REPAIR THE SIGNS OF AGEING AT ITS FOUNDATIONS

15 YEARS OF RESEARCH, 9 PATENTS, 9 PUBLICATIONS

SKIN THAT REPAIRS POORLY AGES VISIBLY

Abeille Royale was brought to life by an intuition: the biological parallel between treatment mechanisms and those that repair the signs of ageing. The Guerlain technology draws on the repairing powers of honey, used for millennia as healing dressings, to develop a formula capable of targeting the skin’s self-repair mechanisms.

THE REPAIRING CONCENTRATE OF 3 BLACK BEE HONEYS

Thanks to an exclusive partnership with Restore-EQ4, a research centre specialised in rejuvenation science, Guerlain research has demonstrated the exceptional efficacy of its 3 Black Bee honeys. Selected among 300 honey samples analyzed, they help to stimulate fundamental mechanisms implied in skin repair.

FOR THE FIRST TIME¹, AN EXCLUSIVE ALCHEMY OF THREE BLACK BEE HONEYS AND ROYAL JELLY

Formulated with 99% naturally-derived ingredients², the Abeille Royale Youth Watery Oil Serum is enriched with an alchemy of three black bee honeys selected by Guerlain research. These honeys are sourced from exclusive channels.

¹At Guerlain.
²Calculation based on the international ISO 16128 standard, including water.

THE BLACK BEE, ENDEMIC TO WESTERN EUROPE

Across millennia, the Black Bee has succeeded in adapting to its environment thanks to its unique morphological characteristics, including its dark colour and resilience. These attributes allow it to produce honeys of the highest quality. Currently endangered, just a few of the world’s colonies survive which Guerlain research has managed to identify.

HONEY FROM OUESSANT ISLAND, BRITTANY, FRANCE

Just 18 km off the coast of Brittany, Ouessant Island, a UNESCO reserve, is a remote ecosystem. Endemic to the island, the Black Bee produces honey with exceptional properties benefiting from an abundance of amino acids, polyphenols and trace elements. Guerlain research has demonstrated that this honey helps to stimulate a marker of skin renewal by 50%¹.

¹In vitro test on ingredient.

HONEY FROM CONNEMARA LANDS, IRELAND,

On the West coast of Ireland, in remote, mountainous regions, Guerlain selected a repairing Black Bee honey with exceptional anti-ageing powers. This honey helps to increase natural hyaluronic acid production in the skin cells by 96%¹.

¹In vitro test on ingredient.

HONEY FROM THE WILD FORESTS OF TRØGSTAD, NORWAY

Deep within the wild forests of Norway lies a remote area home to the precious Black Bee whose honey has been selected by Guerlain for its restorative powers. This honey helps to stimulate an anti-ageing marker of repair in the skin cells by 87%¹.

¹In vitro test on ingredient.

EXCLUSIVE ROYAL JELLY

Produced in very little quantities, royal jelly is the hive’s rarest and most precious substance able to transform 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 channels in France. This royal jelly is a natural source of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and vitamins.

AN EXCLUSIVE DEEP DIFFUSION TEXTURE¹

Developed with the inimitable formulatory savoir-faire of the Guerlain laboratories, the Youth Watery Oil Serum’s proven deep diffusion texture reaches the heart of the epidermis for a powerful age-defying action from the first drops. Its light, universal texture infused with melt-in micro-beads instantly fuses with the skin for deep¹ and visible repair.

THE PLUMPING APPLICATION TECHNIQUE BY GUERLAIN SPA FACIALISTS

Step 1: gently shake the bottle.
Step 2: take the equivalent of a pipette full, around 10 drops, and warm in the palms of your hands.
Step 3: using the palms of your hands, smooth into the skin, starting in the middle of the face and moving outwards.
Step 4: replump by making fists with your hands, placing them on your cheeks, then making upward rotating movements.

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF A SERUM?
A serum is an essential step in your skincare routine. Before applying a cream, this fluid galenic allows the anti-ageing active ingredients to penetrate the epidermis.
 Abeille Royale Youth Watery Oil Serum, concentrated in powerful black bee honeys, deeply repairs¹ the signs of ageing, to plump skin with youth in one hour, and durably correct its firmness and elasticity.

¹In the epidermis.
WHEN SHOULD YOU USE THE SERUM?
Apply the serum morning and night on clean, dry skin, before your day or night cream. By making The Youth Watery Oil Serum part of your daily routine, your skin will look firmer, and wrinkles will be visibly reduced from the very first application.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SERUM?
The Youth Watery Oil Serum and Advanced Double R Renew & Repair Serum are the two iconic anti-ageing serums of the Abeille Royale range. The Youth Watery Oil Serum is a universal treatment for all skin types: deeply repairing skin from the very first drops¹, it can be used as soon as the first signs of ageing appear, and acts on wrinkles, skin plumpness and radiance. For a dual advanced anti-ageing correction, Double R Renew & Repair Advanced Serum offers expert peeling and lifting effects. It renews the epidermis, leaving skin firmer and more luminous, contours reshaped and pores refined.

WHY GUERLAIN BLACK BEE HONEYS?
Since the creation of Abeille Royale in 2010, Guerlain has analysed over 300 honey samples from all over the world, creating a unique database that makes Guerlain a pioneer in research into honey and its repairing powers.

For Abeille Royale Youth Watery Oil Serum, Guerlain research has selected 3 particularly rich black bee honeys, with dozens of different phytochemical compounds. This molecular complexity gives them exceptional anti-ageing repairing benefits, by helping to produce hyaluronic acid¹, but also by participating to the stimulations of skin repair² and renewal³.

Sourced from exclusive sources, they are hand-harvested in preserved areas: Ouessant (Brittany, France), Trogstad (Norway), Connemara (Ireland).

¹In vitro test on ingredient, Connemara honey. ²In vitro test on ingredient, Norwegian honey. ³In vitro test on ingredient, Ouessant honey.
WHAT MAKES GUERLAIN RESEARCH A PIONEER IN THE SCIENCE OF REPAIR?
For over 15 years, Abeille Royale has been the expert in skin repair using honey. Year after year, Guerlain research pushes back the understanding of repair mechanisms to visibly correct the signs of ageing.
For its 5th generation of technology, Guerlain has formed an exclusive partnership with Restore EQ-4¹, a research laboratory specialised in the science of rejuvenation. By stimulating the fundamental mechanisms involved in skin repair, Guerlain and Restore-EQ4¹ are paving the way for the science of repair.
