The Advanced Youth Watery Oil combines the most powerful bee products selected by Guerlain research to allow the skin to repair itself 9 times faster¹. Skin looks plumped-up and is visibly younger. Its non-greasy formula is made of 95% naturally-derived ingredients².
To celebrate World Bee Day, the Advanced Youth Watery Oil comes in a new limited-edition bottle, created by the visual artist Tomáš Libertíny. He celebrates the bee, a real sentinel of the environment and guide for Guerlain’s sustainable commitment. His design evokes the light of a garden in springtime, and the phrase that he has chosen to affix to it – “What you give is what you get” – is a way of talking about his work with bees and paying homage to them, reminding us that the collective is more important than the individual. Something perfectly embodied by bees, which are capable of sacrificing themselves for the common good. For the artist, this gift that expects nothing in return is a positive value that can make the world a better place.

The Dynamic Blackbee Repair technology combines the most powerful bee products, selected by Guerlain Research: the exceptional Black Bee honey from Ouessant Island (Brittany, France), enriched with three other honeys from unspoilt islands (Corsica, Ikaria and Åland) and an exclusive royal jelly. This exclusive technology inspired by the latest discoveries in neuroscience accelerates the skin’s natural repair mechanisms.

HONEY FROM OUESSANT ISLAND, BRITTANY, FRANCE
Just 18 km off the coast of Brittany is the Island of Ouessant, a UNESCO biosphere reserve with an ecosystem that is parasite-free and protected from pesticides. On this island, the Black Bee produces honey of unrivalled purity, with exceptional properties. Rich in amino acids, trace elements and high in fructose-content, this honey offers the essential ingredients that are vital in the visible repair process of signs of aging.
CORSICAN HONEY, FRANCE
At the heart of the Mediterranean is the famous Corsican maquis, a nature reserve protected by the European Union and an inexhaustible source of a variety of essences. Withing this protected environment with its particularly rich flora, the bees have adapted to create an exceptional honey bursting with trace elements.
EXCLUSIVE ROYAL JELLY
Produced in very small quantities, royal jelly is the most precious substance from the beehive, capable of transforming an ordinary bee into a queen with exceptional vitality. To guarantee the high quality and traceability of its royal jelly, Guerlain has developed its own exclusive sourcing in France. The royal jelly is a natural source of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and vitamins.
IKARIA HONEY, GREECE
The mountainous island of Ikaria, in the Aegean Sea, is considered to be one of the world's five "blue zones", recognised for the exceptionally high life expectancy of its populations. Beekeeping on the island remains traditional and takes place in a protected environment. The bees make a precious forest honey that is remarkably high in minerals.
ÅLAND HONEY, FINLAND
The Åland archipelago in Finland is a UNESCO biosphere reserve. It is located in the Baltic Sea and home to bees that are incredibly resistant to the cold climate. Its forests are highly biodiverse and contain a wide range of melliferous trees that help its bees to create a unique honey distinctive for its abundance of amino acids.

TOMÁŠ LIBERTÍNY, THE ARTIST WHO ELEVATES NATURE TO AN ART FORM
Tomáš Libertíny was born in Slovakia in 1979. He lives and works in Rotterdam as an artist and designer. His work ranges from engineering to industrial design through painting and sculpture. His practice combines the technical expertise of industrial design with the poetry inherent in art, with a view to creating objects that question the interactions between nature, humans and technology. His approach is perfectly illustrated by his series on and with bees through which he introduces the concept of “slow prototyping,” such as his seminal Honeycomb Vase in 2006. Reproducing the natural construction process for the hive, the designer provides the insects with different moulds that will lead to the creation of beeswax structures.
Thanks to his in-depth knowledge of their natural environment, the artist constructs a light structure on which living bees swarm and regurgitate food, bringing his works to life. For the creation of Nefertiti’s bust, Tomáš Libertíny built the framework of his wax sculpture and then two years and 60,000 bees were required for it to take on its final shape. The artist plays the role of designer, giving free rein to the bees, which have all the time in the world to do their creative work.
ABEILLE ROYALE YOUTH RITUAL
By combining the fundamental repairing action of the new Advanced Youth Watery Oil with Double R Serum's expert double action with a peeling and a lifting effect, the skin's youthfulness is visibly amplified. Skin looks visibly 5 years younger¹ (clinically proven).
