THE LIFE FORCE OF THE VANDA COERULEA ORCHID TO REVIVE CELLULAR YOUTH FROM THE ROOTS

The new Longevity Light Cream is Guerlain age-defying skincare that revives cell longevity at its root for visibly mastered youthfulness. Enriched with a patented duo of hyaluronic acids¹, its light formula diffuses a wave of hydrating freshness into all the layers of the epidermis.

The culmination of twenty years’ research, Guerlain has captured the exceptional power of longevity of an orchid: Vanda coerulea. Capable of living for over one hundred years, it is known as the “flower of ten thousand generations”. Its vital force has been concentrated in the new patent-pending² ORCHID LONGEVITYᵀᴹ technology.

For the first time, Guerlain has demonstrated the ability of this age-defying concentrate to revive youth connections within skin cells at the heart of nine longevity pathways³. Cell vitality augments by 196%⁴, encouraging high skin regeneration.

Each day⁵, youthfulness is diffused into the epidermis⁶, revealing skin that is smooth, fresh and glowing with health.

PATENT FILED¹ ORCHID LONGEVITYᵀᴹ TECHNOLOGY TO ACTIVATE 9 LONGEVITY PATHWAYS²

Cellular youth relies on a set of biological mechanisms known as “longevity pathways”. With age, these pathways weaken and the cell loses its ability to maintain skin’s youthfulness.

After 20 years’ research, Guerlain has succeeded in amplifying nine longevity pathways², creating ORCHID LONGEVITYᵀᴹ technology infused with the life force of the Vanda coerulea. For the first time, Guerlain has demonstrated its ability to target a key biological marker of ageing in skin cells – MAMs: dynamic youth connections at the heart of longevity pathways².

Cell vitality augments by 196%³, they recover their ability to regenerate the components essential for youthful skin.

THE ULTIMATE ALLIANCE OF HIGH EFFICACY, SENSORIALITY AND NATURALNESS

VANDA COERULEA: A LONGEVITY PRODIGY, A JEWEL OF THE GUERLAIN ORCHIDARIUM®

Vanda coerulea stands out among more than 30,000 orchid species for its exceptional longevity. Capable of living for over one hundred years, it is known as “the flower of ten thousand generations”. An epiphyte, it overhangs the canopy, wrapping its gigantic network of roots, which can reach more than ten metres long, around the tree trunk. Its impressive biomass and wealth of phytochemicals have fascinated the Guerlain Orchidarium®’s researchers for 16 years. They have identified more than 35 compounds of interest¹ in it, which have been the subject of over ten scientific publications.
