HIGH REGENERATION AND HIGH NUTRITION DRAWN FROM THE ROOTS OF YOUTH

Orchidée Impériale The Rich Cream, now available as a refill, is exceptional complete care that helps to regenerate ten vital layers of dry skin¹ to preserve, regenerate and prolong 12 signs of youth². A pioneer in the science of longevity through the orchid, Guerlain Research is for the first time combining the high regeneration of Orchid Totum™ technology with the high nutrition of the orchid oleo-concentrate to activate and extend skin’s longevity and increase its regeneration fivefold³.
Skin is visibly younger. The Rich Cream’s mimetic lamellar texture fuses perfectly with skin for intense nutrition and a non-greasy finish. Its formula is made up of 96% naturally-derived ingredients⁴.

¹In vitro test on ingredients – fundamental layers of the epidermis. ²Clinical evaluation by a dermatologist, 32 women, 2 applications per day for 3 months, China. ³In vitro test on ingredients. ⁴Calculation based on the international ISO standard 16128, including water. The remaining 4% help to optimise the formula's integrity over time and its sensory qualities.

THE FEAT OF A LAMELLAR TEXTURE MIMICKING THE EPIDERMIS’ NATURAL ARCHITECTURE

The Rich Cream’s unique texture¹ has a “millefeuille” structure that mimics the lamellar phases of the epidermis and is designed to amplify the diffusion of the orchid’s active ingredients through skin’s multiple vital layers up to 15-fold².

It is also infused with three ingredients bio-inspired by the lipids found naturally in the epidermis to optimise its affinity and fusion with skin: a high-tech stabilising emulsifier, notably consisting of lysine, whose structure is comparable to the ceramides in the epidermis. Jojoba ester and plant squalane, similar to the waxes that make up human sebum.

A CONCENTRATE OF ORCHID TECHNOLOGIES CRAFTED BY GUERLAIN SCIENCE

THE PRECIOUS ORCHID OLEO-CONCENTRATE: 90% OLEO-ACIDS

This exclusive concentrate is composed of 90% oleo-acids, which make up young skin. It supplies the epidermis with the lipids and nutrients required for cells’ cohesion and energetic activity, such as omegas 6, 7 and 9. Skin is 46 times more nourished¹. Vital energy production is thus increased by 150%². The hydrolipid balance is re-established, and the barrier function strengthened by 60%².

¹Instrumental test, 30 women, after 1 hour. ²In vitro test on ingredients.

THE ORCHID TOTUM™ MOLECULAR EXTRACT: SKIN REGENERATION INCREASED FIVEFOLD¹

Guerlain Research has successfully captured the power of two exceptional orchids from deep within their roots to their crown. This cutting-edge technology helps to regulate cell respiration, optimising skin regeneration, and targets a longevity enzyme to help to extend its youthful appearance¹. Regeneration is increased fivefold¹. Skin’s vital forces are reactivated and signs of ageing visibly improved. Skin recovers its youthful appearance.

¹In vitro test on ingredients.

THE NEW REFILLABLE STEP

Orchidée Impériale The Rich Cream has now become refillable and falls within Guerlain’s eco-design approach. The Orchidée Impériale cream’s lid must be kept in order to use the new refill, thereby allowing 25%¹ CO₂² savings. The carbon footprint² is halved compared to the full product. This refill is only compatible with The Cream’s new-generation jar.

¹Comparison between the purchase of two full products and the purchase of a full product and its refill. ²Comparison of CO2 equivalents provided by the product packaging and its transport worldwide calculated by the life cycle analysis method. The evaluation takes into account the nature of the materials, the origin and manufacturing process for the components, their transport and the transport of the finished product and its end of life.

THE HIGH REGENERATION PROTOCOL BORN OF GUERLAIN SPAS’ FACIALIST EXPERTISE

1. SENSORY APPLICATION: warm a small amount of cream between your fingertips and apply simultaneously with both hands all over the face.
2. ERASE: make alternating walking movements with the fingertips all along the nasolabial fold.
3. TONE: make downward rubbing movements between the brows and slide to the temples. Repeat these downward movements along the nasolabial fold and slide to the ears.
4. DEEPLY CALM: firmly slide hands held vertically from the middle of the face towards the ears.
