The exceptional longevity-activating pre-care.
More than a mere lotion, The Essence-Lotion Concentrate is infused with 22%¹ skincare essence to restore the hydrolipid balance of the skin’s ten vital layers² and activate the skin’s regeneration². It combines the Orchid Totum™ molecular extract with Orchid Equilibrium™ technology to preserve, regenerate and prolong 12 signs of youth³ and doubles⁴ Orchidée Impériale The Cream’s anti-wrinkle efficacy.
For the first time, Guerlain Research has developed a lotion highly concentrated in serum to offer skin exceptional rebalancing and age-defying performance². Its extraordinary milky texture reinvents lotions' sensory signature. It reveals a richness never felt before⁵ and comforting softness as it infuses skin.
Orchid Equilibrium™ technology.
For the first time, the orchid oleo-concentrate and orchid water are combined in an unprecedented⁵ technology to reactivate the equilibrium of the skin’s ten vital layers², required for its perpetual regeneration. The orchid oleo-concentrate stimulates skin’s lipid flows, supplying it with omega 6, 7 and 9 nutrients, known as being essential for young skin to function correctly². Orchid water stimulates water flows. It encourages at once the production, capture and redistribution of water molecules such as hyaluronic acid and taurine to the skin’s different levels².
The Orchid Totum™ molecular extract: skin regeneration increased fivefold⁶.
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 appearance⁶. Regeneration is increased fivefold⁶. Skin’s vital forces are reactivated and signs of ageing visibly improved⁶. Skin recovers its youthful appearance.
The richness of a concentrated age-defying essence in a melt-in milky texture.
A real feat of formulation, The Essence-Lotion Concentrate’s texture reinvents lotions’ sensory signature. Concentrated with 22%¹ skincare essence for the first time, it aims to recreate the natural emulsion of skin’s hydrolipid film. It is infused with powerful water-capturing humectants to offer exceptional freshness on application, then comforting softness and hydration. Its formula delivers a luxurious and entirely unprecedented⁵ sensory experience, combining exceptional finesse, utter richness and naturalness with 96% naturally derived ingredients⁷.
The sophisticated, generously luxurious dispenser.
All The Essence-Lotion Concentrate’s power of longevity is captured in a new equally generous and sophisticated case. Its 140-ml glass dispenser features an elegant noirine gradation and its new pump delivers a generous dose of product.
