Pop Mart Molly, a fan-favorite character recognizable by her turquoise eyes and signature pout, is at the center of the new and limited-edition Clarins x Pop Mart Molly collection. Tapping into the demand for collectibles across categories, this collab sees the iconic character appear on special-edition beauty and skincare packaging and themed pouches, pillows, and keychains.
Vibrance, Elegance and Joy are three expressions to explore, each of which is paired with a signature Clarins product. Elegance is matched with the Extra-Firming Treatment Essence, specifically formulated for mature skin, while Vibrance is represented by the lightweight Multi-Active Treatment Essence for dialing up hydration and overall vitality with specifically selected plant extracts like teasel, organic red ginseng and jania. And finally, the Clarins x Pop Mart Molly collab sees Joy aligned with Clarins’ beloved Lip Comfort Oils.
