THE ORCHID, A WONDER OF LONGEVITY

At the origins of Guerlain’s exceptional complete care, a fascinating flower playing with time: the orchid. Queen in the plant kingdom, it possesses prodigious longevity mechanisms, some even live to be a hundred years. Convinced of its infinite potential for the skin, Guerlain created, more than fifteen years ago, the first research centre ever dedicated to an ingredient: the Orchidarium®. Experts have identified a prodigious duo of orchids selected out of 30,000 species and concentrated their power in high regeneration technologies.

A CONCENTRATION OF ORCHID TECHNOLOGIES TO PROMOTE SKIN REGENERATION

ORCHID EQUILIBRIUM™ TECHNOLOGY

ORCHID EQUILIBRIUM™ technology concentrates two powerful orchid extracts: orchid oleo-concentrate and orchid water. Orchid oleo-concentrate stimulates lipid flows in skin by supplying it with omega-6s, -7s and -9s, nutrients required for cells’ cohesion and energetic activity. Orchid water stimulates water flows. It encourages at once the production, capture and redistribution of water molecules such as hyaluronic acid and taurine to skin’s different levels¹.

ORCHID TOTUM™ MOLECULAR EXTRACT

ORCHID TOTUM™ MOLECULAR EXTRACT
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 appearance¹.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I CLEANSE MY FACE WITH THE FOAM IN CREAM?
Apply after the Oil in Gel in the evening, or alone in the morning, the Foam in Cream is an essential step in the Orchidée Impériale longevity ritual, for a deep purification of the skin.
IS THE FOAM IN CREAM SUITABLE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES?

WHAT OTHER PRODUCTS COMPLEMENT THE FOAM IN CREAM IN A SKINCARE ROUTINE?
To complement the Foam in Cream in your skincare routine, a selection of exceptional treatments is essential to maximize the anti-aging benefits of Guerlain's Orchidée Impériale line.
Begin by pairing the Oil in Gel with the Foam in Cream for a deep double cleanse. Then, prepare the skin with the rebalancing Essence-Lotion Concentrate, followed by the Micro-Lift Concentrate for a firming effect. Continue with The Molecular Concentrate Eye Cream for the eye contour, and finish with the Orchidée Impériale Longevity Cream for optimal regeneration.
Each step of this routine relies on luxurious textures that provide the skin with exceptional sensoriality and instant comfort.
WHAT IS DOUBLE CLEANSING AND WHY IS IT RECOMMENDED?
Daily exposure to external aggressors such as pollution affects the skin’s beauty and health, leading to a loss of hydration and suppleness. It is essential to cleanse the skin thoroughly to preserve its radiance and longevity.
Already deeply rooted in the meticulous skincare rituals of Asian women, double cleansing has become the gold standard for maintaining youthful skin. It effectively removes impurities that can clog the skin while deeply purifying it.
In the first step, the Oil in Gel dissolves oily substances and lipophilic impurities such as makeup, even waterproof, as well as sebum that has oxidized from exposure to air.
In the second step, the Foam in Cream targets hydrophilic particles such as pollutants and dust. Once thoroughly cleansed, the skin is more receptive to the treatments that follow. This enhances its ability to regenerate and helps extend its longevity.
