Clarins Opens Beauty Concierge Pop-Up at Changi Terminal 1 Through August 2026
French skincare house Clarins has opened a "Beauty Concierge Singapore Edition" pop-up at Changi Airport Terminal 1 Departure Transit, running from 7 July to 16 August 2026. The activation is part of Changi Airport's "Changi 1st" programme, which showcases exclusive launches and concept pop-ups from global brands available at Changi before other retail locations.
The pop-up is located in the transit area, which means it is only accessible to departing or transiting passengers who have cleared immigration at Terminal 1. If you are flying out of T1 during this window, it is worth factoring in extra time before your flight to explore the installation.
A Bespoke Beauty Journey
The Clarins Beauty Concierge is built around a curated beauty journey. Visitors can book a personalised skincare consultation with Clarins beauty advisors, who will assess skin condition and recommend products from the Clarins travel-retail range. The consultation is themed around "Your Journey to Beauty and Beyond" and is designed to be interactive rather than a hard sell.
One of the standout experiences is the Singapore-inspired makeover, which ties into the local context of the pop-up. Clarins has leaned into Singapore's signature red with its Iconic Red Edit, a limited-edition set featuring Joli Rouge 768 lipstick and a complimentary Lip Comfort Oil mini. The makeover station lets you try the look on-site before deciding whether to purchase.
An immersive photo experience is also part of the journey, with a themed backdrop that lets you capture the moment after your consultation or makeover.
The Changi-Exclusive Blockbuster Set
The headline product at the pop-up is the Clarins Changi-Exclusive Blockbuster Set, priced at S$396. It features the Double Serum and Extra-Firming Cream, two of Clarins' flagship anti-ageing products, along with a refill for the Extra-Firming Cream. The set is designed to visibly address signs of ageing while enhancing firmness and radiance, and the refill component is pitched as a more responsible way to consume skincare.
Other sets available at the pop-up include the Precious Cream and Eye Care Ritual Set at S$536, the Bright Plus Ritual at S$324, the Extra Firming Ritual at S$291.70, and the UV Plus Advanced SPF50 Duo at S$198. All are available at duty-free prices and can also be pre-ordered on iShopChangi for collection at the airport or home delivery for travellers.
The Peranakan Heritage Reward
The exclusive reward tied to the pop-up is a jewellery box inspired by Singapore's Peranakan heritage, paired with a curated collection of Clarins beauty essentials. Clarins describes it as "a luxurious keepsake designed to elevate your daily beauty ritual." The reward is available to shoppers who meet a qualifying spend threshold at the pop-up, and stock is limited.
The Peranakan theme is a deliberate nod to the local cultural context. Peranakan culture is a blend of Chinese and Malay influences unique to the Straits Settlements, and the jewellery box design draws on the intricate tilework and beadwork motifs associated with Peranakan craftsmanship.
