Guerlain Orchidee Imperiale Rich Cream

High regeneration and high nutrition drawn from the roots of youth. Orchidée Impériale The Rich Cream is an exceptional complete care that helps to regenerate ten vital layers of dry skin* to preserve, regenerate and prolong 12 signs of youth**. 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 fivefold***. Skin is visibly younger for longer. 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 ingredients****. The Rich Cream is now refillable. 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 nourished*****. Vital energy production is thus increased by 150%***. The hydrolipid balance is re-established, and the barrier function strengthened by 60%***. 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 appearance***. Regeneration is increased fivefold***. Skin’s vital forces are reactivated and signs of ageing visibly improved. Skin recovers its youthful appearance. The Rich Cream’s unique texture 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-fold******. 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. Designed like a precious jewel in its case, the Orchidée Impériale Rich Cream jar evokes an exquisite and refined pebble that has been part of GUERLAIN’s sustainable development approach since 2017. It is now designed using 40% recycled glass, 88% recycled plastic and its box has been optimised in terms of volume and weight (-20%******* and -8%******** respectively). The Rich Cream is now refillable. *In vitro test on ingredients - fundamental layers of the epidermis. **Clinical evaluation by a dermatologist, 32 women, 2 applications per day for 3 months, China. ***In vitro test on ingredients. ****Calculation based on the international ISO standard 16128, including water.
