are much more potent than regular creams as they have a high concentration of active ingredients and are of a finer consistency than regular moisturizers/creams. This makes it easily absorbable by the skin and it works effectively on problem areas like spots, hyper pigmentation and dull skin.
    That’s it πŸ™‚ and now the wait for the results begins…. πŸ™‚

  25. First of all, a big hug to you guys.. you are always the besttttt πŸ˜€ :*
    IMBB is the only place where i love to be 24X7 and never felt tired or boring even for a nano second πŸ˜›
    Secondly, a very biggggggggggg thanks for this awesome giveaway!! πŸ™‚
    Lastly, my answer: Yes yes yes
    Including a serum in your daily skin care helps a lot in improving your skin texture definitely. A serum helps in reducing fine lines, wrinkles, suppress and minimize acne and what not…. So i love to include it in my routine always πŸ™‚ πŸ˜€

  26. Hi Very nice giveaway!! and especially when it comes from Clarins..its droolworthy..
    So I wont talk high funda on serum as you can get all the gyan from Google..My comment is based on my experience..i prefer serums over heavy creams..
    1) They are feathery light on skin
    2) Gives an instant hydration dose to the skin
    3) Doesnt break me out
    4) Gets absorbed fast and give a baby soft feel instantly (Which I love the most)
    5) Plus some of them can be used as PRIMER (added advantage)
    I think usage of serum is very scarce in indian market..but I guess it should not be included as the “quintessential” beauty mantra..What I feel is beauty products are very skin and choice specific ..I might love it but for others it wont be a neccessity..so all depends on how you feel after using the product and this giveaway is exactly doing the same thing..giving a chance to try a high end relatively new product and decide whether you want your daily dose of serum or not..
    Thanks IMBB team ..

  27. Thank you IMBB team for this wonderful giveaway.
    Serum is important in skincare routine as it helps in improving the skin texture,minimizng the pores ,diminsh pigmentation and dark spots.It also helps in reducing fines and wrinkles.If we start using it early, it prevents all these problems and thus gives us a healthy skin.It also helps in repairing the damage caused due to enviromental aggressors.Most serums are light weight and get quickly absorbed in the skin and thus start acting very quickly.My derma suggested me to use serums for my skin care routine.He mentioned that it improves skin texture and the overall elasticity of the skin and I am glad I took his advice.

  28. I think using serums in one’s skincare routine is important because of the goodness that a serum offers, which is much more than a face cream would. A serum is more potent than a skin cream as it goes deeper into our skin’s layers and works its magic. And so one should make the serum a part of her Cleansing, toning ,moisturising routine . . .and put it on just before the moisturising as its thinner than , most moisturisers . .

    So even though its a tad expensive, its worth it to use a serum thats right for your skin for all the benefits it offers. . . be it reversing ageing,restoring skin radiance, a serum could very well be your answer.

    Thanks IMBB πŸ™‚ Hope to try these out πŸ™‚

  29. Hi!! firstly thanks for the info that its klahrans!! lolzz i have been mis-pronouncing it till now:(..Ok my answer now..Since I have oily skin, I always shy away from moisturizing.I hate applying creams on my face! but using a serum is totally different, it does not make my face greasy and serums have 70% of active ingredients compared to our regular face creams which have only 5–10%!!These products are able to deliver a much greater concentration of nutrients deeper into the skin without making it look like a frying pan!

  30. Hi! Amazing giveaway!
    Step 1: Just liked the Clarins Facebook page
    Step 2: Here’s my answer

    Yes of course! Serums do what creams and moisturizers can’t. They penetrate deep into the skin and are more likely to give visible results because they have extremely concentrated compositions. Plus its so easy to apply! Three-four drops of a face serum and you are done! πŸ™‚

  31. ohhhhhhhhhhsaaaaaaaaaam
    IMBB is so much fun out and out
    and clarins :thumbsup:
    the giveaway is sure easy and painless Sanjeev ji ,we have the best giveawaysssssss alwayzzzzzzzzzz πŸ˜€

  32. Knocking on the wood…hope i win…!!!!!
    Liked the fb page..ahem..now the answer..

    I agree that including a serum in our beauty regimen is a must as the liquid product is easily absorbed by the skin, the facial skin is replenished and rejuvenated in a jiffy!!yay!! Unlike any other beauty product like a cream or moisturizer which only layer up on the skin, a serum is soaked up by the facial skin and hence gives better results.

    Regular use would prevent wrinkles and aging of skin. And we ladies don’t need another reason now..do we?? lol…

    Thanks….(fingers crossed)

    1. hey..just one thing.. comment here through my yahoo id and i have a facebook account through gmail…i’ve liked your fb page throgh gmail..hope it’s alright..

  33. I have a combination skin and tend to break out very easily. I am on the look out for products which don’t make my skin look smothered with oil. πŸ˜› . After using serum I realised that it forms a layer that gets dried very soon thus preventing my skin from looking shiny. I had also read that serums have special ingredients to fight damage caused due to pollution, aging. Serums play a major role in reducing pores …and I have open pores. They aid in quick collagen production which forms good base for anti ageing. And serum is fragnace free which is an added bonus for me.

    My skin care routine: I apply a think layer of sunscreen and moisturiser after cleansing and toning and follow it up with a serum. At night is it cleansing , toning, night repair cream and serum.

  34. yes , addding a serum in your daily skin care regimen is important . the serum works much faster than any cream or lotion and has more powerful ingredients as compared to the cream. the serum helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, check the pore sizes, even tone the skin texture making it bright and smooth with plumpy feeling. if you are not using any serum, think of using it now.

  35. Absolutely but exceptional in certain cases. a Serum goes deeper into the skin layers than a moisturizer.you skin feels like its fresh and washed. But people with smaller pores dont need it, as even a toner will do. And young tender skin does not need a serum. With age, pores start getting enlarged and stuff so it is very important to use a serum then πŸ™‚ Serums work like a moisturizer cum brightening gels…Theyre amazing!! πŸ™‚

  36. Well..I wish to win soooo…..desperately πŸ˜€
    Now the answer…possessing a sensitive as well as oily skin has always been such a trouble for me…. πŸ™ Moreover I HATE using regular creams due to their greasy texture but serums are just so different.They are certainly better because they provide essential nourishment to my skin because of it’s better absorption tendency and don’t make skin greasy at all. YIPEE!!

  37. I hope i win *chewnails*
    Well, my answer is: I do feel serums should be a part of beauty care routine. The CTM is now CTSM. Since a serum is made of small molecules, it is easier to get penetrated deep into the different layers of the skin hence showing a remarkable difference by repairig the tissues. Any age group females may use the same depending on their need ( acne/anti ageing/skin ligthening etc)

  38. Thanks For the giveaway.. 
    I thought it is khla-rinz and thanks for the correcting the pronunciation.. 
    I follow the CTM every night religiously, because the skin is free from pollution and relaxes during the time we sleep. Now I’m in my mid twenties and I have decided to take proper care of my skin and fight ageing. So I feel serum is one of the best products to nourish your skin and make it look younger and healthier. β€˜Serum’ ,the word in general gives the feel, that it is somehow better than the regular creams and I have read that serums are rich in nutrients and highly concentrated, thus giving much better results than the creams we use generally.
    And one last reason why I would include serum in my skin care routine is , I feel serums are non greasy and gets absorbed easily to your skin, delivering the best results.

  39. hello,
    thank you for giving me a chance to present my views here about serum.

    yes, adding a serum in your daily skin care routine can make you even better. instead of using toner after cleansing, use of serum to your skin makes is softer, prevents wrinkles and fine lines . it also even tones the skin texture and nourishes the skin. your skin feels more soft and smoother than before.

    thanks..

    1. Aying Shivani….shouldn’t happen, try again. On our blog itself, towards the right, you can like the page πŸ™‚

  40. this is so good….I love to try klahrans so my is honest view on serum is..Yes serum is very essential step to get a beautiful skin.I recently started using it & every morning I can notice the difference pore minimisation,subtle glow & that lovely freshness is there…I love watching myself in mirror in the morning as soon as I wake up.

  41. yes serum are absolutely essential in my skin care routine as I m now in my thirties and my skin needs that extra care and nourishment that serums provide. They being light yet concentrated, help my skin breathe and at the same time reaching deep within to work their magic.
    So…waiting for my clarins magic potion….

  42. As per step1, liked the facebook page of clarins
    Coming to the second step-Serums play a vital role in skincare. They get absorbed in the skin very quickly compared to the other products. In turn, benefits the skin. It is my personal opinion that they even don’t break out the skin.

  43. Definitely ,yes. But we generally tend to overlook the importance of a serum in our skin care daily regime.As most of us might not know the exact importance or just think it to be unnecessary and expensive.But to our surprise ,serums are the most important skin saving products that are available in the market.They can just do wonders to our skin.Especially people with enlarged pores (like me :() should include a good serum into their daily skincare regime.It will not only help to reduce the size of the pores but also it will prevent the skin from early ageing , wrinkles etc.It gives the skin a subtle glow after a period of usage.After a certain age even people with normal skin/ smaller pores should also use serum for better nourishment of the skin. So, in my opinion, a serum is an absolute need and solution to each of us at certain point of time. πŸ™‚

  44. I feel serum is the lightest potion which can be either in a form of cream or gel is good for skin.. Oily and Combination people like me love to apply serum coz they are very light weight and easily get absorbed in the skin. Bt now in market they are lot of serums available for diff. types of skin. They are revolutionary product which helps to ease out many problems likes, acne, wrinkle, under eye dark circles, blemishes, pigmentation etc. They bit expensive in compare to cream but the results are best in compare to cream. Now a days they are part of everyone’s routine. Even males do also use serums.

  45. I have never added a serum in my routine before simply because I have extremely sensitive skin and am scared to experiment with my skincare. Since I have heard so much about Clarins and its awesomeness I would love to win this to see it for myself. πŸ˜‰

    Answer: Yes its important to use a serum in your routine simply because it is a concentrated version of a moisturizer and is packed with goodness to enhance the texture of your skin.

  46. Nice Giveaway.! πŸ˜€ I personally prefer using serums only when my skin requires “special” attention. When your skin is in a bad state that cannot be repaired by your regular skin care routine, using serum helps tremendously. Serums help a lot in restoring a damaged skin back to its original state swiftly as they contain ingredients in high concentration.

  47. liked the facebook page -well including serum in your skin care routine is very imporatant as you can get gift hamper because of it πŸ˜› well jokes apart at a certain age creams don’t work as it needs more time to get absorbed into skin and creams sometime can leave a whitish cast all over making bit obivious to people that you have used something over your skin, whereas serum takes seconds to absorb and works 10times better and nobody can even point out that you have used something but your skin looks youthful at the sametime -well this is my first comment on IMBB page ,hope i win πŸ˜‰ btw loving you IMBB you been my saviour most of the time before choosing any products i refer reviews here and it has never let me down -seriously you have proved to be a boon to girls πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ πŸ˜›

    1. Good morning rati..:) I m new to IMBB …but following it for quite a few days..nowadays…even if i want to buy a lip balm also..i come to check with IMBB first..:P bought so many things…after reading reviews from IMBB.. πŸ˜€ really really lovin it.. πŸ™‚ thanksss…..

  48. Liked the FB page..Eeeee !! πŸ˜›
    So starting with being a girl in mid twenties , skin problems are super natural to appear and super scary! I have very thin sensitive skin, So I always have to go at lenghts to take good care of it.Needless to say its important to fight from age defying lines as well as pollution. Ta daaa πŸ˜› Here we have …That one product….which work like wonder on skin..and fights all these skin problems through its deep penetration and effective formulae.So……GO CTS(erum)M ladies !! Its time We change… (:

    Isko laga daala toh life jhingalala πŸ˜›

  49. Good one for IMBB readers. Thanks for this opportunity first. Serum is always important in daily routine bcos it enters deep layers of the cell and rejuvenates the skin from inside. It repairs layers of cell which gives a permanent effect unlike creams which forms a cast on the skin just entering the top layers of the skin. For a permanent good texture of skin serum is essential in daily routine πŸ˜€

  50. Step 1: done! step 2 : A good face serum actually helps moisturizer to penetrate deeper into the skin and provide effective hydration πŸ™‚ [Source : my dry skin :P]
    ^_^

  51. Yes i feel including a double serum in the skin regime is very necessary and i can say so coz I’m using only Clarins right now and it’s helping the parched dry skin on my face and even seems to be restoring the skin because it feels sometimes a little more dewy than before I switched to this brand.
    Moreover i feel using a serum is just not only for mature women, v shud start taking care of our skin as young as possible and with a good serum in skin care regime will beautify to a great extent only!! πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€
    i hope dis time my comment get posted as my few previous comments were not posted πŸ™ :'(

  52. liked the fb page…….and i have recently discovered serum but the difference it has made in my skin in such a short time is remarkable,it reduces pore size makes the skin glow helps to reduce nasty pigmentation and dullness and reduces all the tell a tale signs of ageing….and it gets absorbed so quickly since my serum is water based it feels like am wearing nothing so no worries about greasiness of skin ….the new beauty mantra of every girls should now be ctm & s…..thank u imbb team…..

  53. Yes! It definately is for me! In winter my skin gets so dry and frostbitten, and if i was to pile on the moisturiser every day it would get spotty ( I have combination skin), so I make sure to use a serum at night, whilst i get my beauty sleep!

  54. Hi, this is probably the best give away so far! I really really hope I win this.

    What in my opinion an anti aging serum does:

    Post 25, our skin gradually starts degenerating which is why extra care is needed to make sure it stays soft & supple. Due to environmental conditions (pollution, harsh weather, dust etc..) & lifestyle issues ( partying late, work press, stress, caffeine, nicotine) we often abuse our skin. Skin they say, is the mirror of your body – it reflects the state of health. One really needs to take extra care to make sure we do not abuse the skin too much. This is where a serum comes to aid – a serum helps balance the negatives by providing the skin with essential oils & extracts. While a serum is not the one stop solution, combined with the right skin regime, it helps you enjoy a good skin for a longer time.

    Why do I need this serum?

    Ok, so I have had oily skin & was a tom boy ignoring my skin all these years till I looked at myself in the mirror one day & decided enough is enough! Somebody recommended I see Dr Kubba who detected I have PCOS among a host of nutritional deficiencies ! Since then I have been a little anal about my skin – yes I have a skin routine, check ups every month to ensure I undo what I did to my skin all these years.

    Then day I turned 25, I walked into L’occitane to pick up some anti aging products to compliment my skin regime. With my marriage around the corner (yes, I am getting married in July), I would like to make sure I look the glowing bride on the D-day! I really think a serum like this might help compliment my existing efforts. I have ready how Rati managed to look great both in Humid (Goa) & Dry (Delhi) weather.. And I cant tell you how much I want to try this product myself.

    I am hoping I get chosen to try the gift pack – The cleanser & eye shadow seem like the perfect combo. It seems likes an irresistible giveaway. *fingers crossed*

    p.s : on an unrelated note, am getting engaged on the 25th of Jan when the results will be out.. should be checking out results from chennai πŸ™‚

  55. Good Morning,

    Including a Serum in a skin care regime is indeed important because it has the efficiency to penetrate into the deeper layers of skin while addressing a core problem along with sufficient moisturisation.
    So definitely a yes !If a serum can both moisture and correct skin problems than I bet it should a part of everyday care!

  56. Wow… iss baar tho mughe jitna heen hai. I really wana try these product.

    I will be very honest here, till now I have not tried any serum in my skin care routine. Actually until today i was not knowing what is the difference between a serum and a moisturizer. After seeing this page, I google to find the difference and I was amazed to see the results. It says that moisturizers have bigger molecules then a serum , so it can not penetrate skin as deeper as a serum can do. Serums are made of higher concentration of active ingredients so it works deeper and faster. Be it an anti aging serum, spot removal serum or acne curing serum it always works better then a cream for the same purpose.

    After finding all this gyaan on net I am really willing to try serum in my skin care routine. I am in my late twenties now, and I love taking care of my skin. slowly age is showing its sighs on my skin by making it drier then it was before. I am a working woman who don’t have time to sit with a face mask on for 20 minutes, I don’t get time for regular parlor appointments. So with age and time not being on my side I need something for my skin which is more effective and faster and that is why I feel and I want to include serum in my skin care routine πŸ™‚

    I say a yes to Serum !!

  57. i have been using serum since the last one year and after using serum i do not feel the need to apply any other face cream or any products because it provides enough hydration for the skin, and i havnt yet tried clarins face serum but i would really love to try it and use it further. The main benefit of serum is that it contains many additional nutrients which a moisturizer cannot provide. It also penetrates to the deeper layers of our skin which a moisturizer or any other face cream is not able to achieve, no matter how good it is because a moisturizer has larger molecules than a serum which do not have enough penetrating power. serum is a powerful concentrated elixir of many valuable ingredients including vitamins and anti-oxidants that help to fight against ageing and correct the skin of spots and imperfections. Nowadays serums are divided according to the type of skin you have which is an added advantage.

    1. i will like the facebook page in the evening because right now i am in office and facebook doesnt open here. πŸ™

  58. liked the clarins’s page on fb..Serum is important as it is a repair product which works on deeper level in the skin..and a good serum can work wonders on skin.. everyone should follow it as a daily skincare routine..

  59. It helps in keeping skin hydrated and nourished Only a serum can penetrate the many layers of the skin it can add moisture and other ingredients much deeper into the skin.I am 36yrs and never used any anti ageing creams but i have started noticing alot of lines Dark spots so yes i would love the cute giveaways but would actually really like to try Clarins Double serum more Thanks!!!<3

  60. Serum is important for hydration that goes skin deep, it reduces a lot of beauty problems by penetrating into all the layers of skin, something moisturrizer just cannot do. Not only that, it is a long term solution to skin problems. Zits, scars, unevenness, you name it, serum is the go-to when all else fails! πŸ™‚
    Best bit is, it is great for people who have weird skin (like I do πŸ˜› ) – sensitive, combination and acne-prone skin!

  61. yes serum is important in our daily skin care routine as it opens pores n helps our skin to breathe !!!

  62. Serum is an important part of daily skin care routine because its is in more concentrated form and being in gel form it absorbs into skin better quickly and penetrates into deeper layers and gives faster and betters results.

  63. hi:)thanx fr d lovely giveaway.
    i think yes including a serum is very important though i vl bv fair to tell u dt i hvnt included it till now bt aftr i read ds giveaway i read d review as well as i read abt its importance also.it works wonders when used before moisturiser n after toner n dt too on damp skin.it can give good results evn if our basic CTM is nt providing enough results.
    i hv liked deir facebook page.again thanx fr giving me sm new knowledge.

  64. Very nice Giveaway πŸ™‚ I love IMBB πŸ™‚

    Ok my Answer is : Serums are important part of skin care routine as they are liquid, fast absorbing & light weight so that it can penetrate easily into the skin & deeply nourish/hydrate skin.Serums improves skin texture, restores skin radiance and fights wrinkles πŸ™‚
    Right now using Vitamin “C” serums & loving it ..thanks IMBB πŸ™‚

    Yaayyyy first time commenting for giveaway like this after being silent for so long πŸ˜€

  65. Serum and moisturizing is a necessity if you want that flawless and soft skin.
    Serum is good for all skin types majorly oily and combination the water based nature of the serum makes it easy and handy to use also the ingredients present in it makes it evidently an important skin care product.
    When any of your normal cosmetics or skincare doesnot show the results you expect, at those times, a Serum is a savior! πŸ™‚

  66. serum’s small molecular structure enables it to penetrate through three layers of the skin and hence gets absorbed into the deep skin layers quickly depositing skin nutrients and stimulating collagen production from the inside- out. Also they are great moisturizers, they give an up-lift to the skin have anti-inflammatory properties and soothe the skin.They are lightweight but very potent active ingredients; they contain ten times the active ingredients in comparison to creams and lotions- a real β€˜heavy duty’ product which gets very messy due to humidity in cities like mumbai ( ask me about it :(. It makes me feel as if I am melting lol. Serums also target the fine lines that map your face and visibly reduce them. They also help in overall improvement in their skin tone, skin brightness and skin smoothness with regular use. What else could you ask for ;)!! So ofcourse yes serums are a must for your daily skin care routine.

  67. Serum contains high levels of nourishing ingredients such as vitamins, amino acids, and essential oils that help restore moisture and elasticity to the skin while regulating oil production. It is aimed at solving a specific skin care complaint. The most common benefits include hydration, increased nourishment, brightening of the skin, and acne prevention. πŸ™‚ So i loved it

  68. Yeah I do agree that serum is very important in our skincare routine. There are many reasons for the same but the most important one is :
    It cleans, exfoliate and moisturize skin. Its Like Skin specialists, which can be used to cure wrinkles, firming, age spots and discolorations. Serums are much much far better then moisturizer and use of serum adds the new enthusiasm to my skin. πŸ™‚ xoxo πŸ™‚

  69. liked the page on fb….now to the reason why a Serum should be included… Using a face serum is a means of attacking various skin care problems deep below the surface of the skin. Merely using a moisturiser is not enough ( as it cannot penetrate all skin layers) , it is important to add serum in your skin care routine.
    In short “Serums act as specialists. They are formulated to address specific skin concerns such as wrinkles, firming, age spots and discolorations. Serums can address needs that aren’t covered by a moisturizer.”

  70. Liked the Clarins Facebook page
    My answer: Serums are very important for the skin care. They maintain skin’s healthy balance and add nutrients to the skin. Their ingredients are fast acting and are easily absorbed into the skin.

  71. Hey Rati and Sanjeev! Lovely giveaway! I have never tried a serum before but i know the benefits for sure.. i’ll keep it simple.
    Here goes:
    1. Serums are highly concentrated with nutrients and specific ingredients so one sees the effects sooner. (Aging, spots, pigmentaion, imperfections, brightness, hydration…they Target different needs)
    2. They have smaller molecules than normal moisturizer so they penetrate into the deeper layers more effectively.
    3. They are light weight so can be used easily by all skin types (special love for oily skin women)
    4. Only a very small quantity is required because it spreads nicely. So a bottle will go a long way.

  72. – honestly! you guys put up such cute, hassle-free giveaways that can be entered into while on-the-go.
    And yayyy! Some Clarins’ this time!
    I’ve come a long way from no moisturisers to a skin-apt moisturiser to toners included. And now it’s time for some Serum activity. I’m such a sneak for my mum’s vanity, such that the other day I decided to test the value of a serum using her anti-ageing one(at 22 that sounds Bad!) Tjough it was just a one-time thing, but I definitely could feel something different post-application. the moisturiser was absorbed better, skin felt so much more smoother, satin, minimal pores(I have huge ‘porous’ issues :p), and my foundation was gliding on like a dream, and stayed intact. And my skin looked better after I removed my makeup(it looks like a wheat field usually!)

    Also, serums are usually more concentrated than regular moisture variants and seep through to couter-act whatever isseues it be from the epidermal layer. Hnece, quick results, better doses. They work to protect your skin from all those extra layers of makeup you have to put up to prep, no? Night-hour serums usually are far more effective thatn creams due to high levels of component concentrates in a more raw form and without a base layer. hence, a more better working. So, yes serums are on the top of my to-have list for 2013! πŸ™‚

  73. serum in v imp part of my mothers daily skin care routine.
    wer else u get such a great blend of all the active ingredients working perfectly for flawless skin.
    anti aging.. check
    flawless skin .. check
    nourishment.. check
    my mom loves it but coz my skimpy pocket money, i not able to gift her…
    IMBB plzzz help me… <3<3

  74. it helps to protect your hair from heat and other damages. serum is as important as conditioner. serum add extra shine to your hair. and you can feel its effect on your own.

  75. Oh and i never knew it was pronunced “klahrans”!! I was aaraam se calling it kla-rins only πŸ˜›
    The things you learn here at imbb!! πŸ™‚

  76. For me serum helps keep my skin hydrate and maintains an essential balance to prevent it from damage. To nourish my skin and save the same from early aging, spots and pigmentation i like to add this in my routine to save my youth for next few years.

  77. Serums are a miracle product to use and important part of proper skin care as they are used to brighten the skin, to prevent ageing, acne, etc

  78. Dermatologically speaking the very best way to get better results from your skin care products is to use a serum but personally speaking what’s more important is WHEN AND HOW to use it.I use lots of serums … i start off with a serum to prepare the skin to better absorb the products that follow and Every evening, use Serum again in the last step of skincare to massage the temples, the side of your nose, the back of your ears, and the center of your forehead.

  79. a serum is a sort of concentrated skin treatment, most creams and conditioners either have too low concentrations of their effective ingredients or are not absorbed easily.a serum solves that problem.it get absorbed in a jiffy,has the right concentration of nutrients so it shows effect faster.so a serum really is important for glowing glowing skin πŸ™‚

  80. Love u IMBB

    Liked the facebook page…..

    Serum are light weight so can be used easily by all skin types. It can deliver antioxidants such as vitamin C or it can exfoliate, which not only brightens your complexion but also improves the absorption of your moisturizer. So apply a serum to your clean, dry face, wait three to five minutes till it’s absorbed, and then put on your moisturizer. Applying a serum doesn’t block a moisturizer’s absorption. They work to protect your skin from all those extra layers of makeup. Serum is a must have item for every beauty in all age…

  81. liked the fb page already…..
    coming to the answer

    yes. serums are very important in skin care routines not just because of their property to penetrate deeper than a normal moisturiser beacuse they are made specifially for in regard with each and vey skin porblem out there and the solution for it. they are perfect protectors and people who live in cities and who are prone to face pollution than normal towns need better protection from the sun as well since pollution increases the sun effects. they are super absorbing work faster than any mask or treatment we may use in parlours since there is agp in each sitting we do in parlours. and the ingedients used mostly are harmless and directly concentrate on that particular problem without getting any side effects. they are moisturising as well and are a great makeup base since the skin gets super soft regenerated and smooth giveing the perfect platform. and using along with a ctm helps in better penetration. i highly recommend serums and i personally use serums more than moisturisers. they really can change your skin for the better if you find your perfect serum as i did in mine.

    coming to hairs….it is the same as in more protection, damage repair, nourishment, regenerating…beauty of course…..

  82. Yes, I do think including a serum in our skincare routine is very important as it helps to rejuvenate our skin and keeps it healthy and young forever..

  83. obviously YES…!!! including SERUM in our daily skin care routine is important and I want this πŸ™‚

    Applying serum on our skin boost moisture. Serums are light, but they have very concentrated levels of ingredients that make them ideal for absorption. Serum provide moisturising and to protect our skin from the dehydrating effect of Winter. usually the serum contains ingredients such as vitamins, amino acids, and essential oils that help restore moisture and elasticity to the skin while regulating oil production… so having serum is must.

    hope to win πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

    so many comm

  84. Yes! I believe it is important adding serums for a perfect skincare routine since they are a more targeted part of the routine and are strong and full of active ingredients. They work on deeper level and are usually created for specialist needs such as added hydration, acne or aging. They really can make a huge difference to the look and feel of your skin.

  85. CLARINS All for you XOXOXO!!!
    So, starting from what the product is all about…
    A serum contains concentrated active ingredients. According to a cosmetic chemist, Serums act as specialists. They are formulated to address specific skin concerns such as wrinkles, firming, age spots and discolorations. Serums can address needs that aren’t covered by a moisturizer.

    Yes i do think that serums are very vital for skin as to these serums are mainly used to provide moisture and nourishment to the skin. This have the potential to cure many common skin conditions, including discoloration, redness, wrinkles, acne sagging skin, fine lines, dark spots, and facial dehydration.

  86. Hi IMBBians… Hope I win this one !!!
    Including a serum in one’s daily skin routine is important as its is much more effective than a normal moisturizing lotion/crcream. A serum is more concentrated than a moisturizer and thus reaches deep into the skin’s layer. It provides deep hydration which an ordinary moisturiser might fail to achieve. Thus, a serum adds that extra zing to the skin. The skin will not only love it but will ‘hum’ to it and you will looooove the heads you turn when out !!! (Of admiration and envy!!!)

  87. Yes,including a serum in the skin care routine should be an absolute essential for all 20+ .
    That minuscule dose of serum into the skin everyday helps it sink in the nourishment required for the day and maintain the collagen synthesis for this sense organ.Also,as we all know a good serum will always help in achieving a healthy glow,even complexion and fairly smooth skin.

  88. Including serums in our daily CTM routine is a must, so much that we r calling it a CTSM routine now. Serums are generally lighter in texture than moisturizers, so they get absorbed easily. They may also have a higher concentration of active ingredients compared to moisturizers. I love using serums cuz its FAST and EFFECTIVE!! πŸ˜€ And thats such a great benefit for the people like me, who are always running late and need to get ready very quickly in the mornings. A drop of serum and i feel good all day that i have provided my skin with the nutrition it needs πŸ˜€

    Serums, for the win! \m/

  89. Wowwiee…This just brightened up my day. I have loved to try Clarins product since the time i read Rati’s review. Moreover i have normal to dry skin.. But feared that it would put a bit of dent in my wallet…

    Serum is much more important than our normal moisturizers since it penetrates deep into the skin layers thereby giving quick and visible results. But these serums should be carefully selected depending what our skin requires. If we have acne and dull skin then we should opt for skin brightening and anti-acne serums. And i guess it is better not late to prevent signs of aging. Serums give significantly longer term results and a little goes a long way. It is rich in formulation by having 20 plant extracts which are completely organic and safe for our skin. So i guess there would be no side effects. Every one would love to have radiant skin and using serum formulated skin care products would be more beneficial and if it is double serum then it is all the way multi-effective giving double the results. If dark spots, pigmented and uneven skin tone, pores, wrinkles are erased by using serum then it should certainly be a part of our skin care routine.

  90. A thin layer of serum applied evenly on face immediately after cleaning d face n before moisturisation results in improved skin texture because it can penetrate deep into the skin….it imparts a healthy glow,minimizes pores n acts as a tonic for the skin if used for a long time…usually it is light in texture so doesnot cause breakouts..

  91. Yes Serums are important. With hectic life style, busy routines, pollutants, chemicals and bad eating habits out skin get depleted of many vitamins and gradually there effects start showing up in form of dull skin, patches, spots, fine lines, wrinkles etc. Most of cosmetics and skin care products work on surface whereas serums penetrates into layers of skin and replenish required vitamins. So your skin needs to be healthy from inside.

  92. Liked FB page..
    Ans – Yes
    Reason – I feel including a serum in your skincare routine is important because of all the comments above. Honestly, i did not know importance of a serum before this post.
    Thanks to all IMBBians… πŸ™‚

  93. Hi Guys, Serum is very important to use be it an antiageing or skin lighting or for radiance, their are various kind of serum available in the market , one should apply serum after cleansing and toning and before moisturiser, make sure to avoid the eye area as eye serum are different than the face serum. Never use serum alone during the day without the moisturiser as it may harm the skin because the basic work of serum to repair our skin concern and during day their are lots of wear and tear happens due to various harmful factors.
    But in the night one can use it without the night cream if you dont want to spend on night creams. Guys always make it a point to use the same company moisturiser as the ingredients match with eachother to provide better benefits , Some time if you use different company moisturiser and serums than it might give your skin reaction and you have nobody to blame……. In short serum are best buy but never forget daily skin care regime:)

  94. Lovely giveaway Rati/ Sanjeev!

    I would say that using a serum is important because a facial serum helps to get added nutrients into the deeper layers of your skin that a regular moisturizer is not able to reach. While serums deposit nutrients as well as moisture, moisturizers are meant to deposit moisture and hydration for your skin.

  95. First of all want to tell you it’s question is very interesting as you asked,so its my opinion is serum is very important because our life is very hectic life style, busy routines, pollutants, chemicals and bad eating habits so there effects start showing up in form of dull skin, patches, spots, fine lines, wrinkles etc. so serum is good for skincare.

    thanks

  96. yes i think serum is important to be included in daily skin routine as it provides extra hydration to the skin making it smooth,blemish free and supple..It acts as a specialist. As moisturiser alone cannot fulfil every requirement of our skin,there comes our hero..;D By using serum we can protect our skin from wrinkles,fine lines,dark circles,spots and other signs of ageing.

  97. wow..thats a grt giveaway..
    well,i think its is very important to use a serum in our skin care regimen no matter if you are in earlly 20s or older.Serum are considered to be important for those who are ageing but i completely detest this as we all need special care and in this environment that is full of dust,pollution..everyone is prone to getting adverse effects.
    it is definitely more than a moisturizer as a moisturizer only helps in hydrating the skin but a serum is a concentrated formula that easily gets absorbed by the skin and has other benefits of improving skin tone,pigmentation marks,dark spots,etc.(loreal youth code did all that for me!!!).It has anti oxidants,vitamins and today each brand is coming up with more beneficial serum.I myself use serum twice a day.It is the most important part of my night skin care and i have the the results so i completely recommend everyone to go ahead and have one serum in there skin care routine.You will surely see the results…

  98. great giveaway πŸ™‚ ive used only 2 clarins products so far n really liked them – their sunscreen and hydraquench cream melt! would love to try more of clarins πŸ™‚
    yes a serum is very important for the skin ! i feel so because serums penetrate the skin in a way that moisturizers never can!a serum contains properties of a moisturizer in a much more concentrate form! so serums are beneficial especially when u r targetting some certain result, like anti-acne, anti-ageing etc! and its important to match the serum with ur skin type!

  99. Hi all,

    I haven’t included a serum in my SkinCare routine,but its high time that I do! THe truth is , serums are usually quite expensive , so its a tough task going out there and “experimenting” with them,and so I am a little reluctant in trying out , especially because I have sensitive , acne prone skin!

    As far as their effects are concerned , serums basically fast track your skin care, as they are in more concentrated form and therefore are more effective than their counterparts!Be it Anti Ageing , Skin Brightening or Anti Ageing, there is a serum for every need out there πŸ™‚ I agree with most of the comments up there, City Life is harsh and you need that “extra” something to keep your skin looking beautiful ! Well , I’m looking forward to using a good serum πŸ™‚ Maybe I can get my hands on some samples some day , and I’ll be trying them out !Looking forward to using some good serums and enjooying Happy Skin Days!

  100. yes i think serum is important for our skin. serum provides extra hydration to the skin makin it smooth,blemish free and supple. moisturiser alone cannot fulfil every nourishment that our skin needs,,here comes our hero.;D serum acts as a specialists. By using serum we can protect our skin from wrinkles,,fine lines,dark spots and many other signs of ageing.

  101. Yes, including a Serum in your skincare routine is important, infact it is one of my top five essentials of a daily skincare routine.

    I’m in my late 20s and consider Serums to be my skincare superhero! Serums are lightweight, absorbed better into the skin, suitable for nearly every skin type, and packed with the highest concentrations of active ingredients to target every anti-aging concern.

    P.S. I would love love love to try Clarins Double Serum. : )

  102. Yes, including serums in your skincare routine makes all the difference because serums are more concentrated and potent than your regular creams and lotions, and penetrate deeper into layers of your skin.

    This makes them much more efficient in making a difference to your skin. Choosing your serum completely depends on what you want to achieve from it – brightening, anti ageing, hydration or clear skin.

    Yes serums are relatively expensive, but usually a little goes a long way and if you find the right serum, the effects are priceless!

    I’ve only recently started using serums, and I am never going back! πŸ™‚

    Stay beautiful! <3

    Love,
    Nidhi

  103. me want only the samples :):) cos for my skin which is a combination type, I would not want to risk picking up a full fledged serum pack including the cleanser without knowig whether it will work on my skin more so since serums are so much concentrated than regular moisturizers. I would honestly want someone else to win it.

    But on this topic – serums are required for that added avantage of providing nutrients to your skin which is today’s age is so required. With the Weather getting extreme in any part of the world that we are in, any help we can get in making our skin look better would be most welcome i think.

    Good luck to all those whose are participating..

  104. yes the use of serum is very important in daily use to keep skin hydrated to make it live and breathe. it makes skin soft, smooth and clean. the use of serum helps the skin to breathe properly and freely as in today’s modern life it is very difficult to handle our profession study with the care of us and our skin. it helps in our busy scheduled to give time for our skin care and helps to fight with dust, pollution etc. so i advice and i self use a serum in my day to day routine for my skin care.

  105. Yes, serums are really very important for our skin and should include it in our skincare routine because:
    *Serums are liquid treatments high in concentrated ingredients specifically used to treat skin problems such as redness, fine lines, discoloration, and dehydration. The difference between a regular moisturizer versus a serum is the potency of its active ingredients: facial moisturizers and lotions contain less than 10 percent active ingredients while a serum contains anywhere from 10percent to 70 percent. These highly concentrated active ingredients or nutrients are fast acting and are easily absorbed into the skin. Bear in mind that these active ingredients will fluctuate from serum to serum, depending on what the purpose of the serum is and what skin type it was formulated for.*

  106. Amazing giveaway !!!!!!!
    Here’s the answer :

    Serums are generally light and extremely concentrated. They protects against environmental damage and naturally stimulates skin’s collagen production.
    While it may seem like just another form of moisturizer(which sit on the surface of the skin), serums are more potent than your average anti-aging cream.
    They do their job better (like penetrating vitamins, antioxidants deeper into the skin to many layers) as they are formulated with smaller molecules than the moisturiser.
    They tackle various complexion concerns. So this is why you should spend more on serums. πŸ™‚
    You definately get for what u have paid …a younger looking skin in the matter of minutes. πŸ™‚

  107. Serums are usually concentrated formulations, which deliver quick results. Creams can end up being greasy and may take much longer to give visible results, plus their base may be loaded with unnecessary ingredients which don’t do much good to our skin. So yeah, serums should be a part of our skin care routine. Better to invest in a good quality serum first. Good glowing skin will look beautiful even without slathering much makeup on.. πŸ™‚

  108. Thank u Sanjeev & Rati for this cute giveaway…

    I love CLARINS..

    I personally use serums over heavy creams in my skin care routine..as its more concentrated and fights against any skin problem,like dark spots,pigmentation or un even skin tone..It absorbs quickly,makes your skin supple and gives a smooth finish..

    LOVE IMBB…

  109. I have just crossed 30 and have a well behaved, spotless, youthful skin and I want to retain the same for years to come. I am obsessed with the mirror and want to look and feel beautiful, I guess we all want to look good at least in our own eyes. I believe in aging gracefully because none can ever win a battle with ageing. However with the present climatic conditions, pollutions, life style, stress we tend to lose the battle of ageing. Fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, dullness set in as early as late 20’s.
    Exercising regularly, maintaining a proper diet and lifestyle alone won’t help much in the ageing process. There is a need of some external skin care where a simple moisturizer is not effective. Here we need something extra with more targeted action and the answer to the extra thing is – A serum. Serums are higher concentration of active Ingredients, with deeper penetration, faster, more effective and targeted action. Based on skin type serums generally come in Gel or creams base.
    I am beautiful if I feel so. The judge of my beauty is my own eyes. If I look young and beautiful, I feel beautiful and I believe that I am BEAUTIFUL. So serums now play a very active part in my skincare. Serums help me in retain my youthful skin and my skin tells me that I am beautiful and young.

  110. Yes, including a serum in our daily skincare routine is very necessary. Serums treat many skin conditions like loosening of skin muscles, acne and pimple marks, hyperpigmentation. Serums penetrate much deeper into our skin which the general creams cannot. Serums act directly on the derma layer, so the results are achieved faster. Currently I’m using Lotus Whiteglow Serum daily and I’m quite happy with it.

  111. Yess … Serums are Intensive anti-ageing treatment that helps in keeping our skin hydrate and nourished providing visibly youthful look: firmer skin, visibly reduced wrinkles, more even complexion and less visible pores.

  112. First of all a very big Thank you to Clarins’ for such a cute and supercool giveaway……:).

    YES Including SERUM in our daily skincare routine is important. Serum gets absorbed easily into the skin b’coz of its small molecular structure, which penetrates three layers of skin depositing skin nutrients. Also they are usually made for specialist needs like hydration, acne, ageing. Serums uplift the skin, are anti-inflammatory and soothing to skin. Their ingredients are active and light-weight and contain anti-stress elements that help the skin. They target fine lines on our skin and visibly reduce them. Regular use of serum can improve skin tone , skin brightness and skin smoothness.

  113. Using Serum is not a new thing, but it has only come into light now in the last few years. I believe a serum is an important added step in the daily CTM routine, since it works on those skin aspects where the moisturizers and toners lag behind. So unlike moisturizers, serums deliver added nutrients and vitamins more rapidly and deeply into the skin’s epidermal layers for long-lasting results.

  114. claRinSSSSSSSSSSSSSS…!!!!! HURAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
    I Feel serums improve the skin from bottom layers unlike others so it would beneficial for skin….

  115. First of all a very big thank you to Clarins’ for such a cute and supercool giveaway…..:).

    YES Including SERUM in our daily skincare routine is important. Serum gets absorbed into the skin easily b’coz of it’s small molecular structure which penetrates three layers of skin depositing skin nutrients and stimulating collagen production from inside out. Also, they are made for specialist needs like hydration, acne, ageing. Not only this they uplift the skin, are anti-inflammatory and soothing to skin. Their ingredients are light weight, active and contain anti stress elements that helps the skin. Regular use of Serum can show improvement in skin tone, skin brightening and skin smoothness. And we need to apply only a small amount of serum ( advantage).

  116. First of all I want to say that I’ve become an ardent fan of this site. Whenever I’ve to buy any cream or face wash I try to find it’s review here. After reading the review I decide whether I wuld buy it or not. So a big thank you to all.
    Now my answer to your question is:
    serum is a very effective skin care product. It is a concentrated product which goes deep into our skin and make it look glowing. So serums are a must have for all ladies.

  117. First of all a huge hug for the IMBB team n Clarins for giving your fans the opportunity to try out such wonderful skincare……
    Even though majority of us follow the CTM routine religiously I feel a serum should be incorporated in the regimen to experience the full benefits of the routine.Why?Because a serum has a much higher percentage of active ingredients than our normal moisturizer and because of its comparatively thinner consistency it effortlessly penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin and can deliver the intended benefits to all skin types be it hydration,extra nourishment,brightening,combating acne ,anti aging and what not….Moreover they are non pore clogging and continuous use can even reverse years of skin damage to reveal more youthful looking skin-So its time to say a big Hiiiiii to serums if you are looking forward to a revitalized and more youthful you!!!

  118. I have been using serum from past few months on my problematic skin and I feel its a boon to my skin care regimen. It is not only for the problematic skin people but it is a must for everyone as we all are in constant contact with the external environment and our skin is also significantly affected by internal factors like our health and lifestyle

    Skin serums moisturize, uplift the skin, are anti-inflammatory and soothing to the skin. They have an anti-stress element which helps the skin. While most moisturizers and other face creams only contain 5–10% of active ingredients, a face serum can contain up to 70% active ingredients (vitamins, antioxidants, plant extracts). These potent products are able to deliver a much greater concentration of nutrients deeper into the skin.

    Using a face serum has the double benefit of feeding the skin healthy, hydrating nutrients without clogging pores . You can notice an overall improvement in skin tone, skin brightness and skin smoothness with regular use of serum

    Time to have the clear radiant skin we have always wanted!!!!

    I have liked the fb page too πŸ™‚

  119. Thank you IMBB and CLARINS for this wonderful opportunity. Yes Serum is an integral part of daily skin care routine after a certain age. I believe Serum is a miracle nectar that penetrates revitalizes and enhances cell renewal and regeneration process revealing a youthful and radiant appearance with prolonged use.
    Its the fountain to youth in short after all Prevention is Better than Cure .

  120. First of all thanks a ton IMBB and Clarins for this supacool giveaway :).

    Secondly I am also an ardent believer in using serums since I have a few skin spots and serum works wonders on those. The simple reason being, they act more like a specialist does. They can mend the skin issues which cannot be solved by merely using moisturizers. They are formulated to deal with specific skin problems like wrinkles, toning, spots, discolorations, etc. It directly acts on the problems which lies deep below the outer layer of the skin. The sheer liquids are highly concentrated with various nourishing active ingredients like vitamins, plant extracts, essential oils, etc. which assists in restoring the moisture level as well as brings back the skin-elasticity which we lose due to aging. It also boosts up the skin’s capacity of natural oil production. While usually the moisturizers as well as other skin creams contains merely 5–10 percentage of active ingredients, a face serum may be made of about 70 percent active components. These effective products are competent in providing much better nourishment through a concentration of ingredients, deeper into your skin.

  121. Have liked the FB page. I have not done too much research on serums, but as I am growing older, I look forward to learning more about what I can do to care best for my skin. As with every product, I guess trial and error is what helps!

  122. i have never used a serum before, never felt the need. am just 20 right now so maybe when i cross over 25 i might need one. i did hear though that serums are great and work best when applied before going to bed as the skin in being rejuvenated then. By the way this is an awesome giveaways that you guys are doing. Keep up you guys. absolutely lovely package. and since am writing right now i just want to add that your guys reviews are the best ever. very accurate with best description of the product. i completely trust you guys now.keep it up too.:)

  123. Yes, I do think serum should be an essential part of our daily skincare routine. Serums are packed with active ingredients and they provide deeper nutrition to our skin. Unlike moisturisers, they are made up of relatively smaller molecules which can penetrate into all three layers of our skin, thus providing required nutrition from within.

  124. Yes, I do think serum should be an essential part of our daily skincare routine. Serums are packed with active ingredients and they provide deeper nutrition to our skin. Unlike moisturisers, they are made up of relatively smaller molecules which can penetrate into all three layers of our skin, thus providing required nutrition from within. Also, the higher level of active ingredients make them much more effective than any skincare product.

  125. Hi All,
    Not to deliver too much gyaan but simply put, serums are like skin elixirs! It is good to include serums into daily skincare as they deliver a burst of active nutrients and penetrate the deepest of skin layers. Hence they are more potent than normal creams and show faster results. Easily absorbed and non greasy, they improve the skin tone and keep it healthy and glowing. That being said serums are also expensive for the above reasons and this might be a deterrent for many to include serums into their daily skin regimen.

  126. As I head towards turning 30, I know that my skin requires a lot more than just a cleanser, toner and moisturizer, incorporating a serum into my routine would ensure my skin stays young for longer by not only delaying the damage to my skin and rejuvenating it but repairing the daily wear and tear that occurs due to exposure to the sun and pollution that makes it dull and dry. Clarins Double Serum is a proven product which guarantees amazing results and I’d love to win this cute little hamper and try it for myself. Really looking forward to winning some super great goodies. ^_^

  127. <3 <3 IMBB and CLARINS πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€
    In ma attempt to win these cute lill bagsss….
    Why SERUM – dey are like the Liquide Treatment coz it helps you fight dark spots, acne and fine lines (Guess even more than this…), they are thin n slippry (which is amazzzzng) and a few little drops does wonders spreading from hairline to neck and Voila… unlike moisturizers they penetrate deep into the skin and heal it inside-out, where as the moisturizer keeps sitting on the skin.. and also it gets added nutrients into deeper layers of the skin that a regular moisturizer is not able to reach, useing it daily makes our skin smooth and leaves it revitalised…. Including it in the daily skin care regime makes the skin feel fresh and lively and (fingers crossed) it keeps you youthful (who wants to see the signs of ageing)…mostly serums are designed to work on the skin at night when your epidermis is in repair mode…

    Hence for a beautiful lively healthy Skin…. say Helooooo SERUM!!!!

  128. Hello everyone !
    I have come to believe after having read many posts here at IMBB that including a serum in our skincare routine is essential.

    Generally, serums are targeted to tackle specific problems and here the product in question
    ‘Clarins double serum’ combines two powerful age-defying serums into one optimum balance to help fight all aspects of visible ageing. Helping us stay younger, longer !

    And that is precisely why i would like to win it for my mom (who is suffering from ageing of skin and pigmentation) needs this kind of a serum from Clarins which is of international repute and IMBB recommended !

  129. Yes, serums should be a part of the skin care routine because where the moisturizers fail to reach a serum works there, A serum has tiny molecules which penetrates the skin faster and goes till the essential layers of the skin where as a moisturizer has bigger molecules which only works on the surface of the skin. Serums give better hydration to the facial skin which results in radiance and a even tone of the skin!

  130. serum is the wonderful product which i use it on my face.as i have oily skin i prefer water based serum.once i put the serum on my face then i start with the makeup.and once i m done with it i could see the shine on my face.i cant even think of going without product.so i think this is the perfect product which every girl should have in her kitty.

  131. Yes, I do feel our skin requires a serum, especially ageing skin. Serums are essential in our beauty vanities as they have loads of benefits for our skin. The fact that they can permeate & get absorbed into the deep layers of the skin, rather than just working superficially on the skin, gives wonderful & lasting results. Skin serums are concentrated with the best nutrients & vitamins to counteract and prevent an array of problems that our skin faces today. There are a multitude of serums available today that focus on various skin issues such as signs of aging, acne, pigmentation, etc. Hence, I feel that including a good skin regimen that involves serums to suit our skin along with a diet rich with fruits & veggies will surely reflect in healthy, glowing skin.

  132. Thank you….i mean to indebt you wid ma gratitude so dat to unburden yourself ull drop d hamper in ma hands….hehehehe….so here goes to d mere essentiality…
    Yes….
    coz….its d concentrated cocktail of important ingredients delivered directly to the deeper layers of skin…which enhances the effect.
    And only a serum can penetrate the many layers of the skin. Other skin care products usually have larger molecules than a serum, and therefore might only work on the surface of the skin, whereas a serum with its tiny molecules can add moisture and other ingredients much deeper into the skin.

  133. I have recently got a chance of using Clarins Hydraquench Intensive Serum Bi-Phase and it worked magic on my extremely dry skin in winters. It gave me soft and supple skin. My skin was hydrated well and it worked for my skin. It is part of my daily routine now and I would love win this giveaway and pamper my skin πŸ™‚

  134. Thank you for the awesome give away…!

    Serums are like a skin elixir…they are very important as they penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin giving it more nourishment. They are highly effective way to maintain, prolong or bring back your natural glow. Although, being non sticky it leaves the skin moisturised hydrated and glowing:-)

    1. Also They have active ingredients that are highly concentrated hence acts faster. All theese reasons make these potions a must have in your skin care regimen. Liked the FB page:-)

  135. yes, including a good serum in my daily hair care routine is extremely essential because :
    1. Its healthy for the hair
    2. Makes it look neat and fabulous
    3. A good hair day makes my day!!!

  136. yes offcourse..including a serum is definitely ver important for ur skin care routine..it acts lyk giving a more definition to ur routine..everybdy loves to hav a flawless skin n v leave no stone unturn to achieve dat longlasting glow..serum is of paramount importance as they easily permeate through the skin n acts deep into the skin pores eradicating the skin problem right from its roots..not only this bt as far as i hav read abt clarins double serum, it is both hydric n lipidic..(v can avail two benefits from a single serum)..it revatilizes the skin functions and help our skin look younger n fresher for ages..serums are absorbed very easily by the skin n hence v dnt feel a layer on our face while sleeping at nght..i make sure i always apply n message 2-3 pumps of serum on my face evry night..despyt of my age is jst 20 bt still i hav started taking precautions so that i can retain my young n fresh look for years..

  137. Serums are a definite “YES” for Skin! Serums being concentrated, provide the skin with all the nutrition packed in it. Serums penetrate the deepest layer of the skin and work from the inside to give the skin a nourished and a healthy look. Serums ensure that the moisturizer and other skin care products applied over it, benefit the skin to the maximum.

  138. Hey such an awesome giveaway.. as for the answer…serums are a very important step in your skincare routine…their combination of ingredients make sure they are light and are absorbed into the skin quickly..they penetrate throughout and make your skin get all the benefits. Serums are used for various properties. .like depending on their ingredients..anti aging, fairness, basic care etc. .. I really want this one …:):):)

  139. Heya Guys, Straight to the Point…….
    I think Serums are just Multi-purpose Concentrated Skin Food. And I think Keeping the skin void of its food even after we put our skin through tortures like junk n greasy food, Tons of make up, The Pollution is as good as committing a sin! Serums are one step for everything, Moisturizing, Protecting, Anti-ageing, Smoothing, Soothing, Lightening, Brightening… etc etc.. And even BOTOX if used regularly! I am fan of Serums…..though Costly i think if owe this much to our skin!
    Also, our oh-so-pretty-Mommies , i don’t know why are a bit neglected towards serums n skin care, so i want this delicious & awesome Gift Pack For my Dearest MOMMY!!!
    PS: I really hope I done enough to get this cute CLARINS Gift Pack! *Fingers Crossed*

  140. Serum is important in daily routine because
    it deeply & instantly moisturizes your skin, gets absorbed easily, Provides Intense nourishment, prevents ageing.
    Its an ultimate moisturisation choice for dry & extra dry skin.
    it has the ability to penetrate into the deepest skin level unlike other creams, due to its texture.
    Serums give quicker results, repairing your skin.

  141. Wow clarins my favourite brand in skin care , it’s hydra quench cream is a must have for me
    I think serums are must have part for skin care now a days because its more of a problem solver product and it complements your day to day skin care . It makes wonders in no time so they are definitely a must have :):):)

  142. whoaa… yayy! thanks so much IMBB and Clarins for this giveaway!
    In my opinion, serum is important because of its restorative and repairing properties. it replenishes moisture into the skin, and delays signs of ageing. Any damage done to the skin during the day due to exposure to pollutants is also repaired by the use of serum. Also, in the long run, serums help in preventing damage to the skin because of all the factors listed above.

    Fingers crossed! πŸ˜€

  143. Wow, I had to scroll so much to reach this comments section! Well first of all – great giveaway! Ok now to my answer

    Till recently I had seen a lot of serums in the skin care range and always thought them to be those pricey things meant only for celebrities – things that are simply a huge marketing gimmick – and then I finally got to try one serum (not from Clarins unfortunately) but good nevertheless – that is when I found that serums can be really good for sensitive combination skinned people like me – a) they are not heavy in texture, b) they are a concentration of all the goodness that can be packed into a single skin care product – hence if you find the right serum for your skin it can actually make a great difference.

    I hope I get to try out the much talked about serum from Clarins soon!

  144. Hi nice giveaway from IMBB.
    I don’t have enough knowledge about skin care products, how they work on skin, their formulations, what actually they do with your skin? like other girls I have little knowledge about them is they makes your skin nice.
    Serum is another skincare product that helps your skin in many ways.
    1 Nourishes your skin
    2 Recover your skin from daily wear and tear due to dirt or bad weather
    3 Serum works under the skin which makes your skin better than other creams
    4 It help your skin to be soft, supple and radiant

    6 It work as an anti ageing cream
    Thanks for giveaway

  145. With my very little knowledge, serum usage is vital as it has concentrated moisturizing properties which is so much more than our everyday cream / moisturizer. Basically helps fight ageing.!

  146. Yes using a serum is super important in skin care routine, it helps keep the fine lines away leaving your skin smooth, clear, soft and nourished. It makes me feel beautiful.

  147. Yes itz vry imp coz it make ur skin satin smooth n which we girls love it it can prevent ur skin getting dry n getting those white marks (when u scratch) make us skin glow πŸ™‚

  148. at 20’s we ignore our skin, we have skin care regime like sunscreen and moisturizing but that is not enough. This i have realized in my 30’s, although am new to 30’s but can see the difference in my skin, pigmentation, open pores, white heads and what not.

    A serum is useful as it balances and even outs the skin tone, it is the perfect base before the sun cream routine and night serums help us to rejunivate the skin while we are sleeping.

  149. Done…the process. Love the giveaway.. πŸ™‚
    Serum is like food for our skin. It gives all necessary ingredients, moisturize,clean and rejuvenate skin that enhance beauty cells of the skin and leads to gorgeous never fading beauty and glow if used properly. Other i will tell after using Clarins πŸ™‚

    I never used this brand..but love to use it when i will get and review too on my blog. First time participating in beauty product giveaway.. Hope x finger crossed.

  150. Waow clarins!!!!!!
    Well yes serums are important in our skin care routine
    Because it adds instant radiance to our skin, it penetrates deep into our skin layers and the fluid is light as well has fast absorbing ability..

    So serums are no fuss to use nd super cool formula for anti ageing and glow….

  151. I use a serum regularly as it helps reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. It brightens my skin. It helps the moisturiser penetrate deeply into the skin. This is a must have in everyone’s daily CTM routine. A lot of people still do not know what is a Serum and why is it important to use.

  152. thanx a lot 2 IMBB & clarins for this superb giveaway… :)… i am a silent reader of IMBB..:)
    Skin serums moisturize, uplift the skin, are anti-inflammatory and soothing to the skin. They have an anti-stress element which helps the skin. Serums target the fine lines that map our face and visibly reduce them… i think these are the most important features of a serum.. πŸ™‚

  153. At the cost of repitition of Sanjeev’s words:

    Why Clarins double serum for ME:

    I am gravitating more and more towards cute and painless serums. I want to do very little in my skin care, have fun, and win loads of prizes. Not surprisingly, I use skincare serums only from companies that are fun to experiment with. Clarins (pronounced klahrans, as I recently learnt) is one such fun company. After Rati reviewed the Clarins Double Serum, I wanted to win this nice and sweet giveaway!

    gimme maaaa seeeeraaaaam!!

  154. Yes I think including a serum in skincare routine is very important bcoz skin serums moisturize, uplift the skin, are anti-inflammatory and soothing to the skin. They have an anti-stress element which helps the skin. They are packed with lightweight but very potent active ingredients; they contain ten times the active ingredients in comparison to creams and lotions- a real β€˜heavy duty’ product πŸ™‚ . Serums target the fine lines that map your face and visibly reduce them. Overall improvement in the skin tone, skin brightness and skin smoothness with regular use of serums is usually noticed. It gets absorbed into the deep skin layers quickly. This happens because of a serum’s small molecular structure which enables it to penetrate through three layers of the skin depositing skin nutrients and stimulating collagen production from the inside- out.

    There are a basic three types – Vitamin E serum, Vitamin C serum and collagen serum. Skin serums prove to be a smart choice when you want to layer products on your skin. As these products are much lighter in feel and texture you could use them in combination- use one serum for skin sensitivity and layer the other for age spots. They are oil free – great choice for oily skin.

    If your skin is mature or is displaying signs of premature aging, is too oily or too dry then adding a skin serum to your routine is a good idea. You can also begin using a skin serum to delay the signs of aging especially if you are exposed to a lot of sun, pollution and other environmental agents such as smoke and dust.

  155. yes, because only a serum can penetrate the many layers of the skin and a serum with its tiny molecules can add moisture and other ingredients much deeper into the skin

  156. Including a serum in a skincare routine is important because it not just helps in a temporary glow for skin but also helps in nourishing it in the long run so it gives us the double benefit of outer coverage of skin for the present and correcting the inner layers of skin for the future. So in my opinion investing in a good serum would definitely help in an effective skincare routine for obtaining a perfect skin with zero blemishes. And Love you Clarins πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

  157. Yaay.. An awesome giveaway.. Thank you IMBB.. Such giveaways are a boon to girls like me who doesnt have access to such high end brands in our hometown.. I so would like to try clarins products.. So here goes my entry..
    From what I have experienced and what I hav learnt, serums are definitely an essential part of our skincare routine..
    * They are light weight and non-greasy and therefore provide adequate moisturisation for oily skinned beauties like me.. I can skip the moisturiser if I want to..
    *Since serums penetrate deeper into the skin layers than a regular moisturiser, they are more effective and show results faster..

  158. ofcourse serum makes my hairs much smoother dan only shampooing…it gives a radiance nd bounce to.hairs….as well as moisture…for skin also it rehydrates leavng smoothness…

  159. a hair wash is incomplete without serum….DO use to protect your precious locks!!!!!The liquid does transform your hair from dull and rough to shiny and manageable in a matter of seconds!!! It makes the hair reflect more light, thus making it shine more, and protects it from external factors such as dust, heat and humidity. It is the lubrication provided by the liquid which helps untangle hair making it manageable.

    face serums are important too..they are extremely concentrated, which is part of why so little is needed. They are also made of very small molecules, which allows them to penetrate deeply into the skin, smoothing and healing from the inside out….
    so both play an important role….in their own respect….:) use them and keep glowing…:)

  160. Hi πŸ™‚ I think including serum is important especially since I am getting older and my skin is not getting any younger. It needs that extra bit of help along the way and I find good serums very useful to keep the skin look toned and pretty.
    ps- I had no idea Clarins was pronounced as klahrans. thank you for that. psssttt anyone know what Mango is pronounced as? A friend told me its MUHNGO so now i don’t know what to call it lol.

  161. Do you think including a serum in your skincare routine is important? If yes, then why.

    Hi everyone, i am new to IMBB yayye πŸ˜€ πŸ™‚

    I absolutely LOVE serums in my skincare routine. As my skin type is dry all year long, i tend to have small-small white patches all over my face if i don’t use a proper skincare routine. My skincare routine is, after cleansing, I use an alcohol-free toner and leave it damp on the skin before applying my serum. By leaving the skin damp with toner, the action ingredients in the serum will penetrate deeper within the skin giving you better results. Moisturizers are meant to create a protective barrier over the skin to keep moisture in the skin from evaporating and keeping environmental irritants and debris out. Serums, while meant to hydrate. They give you a fresh and clean look. Serums are the most important part of the skincare routine for any skin type and one must not forget on taking care of the most beautiful part of the body i.e face.

  162. Yes, a serum is a very important part of a skin care routine as it provides the skin with nourishment which is important for a HEALTHY and FLAWLESS skin

  163. In todays times using a serum is important. After all the make up we use on our face… it does need some good nourishment at the end of the day… i wud specifically choose one which tightens the pores on my face and makes my skin more radiant and youthful… Clarins is definitely one of the best brands in the market…. πŸ™‚

  164. serum is important because it because it gets absorbed faster then any other skin care product thus giving excellent results..
    secondly rati gave such good reviews about it so looks like a must try . πŸ™‚

  165. Well serums are basically micromolecules that penetrate the layers of the skin more deeply where regular moisturizers can not reach, hence they can be used to target specific skin problems like ageing, dark spots, skin lightening etc. Nowadays the market is full of various anti ageing serums because that is itself covers so many skin issues. Basically its used as a part of our regular CTM routine, though can be used under sunscreens and with moisturizers too, but if your moisturizer is doing just fine for your skin, you may not really require to use a serum. The jist is that if you are looking forward to treat a specific skin issue, you may as well shell out some extra bucks to buy a serum…Rest eat right, feel good because whatever is inside shows outside too πŸ™‚

  166. Yes I agree that serum is very important in our skincare routine……..Serums have the ability to penetrate deeper into the skin.They’re much finer in texture than creams and are more readily accepted into the skin.
    The problem areas of the skin such as a dark spots,acne and early aging signs are targeted in a better way because the serum just does not settle over the top of the skin like the creams do.
    As serums are full of concentrates, noticeable results will be achieved quicker.

  167. Serums are great for daily use or as a rescuer, because they have a higher concentration of active ingredients. Though cleansing, toning and moisturising are a must for every skin type, serums are essential when your skin is in a rut and you’re not getting results with your basic products. They are easily absorbed and provide a super-boost to you your skin, improving their texture and providing hydration and nutrition. You do have to check to see what type of serum is best for your skin type, though. I’ve always chosen serum over creams or lotions – they’re fast acting and often give overnight results.

  168. yes, serum should definitely be a part of regular skin care.Just like the way we need to eat a balanced diet for nourishment to our body,the same way our skin too needs nourishment and protection to be healthy.Then only skin looks glamorous and what better way than a serum.

  169. Well, what I’ve generally read about serums (keeping it simple & short πŸ™‚ ) , they are more effective and have the tendency to give results quicker.

    I read up the Clarins Double Serum product details. It’s worth a try given the fact that 90% Asian women are convinced according to them. And if something is giving Age defying results in 4 weeks,I would like to try it. Already have some very fine lines appearing. πŸ™‚

  170. yesss…. Serum is needed as like subji without salt!! Heroin without make up!!!
    It gives nourishment to skin because it contains higher concentation of active nourishment.
    It suits all type skin…

    Wjen i started too use it now i can stop to use it..

  171. Love Imbb and Clarins for such a giveaway :* A serum is like skin’s doctor for it to repair and Shine. So Yeshhhh ! Its definitely a ‘Need’ to good skin πŸ™‚

  172. Yes using a serum is very important. I have oily skin and serums are non greasy formulas which is beneficial for my skin and doesnt even breaks me out. Love the fact that it has the goodness of so many ingredients which is a delightful treat for my skin πŸ™‚

  173. Serum, no doubt is a must have for skin care. According to my experience, they not only add a radiant glow to skin but also maintains a blemish-free youthful skin. clarins, offcourse is one of the most trusted and universal skincare brand.. I would love to win the clarins double serum giveaway. I love experimenting with different skincare brands and winning a double serum by clarins would be a double thumbs up for me πŸ™‚

    I have sensitive and acne-prone skin.. I find serum to be the most essential element in my skincare routine because it is water-based, very light and soothing to the skin. Just a dime size is enough to keep you naturally glowing youthful.

  174. Its a definite YES ! a tiny dot of it can actually delay the process of aging, loaded with tiny molecules of nutrients which penetrates deep within the skin and works like magic in a long run. The only sad thing for dry skin beauties that there are possibilities that the skin would become much drier.

  175. thank you imbb πŸ˜€ for so many surprises and sweet giveaways πŸ™‚ would love to try clarins product and such a chance is so hard to pass πŸ˜› πŸ˜›

    Serums are applied after cleansing and toning, but before moisturizing. Serums can deposit ingredients deeper into the skin and can combat sagging, loss of radiance and dehydration as the molecules are smaller than that of the moisturizer. Depending on the consistent and correct use of a serum one can get an immediate improvement. the light weight texture of the serum is an extra advantage to be used to any skin πŸ™‚

    thank you πŸ™‚

  176. I am one of the silent readers on IMBB. Before I start I want to thank Rati di and sanjeev ji for this site. 6 months back make-up for me was moisturizer and kajal with some lip balm on m lips. All thanks to IMBB I started using different products. Looking at today’s giveaway I think it’s the best time to start a new family with IMBB as IMBB’ians… πŸ™‚
    Well serums are considered as anti ageing products. It aggravates the cell production by giving the deep nourishment to the cells. It minimizes the pores, gives a glow to the skin so my answer is yes. I should be a part of your daily routine and a must for all the beauties above 25…

  177. Yay yay!! Thank you for sucha an awesome giveaway Clarins and IMBB!! πŸ˜€

    Yes including serums in skin care is absolutely important because:-
    * Serums have active ingredients in high concentration than creams, hence higher efficiency.

    * They work effectively on stubborn acne spots, age spots,wrinkles, sagging, uneven pigmentation, redness and they even minimize pores.

    * The molecules in serums are much smaller than the creams so, they quickly penetrate deep in the layers of skin leaving behind no residue or chip-chip (stickiness) on the upper layer of skin.

    * They instantly add radiance and improve skin’s texture.

    Who can say no to such wonder product? πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜›

  178. wow nice nice giveaway…

    yup serum is one of the essential beauty regime <3 once i used kiehl's serum from my masi's vanity , she asked me you did something to your face? I said nahi to :)… masi said then y you are shining like "anda" πŸ˜› πŸ˜› then i have to told her i took your serum πŸ˜› ….. grins…!!
    She then gifted me that bottle for use yay yay yay…. since then i am in loveeee with it.

  179. My first participation. Yayyyyy very excited though. Including serum in serum in your skincare routine is important coz every product has a unique quality associated with it. Serum has deeper penetration quality, which helps to keep the skin more mositurised,exfoliated and balanced πŸ™‚

    1. A Great opportunity to try our Clarins products, thanks to Clarins and IMBB for the awesome giveaway.
      Yes, face serum is very essential as and when the age progresses the skin needs much more nutrients, moisture and elasticity which cannot be provided by the other moisturizer creams.
      A face serum is a clear thick liquid beauty product fromulated to target a specific problem. Using serum is a means of attacking various skin care problems deep below the surface of the skin. Serums contains highly concentrated and nourishing ingredients that helps in restoring the moisture, elasticity to the skin, hydrates, increased nourishment, preventing acne, decrease in pore size, fine lines etc.
      Only face serum absorb very quickly and allows nutrients to sink deeply penetrating many layers of the skin than other creams. With its tiny molecules can add moisture and other ingredients much deeper into skin.
      So one solution for many skin problems is only Clarins Double serum.

  180. A face serum is a clear, thick, liquid beauty product often formulated to target a specific problem. Some people use them to help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots, while others choose formulas that help prevent acne and brighten the skin.A serum is a go to product which helps in improving the overall look of the complexion . It helps in minimizing the appearence of pores . I love my face serum and cant live without it…looking forward to trying the one from clarins however…:P πŸ˜› πŸ˜› πŸ˜›

  181. Though using serum is an important part of the skincare regimen today, it is still greatly overlooked by most women. It is seen to be unnecessary and expensive and above the usual cleanse, tone and moisturize routine, but it is a highly effective way to maintain, prolong or bring back the youthful glow we all want to have forever. Hence, in an era where pollution and harmful UV rays are causing deep damages, it is essential to apply a serum which is like a special soldier and helps in repairing,restoring and maintaining our skin as it works deep.

  182. Serums are much much more important than moisturizers, they give added moisture and the perfect reason for using a facial serum is to get added nutrients into deeper layers of your skin which a regular moisturizer is not able to reach.

  183. To me, the very word “serum” conjures up images of “skin drinking up and soaking in some good nourishment”. I haven’t used any serum so far, but I definitely want to include serums in my skin care routine, may be as a first step to anti-aging therapy πŸ™‚

  184. Serums are useful for
    Revitalising and rejuvenating.
    Moisturising.
    Nourishing.
    Anti-inflammatory.
    Soothing.
    Anti-stress.
    Lifting up

    Yes I like to include the serum in skin care regimen.
    Because,I could explain this from my own experience.I had terribly dark,rough skin due to hormonal changes during and post delivery.My casual visit to near by health and glow shop,was an eye opener in this case .since I was not an avid user of too many potions on my face and now as a mother of a ill baby I cannot find any time to pamper my skin,I was hesitant to buy a serum for me.but the retail therapy mania won and I lay my hands with a serum.that time I bought Pond’s flawless range serum,and I was happy with the results.During my recent visit to a mall,I came to know about Clarins ka double serum.but it is pricey,I skipped it.but the very next day I read Rati’s review.so,I can start save money to get a Clarins ka double serum.Finally moral of the story is serum is a elixir to skin with cocktail of nourishing ingredients that pampers your from within the deeper layers.
    I pray to luck god to be in the winners list.

  186. Wow thanks a lot for the giveaway…. And I was thinking of trying Clarins for a long time and hope I get a chance to try it out now.

    Definitely serum is essential in daily skin care routine. Serums are liquid treatments high in concentrated ingredients and are fast acting and are easily absorbed into the skin. Serums are extremely beneficial to the skin as they are able to add nutrients better than your regular moisturizer. A moisturizer has larger molecules and therefore does not penetrate the skin as far as a serum can. In short it is a multivitamin treatment for the face ! It is usually used in the following steps. Cleansing –> Toning –> Serum –> Moisturizer.

  187. Thanks so much to IMBB & Clarins for this awesome giveaway!
    Okay now here I go-
    Of course a serum is a vital part of our skin care routine. I’m a 16 year old girl- which means this is the time I have to take care of my skin. If I take good care of my skin right now, it’ll reflect later on in my life. I go through a lot of stuff everyday- college, tuitions, college FESTS, whatnot.
    Which means at the end of the day, my skin becomes totally rough. But serums like these are what’s keeping my skin look youthful and beautiful. I have no skin issues- none at all and I also have a rosy glow. All thanks to Clarins’ serum which I’ve been using since a month now. Well, we all know about CTM but it’s not enough. Serums penetrate deep into our skin, repair our skin, give moisture to it and make it look beautiful. Then again, I wouldn’t mind getting hold of this wonderful serum again through this contest.
    Thank youuu πŸ™‚

  188. Serums are life savers … I love them the way it makes my skin feel satin smooth and soft coz it gets absorbed the moment it touches my skin… and for me it serves as the perfect base for foundation … so it acts as primer too !!! it keeps moisturizer at bay !! improves skin’s elasticity and so i keep pampering my skin with this ELIXIR of Skin — ‘ The Serum ‘

  189. Love klarahns! Thanks IMBB for hosting this giveaway! I loveee serums because of their texture- so easily absorvable..they are concentrated too…They are like the “perfume ” versions of our fab products which are more like deodorants…little product but a lot of air.

  190. Serums are definitely said to be important for the skin, filled with goodies they are
    said to play a part in hydration, restoration and anti-aging. Asians(as in Koreans, Chineses,
    Japanese) girls who have flawless skins sometimes apply upto 3 different kinds of serum
    at a go! I am so keen to give serums a chance. Thank you for the generous giveaway plan btw!

  191. Eversince serums have been introduced for skincare, I think they are crucial for any skin routine.
    They are packed with essential nutrients that gradually help fix various ageing and skin-deficient issues and also immediately enhance the beauty of the skin!
    Involving such a product in one’s daily routine, thus becomes inevitable due to the benefits it brings along with barely any drawbacks!
    In our busy lifestyles and dependence on mostly unhealthy or not enough healthy food, we might not get the required amount of nutrients for a healthy skin, the daily use of serum does that and more.

    Thus I feel its a very important part of skincare regimen!

    Shachi

  192. Yes, I think including a serum in my skincare routine is important.More so because I am 35 now & this is the time when the signs of ageing usually start setting in & serums do a lovely job of depositing the goodness deep into the skin & helping skin remain supple & young for a longer time.

  193. I think the Serums must be invented for two types of people, one who are very busy and cant f get time to take care of their skin and the other who are lazy to take care of their skin like me!!! Yes, I want to include serum to be a part of my daily skin care routine because:

    They are good for any skin types because they are water based so suit anyone

    They contain special ingredients which we may not found in our daily moisturizer or creams.

    They are light on skin and can be applied before any moisturizer or cream

    You can pick serums according to your need e.g. anti aging, for dry skin, to get glow and many more… Hair serums are very important too to take care of hairs in the harsh weather and pollution.

    So summing up, Serum is a magical potion that take care of your un-nourished skin or hair and give u healthy and radiant skin/hair.

    thanks

  194. This seems awesome!

    Im the minimalist kinda girl when it comes to make up or skin care but for some reason, ive always been fond of serums. Have tried the diffrent variants of The Body Shop and Ponds.
    To me serum is the special potion that i put on at night after a day full of ignorance to my skin.. I love how it penetrates down the layers and beautifies my skin overnight. Like a daily rejuvination trick.
    Would love to try out clarins! πŸ™‚

  195. Serums are a recent entrant into skincare (at least in India) but its proving to be an all important step. It helps deliver a potent dose of ingredients targeted at specific skincare issues like aging, hyper pigmentation, dehydration, wrinkles etc. The higher concentration of ingredients make them more effective and provide faster results.
    So YES!! Serums are a definitely an important step in my skincare routine πŸ™‚

    BTW you guys are my fave Indian Makeup site ever <3 πŸ™‚

  196. ely … It completely rejuvenates ur skin … They acts as a repairing agents to repair d skin from d deeper levels…love d visible effects in no time by d use serum

  197. tg sir thanks a tonne for this giveaway! not just because i stand a chance to win products which i would never have the heart or pocket to buy πŸ˜‰ but because this is so educative. coming to my answer i feel the best way to showcase the importance of including serum in your skin care routine is to put up a photo of mine and my sister’s face(sorry unable to do it though as it would cause my premature death)

    The reason being i have been using serums for the past four -five years where as she hasnt! Both of us have very oily acne prone skin which breakout more than the chennai roads in monsoon! but the difference in our skins is that mine is more supple and soft and has a natural glow to it which is lacking in hers! Even though we use various skin care products to tackle tan, acne and blemishes serums are a must for the nourishment value in it! it is like an immunity pill to your skin, which protects even the deepest layers of the skin from the daily hazards we subject it to!

    And it is sooper dooper great for oily skin as it is very light and runny! if you have oily skin and reside in chennai you would understand what a catastrophe it would be to apply cream over oily skin!

    I take a two wheeler ride for 20 kms daily to work and my work place is opposite to the chennai corporation waste dumpyard so you can imagine the amount of dust i expose my skin to daily and outer layer protection is simply not enough!

    I have been using the aroma magic anti acne serum for more than two years now and it is doing a wonderful job at protecting my skin from acne and also preventing ageing! You guys should really incorporate a serum in your skin care routine if not done already.

  198. It’s so exciting to participate in this giveaway.. I am thankfull to IMBB..

    Yes,according to me using serum in your skincare regime is very essential. As serum has smaller size particles and has higher concentration of nutrients which help in penetrating the serum into the deeper layers of the skin which somehow the moisturiser fail to do.( But that doesn’t mean that it’s not important. It has its own significance in the whole skincare regime πŸ™‚
    With serum penetrating into deeper layers of skin, it has faster effects on skin..

  199. Hello IMBB I just love your website!!!
    I am so excited about this cute giveaway from Clarins.
    I have already liked the Clarins’ Face book Page.
    And about the SERUM it’s a part of our skin care routine. It protects the skin from harmful environmental effects, while promoting a firmer, brighter looking complexion. And it helps revitalize, nourish and it smoothes fine lines and helps firm facial contours for an instant face lift effect.

    Thank you,
    Sanjeev and Rati!!!

  200. With the changing environmental conditions – lots of pollution, extreme climatic conditions and stressful lifestyle; our skin needs some extra care to address different skin concerns – dry skin, wrinkles, pigmentation, acne etc. Including a serum in your skincare routine and following your routine religiously can definitely help in fighting these skin problems. Serum is very light in texture as compared to any regular skin cream or moisturizer and gets absorbed quickly into the skin. Serum penetrates deeper and provides high level of nourishment to the skin. Since the day I have known it’s benefits, I have been using serum almost daily and have noticed great results πŸ™‚

    Must say it’s a lovely giveaway πŸ™‚

  201. thanx for such a beautiful opportunity………Serums contain approximately ten times more of biologically active substances than creams, therefore quicker and more effectively coping with cosmetic problems.. Serums should be used when you feel like your skin is in a rut and you’re not getting the results with your basic products. Serums can really make a big improvement.So a big YESSSSSSSS on including SERUM in the daily skincare routine

    I m gonna end by giving a tip on how to apply serum…after using serum you should always use a cream. The cream creates a protective layer which will conserve the serum against evaporation and the skin against discomfort and dryness. Cream and serum strengthen each other’s action.

    lots of love πŸ™‚

  202. We all always are on a lookout for that little magic potion that could make our skin free from blemishes, take away all the dirt that pollution gives, nourishes and moisturizes, in short make our skin as pretty as porcelain. And hence I feel including that potion / serum is really important for a beautiful glowing skin. πŸ™‚

  203. first of all i love clarins products.all the products of clarins have such a lovely ,calming and soothing effect it smells wonderful and texture is mind blowing that u will never get in any other brand .yes offcourse clarins also use the hurble things with advance scientific researches and all.now the serum is the excellent thing for skin it penetrats quickly it gives your skin the instant soothing effect it recovers the pores and your skin problem quicklyafter applying this serum i love to do my makeup the skin is so supple and baby soft.for the ladies who just dont want to use creams and moisturisers serum is best for them .so serum can be used as an important daily skin care routine.

  204. hello imbb!
    well m jus 20 and dnt use a serum ,so no idea about its need!
    m very new to make up n skin care routines.but this blog iz a big help for newcomers.
    cheers to imbb!

  205. Using Serum in our skin care routine has became very important because of the busy life style , dust pollution , bad eating & drinking habits .
    serum should be the basic requirement for all the ladies staying in Metro cities as it lightweight formula that can deeply penetrate the skin as it contains molecules that are much smaller than those in a moisturiser, and keep the skin healthy & toned.

  206. this is my first participation and thank you for such an awesome giveaway.
    yes serum is essential for skin care routine as it is more concentrated and pure compared to creams.
    using serum gives a quick cosmetic effect coz it has higher concentration of active substances. serum also helps in hydrating and nourishing the skin.
    thanku….:)

  207. hey , liked the fb page instantly πŸ™‚ . Herez my answer :

    1)helps cell repair by giving added moisture
    2)gel based mostly so great for acne prone skin (like mine!)
    3)can go deep into skin layers and deposite nutrients unlike moisturizers
    4)helps getting rid of early signs of aging and removing dark spots
    4)only a few tiny drops are enough so the product is long lasting

    ps- Honestly i didn’t know that serums were so important for skin care regime before i read the post here and researched on it , desperately need to try it out asap (hoping Clarins gifts it to me :P)

  208. Thank you IMBB for the amazing Giveaway.

    Serum is very important in our daily skin-care routine.

    1. Serums, or concentrates, contain approximately ten times more of biologically active substances than creams, therefore quicker and more effectively coping with cosmetic problems.

    2. When concentrates are used the skin immediately gets the necessary amount of active substances in such form which assimilates easier. The active substances in high concentration act in the same way as creams – they moisturise, rejuvenate, lift up etc. The only difference is that in case concentrates are used correctly the noticeable results will be reached quicker.

    3. According to the effect produced all serums are strictly divided into the following categories:

    lifting up, revitalising (rejuvenating and regenerating), moisturising, nourishing, anti-inflammatory, soothing, anti-stress.

    4. Serums can be used to relieve tension, tighten skin up etc. Serums, that release inflammation, contain such components as witch-hazel and panthenol; those meant for blood circulation activation contain horse-chestnut extracts.

    5. Serums can be used irrespective of age. Owing to their effect, serum can be used by a teenager with acne problem; a woman will notice a significant skin improvement and decrease in the number of wrinkles; a man with sensitive skin can quickly get rid of after shave skin inflammation. When using concentrates you can always get not only a quick cosmetic effect, but also psychological satisfaction after the treatment because the result will be seen practically immediately.

    So, serum is an integral part of our daily skin-care routine.

  209. I had loved Rati’s Review of the product but the price ws a set back πŸ™ bt a free giveaway of such a lovely thing was somethng i wantd πŸ˜€
    in 6months my sis is geting maried & i would surely love to look superly pretty πŸ˜€

  210. I believe Serums are a must in our beauty care today. They are absorbed more easily into our skins compared to creams, do not form a coating on skin like cream and do not cause the oily skin to break out due to excess oiliness unlike a cream. Also serums are more concentrated than creams so work faster.

  211. Serums are cool, they make you beautiful,
    How you ask? Explaining is my task πŸ™‚
    They are Light, they are Strong,
    They are like skin’s Ninja Turtles,
    They fight several problems with their might,
    Be it patches, pigmentation or pimples!
    They enter the skin, deep deeper deepest they go,
    Deliver the goodness of all the ingredients, say the results that they show!
    The potency of the herbs and the powerful technological combination,
    No sitting on top of skin, gives you complete repair & protection,
    One product that is truly a revolution,
    That speaketh the truth when it says-‘I give complete satisfaction’!
    “While others show their effects above the surface,
    I work from the inside and make the surface a better place” πŸ™‚
    We focus on diet and workout for complete health,
    Isn’t beauty from the inside really our true wealth?
    Oh boy, you wonder- is it true?
    My dear lady, why would I lie to you? πŸ™‚

  212. serum is very important as it gives u added moisture, nutrients which helps us in various ways to improve are skin deeply….. it helps us in improving early signs of ageing, dark spots, also if u have oily skin it can give u hydration , it brighten ur skin too…..!

  214. Thanks so much to IMBB & Clarins for this fabulous giveaway! I have never participated in any giveaways but Clarins tempted me enough to make an attempt.

    I have been using hair serums for a real long time. Hair serum is an integral part of my daily routine. I started showing interest in facial serum only recently as I have just turned 25. IMBB has created awareness about using anti aging products above 25 years of age. I am sure lots of women in South India are still not aware of serums. creating awareness through blog with at least help the present and thereby future and older generations.

    Only when I started exploring about serum, I came to know about different types of serums (Hydrating, anti aging, Anti acne care. I came across only these three) and anti aging ones is one of them. I was also under the misconception that serum is only for dry skinned girl. After adequate analysis, I am convinced that serum is for each and every one out there. I am dying to incorporate them in my daily routine as I believe this will make a huge difference on my skin tone on the long run. Serum acts as an anti oxidant to skin. It is highly concentrated and penetrates deep giving awesome results. Who doesn’t want a wrinkle free, even toned, natural beautiful skin? In short a panacea for every woman.

    I have used only one Clarins product which is a lip stick that I got as a gift. I have been on a look out for facial serums recently. I will be glad to win these goodies and start with Clarins double serum just as belated birthday gift from my loving IMBB and of course Clarins. Little greedy isn’t it? Who is not greedy to win such an awesome goodies.

    I am a huge fan of all super hero movies. I want to quote from the spider man movie here. β€œWith great power comes great responsibility”. I believe this is what serum does to my hair and skin. How many hands up? wow.. almost everybody.

    Glad to be a part of IMBB.
    Liked the FB page.
    Dying to know the result… Fingers crossed!!

  215. Hello Sanjeev,

    I am huge fan of IMBB. Rati n you inspire a lot of girls and lovers (after I read how u 2 got married :p). I may be the wrong person to be picked up because I don’t know what serums are. I have never got an opportunity to try one, because they are very expensive – I can’t afford them. I always wish for trying one. If you choose me I will get an opportunity to try it out and you will fulfill one of my wishes of experiencing luxury at least for once. If you find me convincing then please ‘Pick me’. Thank you πŸ™‚

  216. Serums have the ability to penetrate deeper into the skin.They’re much finer in texture than creams and are more readily accepted into the skin

  217. Serum is a must have for skin care. They add a radiant glow to skin and maintains a blemish-free youthful skin. clarins, offcourse is one of the most trusted and universal skincare brand.. I would love to win the clarins double serum giveaway. . . And i have a oily skin… And since serums are non-greasy thus they help me retain a fresh oilfree skin throughout the day and also helps me out from pimples… πŸ˜€

  218. serums are a must in your skin care regimen due to its following benifits
    1).As serums are non greasy and have an intensive formula with a high concentration of active substances thats why these potions are a must in your skin care regimen.
    2) It deliver vitamins, retinol and antioxidants to the skin to tackle any beauty issue.
    3) Serums are generally lighter in texture than moisturizers. They may also have a higher level of active ingredients compared to their moisturizer counterparts.
    4)Face serum is a means of attacking various skin care problems deep below the surface of the skin. The most common benefits include hydration, increased nourishment, brightening of the skin, and acne prevention.

  219. Thank U IMBB for giving such mesmirising surprises and beautiful giveaways.
    A Serum is a lightweight, light textured, easily absorbed fluid designed to treat specific skin concerns. Serums contain concentrated active ingredients which enhance the effects of your regular skin care routine. They are sometimes recommended as a short term β€œquick fix” but can also be used as part of a long term ongoing skin care programme.

    A Serum for skin is a great way to get effective doses of vitamins that are the ingredients of the serum into your skin care routine. A serum is lighter than a lotion and is often oil free, so it’s a good choice for younger, oily, or acne prone skin types. These serums can also contain other beneficial skin vitamins so you get more actives in single products.

    It is one of the most proven skin care ingredients.It have an antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals that damage your skin cells. It also protects against the sun and stimulates collagen synthesis.It is used to fight wrinkles and age spots effectively. It can also be helpful for acne and acne scars.
    One of the very best ways to achieve results with your skin is to incorporate the use of a skin serum into your routine. Especially for those over 40 who are starting to notice changes in the skin (and usually not ones for the better), using a skin serum can help to sophisticate your routine beyond the basic cleanser, toner, moisturizer regimen.
    Benefits:

    1.Moisturizes
    2.Firms
    3.Smoothes the skin
    4.Reduces wrinkles
    5.Rejuvinates
    6.Promotes healthy skin
    7.Slows down the aging process
    i love CLARINS SERUM. me and my mother were using it regularly and love to pamper our skin.
    i would like to share a secret with u all dat whenever i go for outing with my friends they jst ask me always about my radiant skin which i never i share.

    YES SERUM IS THE ELIXIR TO THE SKIN which should be added in everydays routine for skincare in every household if the women love to be called darling!!!!!!!!!!

  220. Yes serum is important in our daily routine. Definately a must have. I like it better than a normal cream.

  221. Yes, Adding of Serum is important for a good skincare because ” It deposit’s nutrients to deep layer of skin & credit’s us with beautiful glow and radiance” πŸ™‚

  222. The face serum is really important. It should be your skin care staple because its effects are more potent that any regular cream.It aims to penetrate deep into the three layers of the skin to strengthen the cells as well as deliver active ingredients to your skin…..so serum is very much important 4 daily use

  223. I feel serum should be a part of the beauty regime because it helps in faster absorption of the ingredients than a normal face cream and helps in sorting out the problems more quicker…serum should be part of the beauty regime of cleansing, toning, moisturizing…After serum usage, its a must to use a cream…

  224. I think serums, if not a necessity, are definitely a wonderful dimension to add in your skincare process. The reason being, its designed to deliver rich ingredients to our skin, and only that. While our moisturizers have another job of forming a barrier and keeping our skin lubricated, it has to contain moisturizing ingredients, while serums can, without caring about any other thing , contain higher concentrations of other beneficial ingredients like antioxidants which can be absorbed into the skin !
    So a BIG YES to serums it is !!

  225. Yes, I do agree serum is very essential skincare for everyone’s need. As it acts fast, doesn’t look as though any product is applied.
    Makes skin very smooth, supple, baby soft and keeps it moisturized.
    That’s it. My short and sweet knowledge on serum πŸ˜› πŸ˜€ πŸ˜‰

  226. this serum is really cool according to me… :yahoo: really a good way to keep ur skin moisturized… :happydance: love to have it…. but so many participants I’m definitely not the lucky one… πŸ™ for the serum, THUMBS UP…. πŸ˜€

  227. For the best skin results , a skin serum should be the part of skin care routine-

    Cleansing
    Toning
    Serum application
    Moisturizing
    Sunscreen
    and a perfect healthy skin is Glowing πŸ™‚

  228. yes, i think serum should definitely be a part of our skin care routine. serums have microparticles which easily penetrate our skin and helps in solving our skin problems. we might apply layers of foundation and concealers to hide our problem areas but they won’t have any effect on the problems, instead i believe that too much of makeup can damage our delicate skin. in contrast, serums reach to the problems of our skins and help solve them. the effect won’t be for a single day but instead for a very long time, even after we have stopped using the serum. most of the serums are pricey but its better to invest on something which goes to the root of the problem rather than superficially concealing it. i forced my mom to buy an anti ageing serum and i myself saw how it improved her skin’s texture gradually. serums nourish our skin from beneath giving us a healthy glow. serums get absorbed instantly without leaving any oily residue or greasiness, which is a very big advantage for oily skinned ladies like me. serums are a must and should definitely be a part of our routine ctm routine and applied before moisturiser so that the thick layer of mosturiser doesn’t reduce the absorbing power n penetrance of serums in our skin.

  229. i strongly recommend Serum coz they are light weight and penetrate better in skin to give better results,also, they are non-sticky and need to be applied thinly(so a bottle lasts longer as well!!)

  230. yayy!!! another giveaway… thank you imbb.. serums are important in ones skin care routine, especially once you are past the age of 30 as they fight skin ageing, and penetrates the layers of skin and work deep down.

  231. im an absolute fan of your giveaways..:)
    a serum adds an extra edge to the daily skincare routine.It hydrates the skin,helps it to hold to the right PH and moisture content,as a result of which the skin glows with a healthy shine.Serum also often contains antioxidants that contains free radicals which instead of letting harmful substances oxidize the skin,themselves get oxidized and rescue the skin.Oxidation of skin leads to ageing,darkening,patchy,with sebum oil disbalance,acne and blemishes.Thus serum can take complete care of one’s skin.

  232. Hey,
    Big fan here with my first post :p

    I have heard a lot about serums, infact my aunt uses an anti ageing serum.
    I have used one sample per se and i do know a bit about these magic thingies!

    Do I think including a serum in my skincare routine is important?
    YES!!

    Why?
    3 words –
    Exfoliation!
    Brightening and
    Tightening!

    Smoothens the skin, brightens it by reducing pigmentation n dark spots and reduces the visibility of wrinkles! (ah! what more does a lass need!)

    Particularly for ladies over 25! (I’m 23 :D)
    I was always a tomboy, never cared for my skin (a much despised habit I have!)
    The effects had started showing on my facial skin!

    I was never happy with the use of moisturiser and always felt i needed more!
    Then i came to know about skin serums!
    As opposed to moisturisers, serums are way lighter and have a deep penetrating action!
    They are oil free (woo hoo!!)
    Good for my combination (oily t zone!!!), sensitive skin!
    Never caused any breakouts and are soothing!

    so here – cleansing, toning, SERUMING (hehe), + or – moisturising!

    So, there you go folks!

    If you have persistent dry skin despite of good moisturising,
    Oiliness despite of all precautions,
    Premature ageing despite of sleeping on your back all night.. hehehe (very tough!)

    maybe it’s time to switch to a bettttttter option!

    Keep it up IMBB!

    (P.S. – this is my first post, pls be gentle :p)

  233. i think serums should be used becoz a small amount of it can work wonders on the skin…. it helps the skin to look younger n youthful..

  234. agree….serum penetrates skin, reduces pores and fine lines…finding the right type of serum for our skin type n using it regularly as a routine works best…

  235. Yeah, i believe including a serum in our daily skincare routine is important. One of the main reasons being that it gives better result as compared to moisturizers, a smooth and soft skin. Plus just a small drop of a serum works wonders. Serums are known to help rejuvenate skin and treat dark, acne and what not. So the best way to get a flawless skin is to include serums for skin care, it’s a must have.

  236. Yes Rati !! I do AGREE to an Extent !!!! If you have a problem with your skin that you’d like to improve, such as dark spots or early aging signs, a serum can help. Also, if your skin is very oily, a serum can give you enough hydration. But, if your skin is happy with your regular moisturizer alone, there is no need to rush off to buy a serum

    Serums go deeper into the skin’s layers than moisturizers. Often they are good for brightening treatments, anti-aging treatments and sometimes acne treatments, none of which it sounds like you need. Serums are also great for people with very oily skin, as they can use them as their moisturizer.

    While facial serums can give you added moisture, the main reason you’d want to use a facial serum is to get added nutrients into deeper layers of your skin that a regular moisturizer is not able to reach. We can get many types of serums such as anti-aging serums, skin brightening serums and even acne preventative serums. My suggestion is to apply serum after your toner and before your moisturizer.

  237. yes including serum in skin care routine is important. The face serum should be your skin care staple because its effects are more potent that any regular cream.This is what skin experts now believe because they find that a concentrated cocktail of important ingredients delivered directly to the deeper layers of skin can benefit you in many ways. Also, the fact that serums are non greasy and have an intensive formula with a high concentration of active substances is another reason why these potions are a must in your skin care regimen.

  238. While facial serums can give you added moisture, the main reason you’d want to use a facial serum is to get added nutrients into deeper layers of your skin that a regular moisturizer is not able to reach. Due to their large molecules, moisturizers can only penetrate the first layer of the skin, allowing them to to hydrate and seal in moisture. A facial serum is able to penetrate into all three layers of the skin because it is made of smaller molecules. The serums ability to go deeper into the skin is what allows it to help combat many common beauty complaints.
    and thats where the Clarin Double Serum helps..:) foe skin’s natural hydaretion.
    Stay pretty always..:D

  239. Serum it really plays an important role for your skin care regime . A serum contains concentrated active ingredients. As such, you may notice they often come with a heftier price tag than, say, your average moisturizer. It’s these high-tech active ingredients that make the product more expensive,but its very imp to use it , because it makes ur skin so supple and soft .there are different kinds of serum available as per your need .You cleanse, you exfoliate and you moisturize. That’s enough for your skin, right? Not so fast β€” you should add a serum to your skin-care routine.They are formulated to address specific skin concerns such as wrinkles, firming, age spots and discolorations. I Myself is personally using it , and i must say it really makes wonder, if you want to make other gal”S boyfriend fall for u , this is the best option πŸ™‚

  240. Hi!
    I am a dermatologist and so strongly recommend Clarins to my clients who can afford it.
    Your brand is value for money. Your products deliver what they promise. So keep up the great quality.

    Double Serum is one of your best products ever! Skin is an organ of the body which constantly go throughs wear and tear due to atmospheric exposures like pollution and weather. Ageing adds to the weakening and dulling of skin gradually and continuously.
    To combat all these effects on the skin, a potent yet gentle product is needed which the skin can easily absorb so that the daily damage to the skim can be reversed and repair happens at a cellular level. This is why a serum like Double Serum comes in and plays a significant role in giving a youthful and beautiful supple skin, which has even skin tone and is well hydrated.

    I believe that its regular skin care routine followed dedicatedly is what gives a great skin rather than spending money on just one single session on a facial, the effects of which are short lived.

    Thank you Clarins for offering such great products which deliver what they promise!

  241. I use Serum in my daily routine, its helps tightening the skin and helping the skin to stay young for long πŸ™‚ Only a serum can penetrate the many layers of the skin and complete the skin care. Its a miracle for our age…. Love Clarins Double Serum !!!!

  242. YEs its very very important to use serum. THe reasons are: If you have very dry skin you can use a serum before a moisturiser, although other skin types may choose to use a serum instead of a moisturiser too. Serums are a more targeted part of the skincare routine, they are absorbed better into the skin, and are usually created for specialist needs such as added hydration, acne or ageing. You only need to apply a pea-sized amount of serum. The main advantage of serums is that they lightweight and water-based, allowing them to be layered under or over other products. When applied to the clean skin, serums are a great vehicle for delivering specific targeted treatments.

  243. great giveaway looking forward to it….
    yes,it is good to use a serum regularly because it gives a great feeling to the skin and it is also one of the gennext skincare step.anybody should must go for it….

  244. yes its important part of skincare,..! i dont use it regularly but whenever i get time, i do. I am using Clarins products(kit was gifted by my aunt). I found the products effective & would like to try other products too πŸ™‚
    I wish & congratulate the whole Clarins team for their wonderful products and satisfying their customers πŸ™‚

  245. Wow.. what a sweet surprise. . Step 1 done.. about serums.. hmmm haven’t used one till date. Its most effective way to treat damaged skin and restore the skin to its normal state than cream and lotions.. heard the ingredients in the serum ll be more concentrated and therefore increase the absorbtion by ten folds hence effective treatment and relief. . It should be used in a clean skin preferably at night . A very small amount of it works wonders to the skin..

  246. At 34, leading an active lifestyle and meeting pollution and the sun everyday can surely play havoc to the skin.
    WHile have been following a CTM and CEM routine quite religiously, i feel that using a good serum like Clarins will give that much needed boost to the skin… it will not only add to the nourishment, but as a serum, it’s light on skin as well.

    For someone like me, a serum is just what i want…. REALLY!

  247. Hello….
    Well according to me Serum is as important for skin as fertilisers are to soil….without fertiliser the soil can produce but the production would not be as good as it would be if fertilisers were added to the soil….similarly without a good serum ur skin will not be problamatic but it won’t be as smooth,radiant and beautiful as it would be with serum….so go ahead and pick ur bottle of the magic potion….
    Thank you

  248. Serums….the magic potion in a small bottle….it is very important….as it lighter and penetrates deep into our skin and solves the problem and improves the texture of the skin from within….it doesn’t clog pores…and is more powerful then Moisturiser so it delivers results faster and is long lasting…so as a result all u have is a beautiful ,radiant skin….
    Thank u

  251. Including a serum in my skincare routine is important.After washing my hair i apply it to my hair to keep my hair safe from pollution,dust,sun etc.It also protects my hair from damage caused by using staightner.Hair serum gives damaged hair shine and helps as a protective coat against further damage.
    Hair serum is also long-lasting. Even when it is applied after washing, it lasts until the next wash.
    Thus it is an important hair care TOOL and hence not including it as skincare routine is inevitable.

  253. Yes!!!
    serum not only detangles hair but also protects them against harmful radiation of sun, heat of styling products and also prevents them from frizzing. Hair cuticle is protected and hence it shines..

  254. Serum helps in addition to the regular skin care regimen. Serum works directly and reduces open pores. Everyone should apply serum and particularly mature and aging skin needs additional care and an appropriate serum is a must. An immediate, visible difference is seen after the application the serum.

  255. Yes!! Because serums are jam packed with vitamins. Its more enriched and concentrated than a moisturizer and it can help enhance your moisturizer too! it helps repair your skin!

  256. Firstly,I would swear on Clarins Products as it has the perfect ingredients to nourish every kind of skin..Serums are a skin care product with high concentrations active ingredients like hyaluronic acid (to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles), vitamin C (to brighten the skin and help reduce the appearance of pigmentation and age spots) or glycolic acid (an exfoliant)..
    The molecules in a serum are smaller than those in a moisturizer. This means it can deposit ingredients deeper into the skin.apply the serum while your skin is still slightly damp from cleansing. So Serums Are indespensible part of my daily routine !!!

  257. Serums are thick liquid-like products with active ingredients like vitamins and anti-oxidants that are formulated with smaller molecules so they can penetrate deep into the skin. Serums are designed to penetrate and treat various skin conditions, such as redness, dehydration or lack of firmness, wrinkles, dark spots or to brighten the skin. As compared to a face moisturizer that has larger molecules than a serum and the only purpose of a moisturizer is to hydrate the top layers of the skin, face serums have tiny molecules and are formulated to deposit moisture and nutrients to deeper layers of the skin. The active ingredients can bring antioxidants to the skin, restore cell growth, or help decrease pore size and hence its use is essential for constant cure and improvement of the skin.

  259. Hi, everyone

    A serum is very important in our skin care routine as it makes the essentials nutrients go deeper into the layers of the skin, thereby reducing skin aging and damage. And using a serum everyday will make skin stay youthful for longer.:)

  260. Yes serum is very important and should be included in daily routine after cleansing and before moisturising. Applying serum can solve skin dilemmas including ageing, acne, blemished skin, very dry skin and skin imperfections!

  261. FIrst of all I would like to thank IMBB and clarins for this amazing giveaway.
    Yes, I agree that all of us should include serums in our skincare regime. While moisturizers may only moisturize the epidermis or the upper layer of the skin serums go deep down the epidermis are target the root of many problems. Serums are hence, able to moisturize our skin better and make it more supple and glowing . Many of these serums contain antioxidants which help to tackle the problem of big pores , ageing and even dullness and loss of moisture from the skin due to pollution and dirt and since they go deep down and don’t just stay at the epidermis like the moisturizers do they are able to tackle these problems better. Living in a very polluted cities I think it is important to include a serum in our routine. Remember to choose one with organic ingredients and rich in antioxidants.

  262. serum is very important in your skincare routine .If you have very dry skin you can use a serum before a moisturizer. Serums are a more targeted part of the skincare routine, they are absorbed better into the skin, and are usually created for specialist needs such as added hydration, acne or ageing. You only need to apply a pea-sized amount of serum.They are not meant to replace your favorite moisturizer but are most effective when used in addition to it. The main advantage of serums is that they lightweight and water-based, allowing them to be layered under or over other products.

  263. Well i really feel that Serum Must be use for Skin as it moisturizes, uplift the skin, and its anti-inflammatory property soothes to all skin types. Serums got the anti-stress element which helps the skin ,to overcome the stress of skin,. Serums simply hidens the fine lines that lined your face and visibly reduce the lines . I feel one should notice overall improvement in their skin tone, skin brightness and skin smoothness with regular use of the Serums…
    So i really wanna tell everyone that you should go for Serum for skin …as it does Miracles …i am personaaly using so can say that it really works ….

  264. Awwww.. That’s so shweet of IMBB and Clarins!!
    I would relli love to win this contest..
    Serums can treat skin conditions such as redness, wrinkles, discoloration, dehydration, sagging skin and help prevent acne.
    Facial serums can give you added moisture, the main reason you’d want to use a facial serum is to get added nutrients into deeper layers of your skin that a regular moisturizer is not able to reach.
    A moisturizer has larger molecules than a serum. This means that a moisturizer will not penetrate the skin as far as a serum will. While serums deposit nutrients, moisturizers are meant to deposit moisture and hydration your skin.
    A good serum provides intensive care to treat problem or fragile areas and it aims to penetrate deep into the three layers of the skin to strengthen the cells as well as deliver active ingredients to your skin. Therefore a serum is a must in your daily facial routine!! And i would love to win this contest and get a gorgeous and healthy skin with clarins facial serum!!

Also, the fact that serums are non greasy and have an intensive formula with a high concentration of active substances is another reason why these potions are a must in your skin care regimen……

  270. To protect one’s skin, many skin care products must be worn to reduce the look of wrinkles, freckles, age spots, sun spots, freckles or fine lines. Whether from the sun or the environment, skin protection is imperative. A serum remains one of the most important products because it typically contains a higher concentration of ingredients.It surely gives d skin a boost.

  271. I feel that using facial serum in your skin care routine is very important. Everyone should use a facial serum regardless of their skin type, or age. Because serum is much richer in active ingredients, as compared to regular creams, it penetrates deeper in the skin. Serum works best if applied on clean slightly moist skin a couple of minutes before moisturizer.

  272. Yes!!! Serums are extremely beneficial to the skin as they add nutrients better than your regular moisturizer. Moisturizers has larger molecules and therefore does not penetrate the skin as far as a serum can. serum acts as multivitamin treatment for the face!

  273. Ypeee…… Huggsss <3 <3
    Well…..
    What i know about serum is only that "A tall vial of serum is a must-have now."
    the face serum should be your skin care staple because its effects are more potent that any regular cream.

  275. Thanks to Clarins n IMBB for sharing their happiness in such a lovely way ;). Coming to the entry, I strongly feel that serums should be an essential part of our daily skin care regime as they not only provide a youthful glow but also provide immense nourishment to the skin. And as for clarins serum, they take care of our skin as a doting mother would take care of her infant. Using serum is like adding a feather to our hat when the skin starts fading and loosing its glow. I would definitely share this giveaway with my mom if I luckily win one πŸ˜‰

  276. SERUM works to reactivate the five vital skin functions which are slowed by age, environment and stress, and is effective on all the signs of ageing.
    A little research on CLARINS double serum tells me that the formulation comprises both Hydric (water) and Lipidic (oil) systems which combine 20 of the most powerful known plant extracts. The 2 systems are contained in 2 separate vials to maintain the potency of the ingredients and ensure they can work together with no issues of incompatibility and instability.
    It also contains Cangzhu, which is a Chinese herb which works to enhance the effectiveness of all the ingredients for faster anti-ageing results.
    There are also 3 cutting edge actives to compliment the power of plants – double molecular weight hyaluronic acid and phytosphingosine to further stimulate the production of collagen and glycosaminoglycans. Plus, new generation peptide Survixyl IS protects stem cells in the epidermis against UV and environmental stress.

    Knowing all the facts , i now desperately want the giveaway!!! πŸ˜€

  277. I think a serum is essential because in this day and age our skin is stripped of its natural nutrients and glow by the harsh external factors like pollution as well as lifestyle factors like erratic work-sleep schedules, food habits etc.
    To compensate for this “atyaachar” on the skin, we need something that goes deep and nourishes the skin from within. a normal moisturizer is not designed to do that. Serum with their concentrated formulas and focused penetrating action help do just that. Hence needed!

    FB page bhi like kar diya.. ab freebies de dooooooooooooooooo!!!!!! πŸ˜‰

  278. ha lots of points regarding serum πŸ™‚
    Yes, including a serum in skin care routine is important.
    Why Serum – Serum soothes the skin and reduces the dark spots gives flawless skin. It reduces the signs of aging and it tightens the skin.
    Application – One should apply the serum after your toner and before your moisturizer.
    Selecting serum – For anti aging, check for serum with antioxidant; or else check the hyaluronic acid one. One thing to avoid when choosing a serum is alcohol. If it is high on the ingredient list, the only thing it will do to your skin is dehydrate it.

    After reading the Clarins review here, I had gifted my sister clarin double serum.

  279. First and foremost “Thanks” to IMBB and Team Clarins for these giveaways:)
    Well talking about Serum , they play a vital role in one’s daily skin care regime .
    Serums are known for their antiaging benefits , they combat wrinkles ,crows feet and laugh lines .They are beneficial in firming facial skin esp for matured skin type
    Regular use results in glowing,firm,youthful looking healthy skin.
    Serum are applied post toner, and because of its liquidy texture it gets absorbs quickly and easily penetrates inside the skin.
    A good quality Serum (definitely without parabens)should be for sure used by women who suffer from premature aging as this will result in youthful, brighter, hydrated, radiant and in all a HAPPY skin πŸ™‚

  280. yes serum serum is important .
    Because a skin serum is that one beauty product that has the ability to penetrate deep within the layers of the skin and get completely absorbed to give phenomenal results. Loaded with nutrients and vitamins, these skin serums have the molecular ability to penetrate three layers of the skin and deposit the nutrients where they will be absorbed the most.

  281. Woooowwww…loving it:-):-)step 1 done
    now step 2…see I personally never used serum for skin bt i used it fr
    my hair and i has given tremendous result..at a different level of ages
    as we want different kind of nutrients in the same way our skin wnts
    different kind of intergents fr our skin…apart frm our daily CTM we
    cn add serum in our daily routine:-):-):-)wish me luck:-):-)

  282. serums serums serums…… oh my god.. πŸ™‚
    First of all serums, are formed by impossible combination of water and oil – soluble ingredients..
    Texture-wise, the serum has the lightness and penetration of a gel combined with the comfort of a cream with a scientific proportion and not only a mixture of so many active ingredients as found in others..
    Now it is important because.. every one has a different skin texture… no two persons can have exactly same skin although the oiliness or dryness or skin issues may be the same..just like “fingerprints”.. always unique.. but serum’s proportionate formulation combats both phases of skin.. from Young to Mature…
    For Younger skin phase.. it acts as a protector and rejuvinator…
    While for the mature phase.. its more like a skin food providing “Oxygenation, Nutrition and Hydration”…

    and if you have two or three skin issues (dark spots, dulness ,ageing)… rather than applying different active ingredients which may result in horrible effects… start using a serum with the properties of all in one.. and that too without any harm to your skin which might not be visible today but it will surely show its presence tomorrow..

  283. Yes serum is important! i dont really know why but i never buy moisturizers and buy serums instead. After a face wash…i use a toner on my skin n then i use a fairness serum (currently by lotus herbals)…never fairness creams! i feel it makes ur skin glow n never makes it oily!

  284. Halo IMBB team and fellow beauties,
    I will not google and write down how a serum works in the deep layers of the skin etc.

    Simply putting it,to my understanding,YES a serum is just as important for the skin as oiling is for the scalp.Just as hair masks,shampoos ,conditioners work best post oiling, skin creams, moisturizers,etc work best post SERUMING :p πŸ˜€
    May the best answer win πŸ™‚

  286. Yes, using a serum is important in the skin care routine cos it penetrates into the skin better than ordinary moisturisers or other facial products.

  287. Once you hit your mid-twenties, a serum should be an integral part of your daily skincare regimen. They are light, water-based and fast absorbing, and give an instant boost to your skin. They are concentrated with active ingredients which makes them an elixir for the skin. Since serums are lighter than moisturizers and are made of smaller molecules, they penetrate the skin better where the nutrients are more likely to be absorbed. Serums help you fight signs of aging, pigmentation, environmental damage and give a radiant glow. What’s best is most of them work well on all types of skins. While the very oily skinned beauties may skip moisturizer after a couple of drops of serum, never, ever skip your sunscreen.
    That’s my two pence on why I think serums are important.
    Win or not, the best thing about the contest is that the ladies might finally truly understand why serums are an essential today and religiously add it to their routine.
