5 Dual-Phase Skincare Multitaskers That Are Like Two Products in One

Dual-layer skincare products often have a unique texture that’s part oil and part serum or essence. Shake the product to blend the two phases and once applied, the oil layer nourishes and conditions skin, while the serum helps hydrate and provide targeted skin benefits. From toners and essences to serums and facial mists, read on to shop the multitasking, dual-phase products our editors swear by.

 

Lancôme Clarifique Face Essence

Uneven texture and tone are no match for this dual-phase essence. The clear essence is infused with glycolic and salicylic acids to exfoliate, while the oil essence is a blend of sunflower and grapeseed oils. Use it after toner and before serum for a radiance boost.

This non-greasy, face oil-serum hybrid can be applied over, under or in place of your moisturizer.
