YOUTH-SCULPTING FACIALIST SKINCARE

The Fundamental Oil is an exceptional morpho-sculpting skincare developed with the Guerlain Spas expert facialists. After 20 years’ research, Guerlain has created Orchid Morpho-Peptideᵀᴹ technology, which targets skin’s anchoring bonds required to maintain a youthful morphology¹. Infused with this technology, The Fundamental Oil visibly delays the appearance of the structural signs of ageing such as wrinkles, skin sagging and cheek folds.
A real feat of formulation, its bi-phase texture combines Orchid Morpho-Peptideᵀᴹ technology with a blend of 20 precious oils, including revitalising orchid oleo-concentrate. Richness and finesse come together, offering a feeling of rapid absorption and instantly transforming skin to leave it visibly softer, more supple and more elastic, perfect for beginning a resculpting massage.

ORCHID MORPHO-PEPTIDEᵀᴹ TECHNOLOGY TARGETS SKIN’S MORPHOLOGICAL BONDS

Skin’s visible youthfulness is conditioned by its elastic resistance, in other words its capacity to absorb mechanical stress (micro-expressions, gravity, prolonged pressure), encouraging the visible signs of ageing to gradually take hold.
After over 20 years’ pioneering research into longevity, Guerlain has combined the regenerating power of the orchid with the morphological expertise of Guerlain Spas facialists to create Orchid Morpho-Peptideᵀᴹ technology. It helps to reinforce the morphological bonds at the heart of the epidermis¹, which provide real support for skin’s elastic resistance against the visible signs of ageing.

THE BI-PHASE OIL: A VIRTUOSIC FORMULA AND EFFICACY BOOSTER

The fruit of Guerlain’s formulation excellence, The Fundamental Oil offers comfort and efficacy in one.
It is 80% made up of a phase containing 20 precious oils, including revitalising orchid oleo-concentrate, and 20% of an essence concentrated in Orchid Morpho-Peptideᵀᴹ technology.

Formulated with 98.3% naturally-derived ingredients¹, this alchemical balance creates skincare of incredible finesse. After shaking, its two phases blend together for rapid absorption and intense skin nutrition with no greasy finish. As if plumped up from within, skin is visibly smoother and more toned.
Its crystalline texture is showcased at the heart of an amber bottle comprising at least 15% recycled glass.

THE MORPHO-SCULPTING PROTOCOL DRAWN UP BY GUERLAIN SPAS EXPERT FACIALISTS

Guerlain is revealing its first Orchidée Impériale skincare morpho-protocol, a complete ritual devoted to the areas of the face, neck and décolleté, designed to delay the appearance of the structural signs of ageing.

STEP 1: THE FUNDAMENTAL OIL - SCULPT: This oil tangibly improves skin’s morphological properties (elasticity, tone, plumpness). After shaking, apply the oil over the face, then perform the movements designed to redefine facial volumes.

STEP 2: THE NECK AND DÉCOLLETÉ CREAM - REMODEL: Gently warm the cream in your hands then perform the movements aiming to resculpt and provide enhanced support for the neck and décolleté areas.

STEP 3: THE MASK - SMOOTH: Apply the mask with a brush to envelop skin in a comforting, revitalizing veil and visibly relax the facial features.
