GUERLAIN Orchidée Impériale The Longevity Concentrate

For the first time, the Orchidée Impériale Longevity Concentrate becomes refillable. Eco-designed, its refill combines elegance, lightness and practicality for long-term use. From the first refill, the environmental impact is reduced by -35%².

Over time, skin structure weakens, leading to a visible loss of density and firmness. The new Longevity Concentrate acts at the heart of skin¹ to reactivate cellular youth functions.

The culmination of 20 years' research, Guerlain has captured the exceptional power of the Vanda coerulea orchid. Capable of living for over one hundred years, its vital force has been concentrated in the patent-filed² ORCHID LONGEVITYᵀᴹ technology.

Cellular youth relies on biological mechanisms known as “longevity pathways” that weaken over time. After 20 years' research, Guerlain has demonstrated its ability to target a key marker of skin ageing: MAMs, dynamic youthful connections at the heart of 9 longevity pathways³.

For the first time encapsulated in liposome vectors, ORCHID LONGEVITYᵀᴹ technology has been augmented by a Phagoactive, making it possible to target a tenth longevity pathway⁴: mitophagy, the process of recycling damaged or ageing mitochondria⁴.

Anticipating cells' needs, it helps to increase the mitochondria's defence capabilities by 20%⁴ to prevent damage and helps to reactivate their renewal by 21%⁴ when they have deteriorated. Cell vitality is revived⁴, revealing a skin full of youth.

In one month, skin feels denser and firmer⁵. Face contours are redefined⁵, skin's substance feels deeply recreated.

¹In the epidermis. ²Vanda coerulea combined with a patent-filed complex FR 25 05500.
³In vitro and ex vivo test on ingredients.
⁴In vitro test on ingredients.
⁵Clinical evaluation by a dermatologist, 21 women and 9 men, 2 applications per day.

Directions

More than ever, Orchidée Impériale has been inspired by the Guerlain Spas' comprehensive approach to longevity to support women in their global approach to youthfulness and well-being.

This collaboration has given rise to the longevity protocol, a series of massage techniques developed by the Maison's expert facialists, conducive to visibly mastering skin's youthfulness.
