GOLD NOBILE TECHNOLOGY: REJUVENATION AND RADIANCE

Guerlain research has demonstrated that biophoton emission by skin cells varies with age, revealing a key indicator of youth.
Building on 20 years’ expertise in orchids and cell ageing, the Orchidarium’s experts have identified an exceptional orchid: the Gold Nobile. Endemic to the Himalayan region, it has the ability to combine several photosynthesis mechanisms to turn the sun’s light into energy.
This energy is captured via a biotechnological process¹ to create the Gold Nobile technology. It helps to restore biophoton emission by old cells to a level approaching that of young cells², promotes the cell rejuvenation process and helps to reestablish an ideal structure for light diffusion, while reducing age-related “light traps”³.

¹Made in Europe. ²In vitro test on ingredient. ³Action on the amount and distribution of melanin, glycated proteins.

DOUBLE POWER TO RENEW YOUTH AND RADIANCE

THE ENZYMATIC ORCHID COMPLEX

The Enzymatic Orchid Complex combines 4 highly concentrated active ingredients: prickly pear extract to exfoliate, orchid hydrolat to hydrate, an anti-ageing peptide to smooth and niacinamide for more even skin¹. Together, they reactivate skin’s radiance and regeneration.
Inspired by natural exfoliation mechanisms, this complex offers a double resurfacing and renewing action: it boosts epidermal renewal while delicately refining skin texture.
By encouraging the removal of dull cells and smoothing the microrelief, it helps to amplify the reflection of light on skin’s surface and revive skin’s natural radiance.

THOUSANDS OF RESTRUCTURING MICROSPHERES

Developed exclusively for Guerlain, these golden microspheres infused with the orchid oleo-concentrate combine high technical and sensory expertise. They act in affinity with skin to reinforce its structure and boost its receptivity.
By releasing their active ingredients on contact with the epidermis, they support cell cohesion to promote a more even skin texture, creating the ideal conditions for optimal light diffusion.

AN EXCEPTIONAL BOTTLE, THE SIGNATURE OF RESPONSIBLE LUXURY

Formulated with 97% naturally-derived ingredients¹, its silky patented² high-tech texture melts on contact with skin, leaving a subtly scented veil.
Born of the meeting between extreme sophistication and contemporary eco-awareness, The Goldessence embodies an iconic beauty object. Its elongated bottle in pure lines is topped with a golden brushed aluminium cap.
Its refillable design makes it possible to limit aluminium and plastic consumption³. Containing at least 15% recycled material, its glass bottle is mainly recyclable and entirely in line with the Maison’s eco-design concept, to radiate light with a carefully considered, responsible approach.

¹Calculation based on the international ISO standard 16128, including water.
²Patent granted EP 3727281.
³Refillable up to five times.

GUERLAIN SPA FACIALISTS’ SIGNATURE TECHNIQUE TO REVIVE THE PRODIGIOUS RADIANCE OF YOUTH

1. ACTIVATION: Gently shake the bottle to suspend the microspheres at the heart of the light-activating solution.

2. SENSORY APPLICATION: Dispense The Goldessence in the palm of the hand, then apply to the face in broad circular movements, working outwards, not forgetting the neck.

3. DRAINAGE: Applying light pressure with the edge of the index finger, smooth the features from the middle of the face outwards, line by line, working upwards. Finish with a drainage movement along the neck to boost radiance.

4. ENERGISING PULSE: Make light tapping movements with the fingertips to activate the microcirculation and restore skin’s vitality.

WHAT DOES AN ANTI-AGEING LOTION LIKE GOLDESSENCE DO?
Much more than a first step, the Goldessence is the key that begins the Orchidée Impériale Gold Nobile ritual. It helps restore the skin’s ideal path of light by refining texture, smoothing the micro-relief and reducing irregularities that block its diffusion. Ideally hydrated and restructured, the skin captures and reflects light better, revealing a smoother and more luminous skin.
HOW QUICKLY CAN YOU SEE THE FIRST RESULTS FROM THE GOLDESSENCE ANTI-AGING LOTION?
From the very first application, the skin is smoother, more hydrated and brighter. After 1 week, its light diffusion is amplified and the complexion reveals the radiance of its youth. Day after day, skin texture is refined and the path of light progressively restored for a more luminous and youthful appearance.
IS THE GOLDESSENCE ALSO A BRIGHTENING LOTION?
Yes. Beyond its anti-aging power, the Goldessence helps refine skin texture and enhance radiance, revealing a more even and luminous complexion.
Enriched with the Orchid Enzymatic Complex, combining prickly pear extract, orchid hydrolat, an anti-ageing peptide and niacinamide, it boosts epidermal renewal while delicately refining skin texture to revive skin’s natural radiance.
After one month, skin appears 4 tones lighter¹ and women observe that dark spot intensity is reduced by 30%².

¹Clinical evaluation, Pantone scale, 32 women, 2 applications per day. ²Self-scoring, 32 women, 2 applications per day.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANTI-AGING LOTION AND ANTI-AGING CREAM?
A lotion like the Goldessence is the activating step of the ritual: it prepares the skin, helps restore its ideal path of light and boosts receptivity to the following treatments. The Cream then seals the ritual, amplifying rejuvenation, smoothing wrinkles and restoring density. Together, they form a complementary duo for visibly younger-looking and more radiant skin.
HOW DO I RECHARGE THE GOLDESSENCE?
The Goldessence is refillable¹. Once your bottle is empty, simply keep the cap and pump, then screw them onto the new refill bottle. A refined and responsible gesture to extend the life of your precious flacon while reducing waste.

¹Refillable up to 5 times.
