If you want to know more…
Enriched with the new Orchidée essential water complex, the Essence-in-Lotion combines the comprehensive age-defying efficacy of Orchidée Impériale with optimum hydration. Consisting of an aqueous extract of orchid combined with low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, this complex moisturizes and boosts the natural hydration of the skin. Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid is made up of tiny fragments that the skin perceives as a deterioration in its own hyaluronic acid. The skin responds by activating its own hyaluronic acid synthesis and boosting its self-hydration mechanism. The Essence-in-Lotion has an incredibly fine, light texture and reveals plumped, smoother, and visibly more beautiful skin.
What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Phthalates
What else you need to know:
For 15 years, Guerlain Research has been pushing back the frontiers of cellular longevity. Now it has identified a new mechanism that plays a key role in longevity: cellular respiration. More effective thanks to the discovery of the extraordinary powers of a duo of orchids, Cell Respiration™ technology delivers superior efficacy inside the skin. It regulates cellular respiration and combats hypoxia* or oxygen deficiency, a phenomenon that increases with age. The cells can breathe again and maximize energy production which boosts cell regeneration*. All the visible signs of aging are minimized: wrinkles and fine lines fade, the skin regains firmness, density, and elasticity, and the complexion is even and more radiant. The skin is infused with a breath of life. *In vitro tests on ingredient.
The orchid, a rare and precious raw ingredient, is the very essence of the exceptional complete care range Orchidée Impériale. A genuine longevity prodigy, the orchid is the most developed species in the plant kingdom. Convinced of its exceptional potential, Guerlain set up its first research center ever to be devoted to an ingredient: the Orchidarium®.
The new packaging for Orchidée Impériale Essence-in-Lotion is designed to reduce the environmental impact.
Research results:
In an instrumental test on 10 women after 6 hours:
- Hydration: +56%
In a satisfaction test on 41 women after 28 days:
- Radiance: +40%
- Visibility of pores: -21%
- Smoother skin: +38%**
