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.

40% SKINCARE OIL FOR OPTIMAL COMFORT

The Oil in Gel is enriched with orchid oleo-concentrate composed of 90% oleo acids, elements that make up young skin. It supplies the epidermis with the lipids and nutrients required for cells’ cohesion and energetic activity¹, such as omega -6s, -7s and -9s.

It is also formulated with 40% skincare oil, particularly concentrated in jojoba oil, which helps to dissolve and remove impurities thanks to its sebum-mimetic composition.

¹In vitro test on ingredients.

THE RICHNESS OF SKINCARE FOR ULTRA-GENTLE MAKE-UP REMOVAL

Composed of 98% naturally-derived ingredients¹, its oil-in-gel texture fuses with skin thanks to its high squalane concentration for effective yet ultra-gentle make-up removal. Its texture gradually melts under the fingers, melting into an oil to capture make-up particles, even waterproof.

On contact with water, The Oil in Gel turns into a milk for optimal skin comfort. Skin is soft and visibly hydrated.

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

THE EXCEPTIONAL CLEANSING RITUAL

Step 1: apply a small amount of product to dry skin.
Step 2: massage with the fingertips in circular movements all over the face, paying particular attention to eyes and lips.
Step 3: add water so that the texture lathers into a milky veil and repeat the movements.
Step 4: rinse off with clean water.

THE IMPERIAL LONGEVITY RITUAL

IS THE OIL IN GEL SUITABLE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES?
Yes, the Oil in Gel is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin, as well as for the eye contour, including sensitive eyes.
CAN THE OIL IN GEL BE USED TO REMOVE WATERPROOF MAKEUP?
The essential first step of the Orchidée Impériale ritual, the Oil in Gel effectively captures lipophilic particles and can be used on the face, eyes, and lips. Its translucent oil in gel texture melts into the skin thanks to its ideal squalane content, enveloping it in softness for a sensorial makeup removal experience. Gradually, the gel refines under the fingertips and transforms into an oil to dissolve makeup, even waterproof.
Then, upon contact with water, it turns into a fine milky veil that effectively removes impurities. The Oil in Gel leaves the skin with a velvety softness and an immediate sensation of comfort, without any greasy residue.
WHAT OTHER PRODUCTS COMPLEMENT THE OIL IN GEL IN A SKINCARE ROUTINE?
To complement the Oil in Gel 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.
