Regenerating range
HOW would you like your skin to be “reborn”?
With the new Secret de Vie range, Lancôme’s researchers have discovered a way of breathing new life into the very heart of cells to regenerate skin. Extrait de Vie, the star ingredient, is a unique concentrate said to boost cell metabolism and kick-start the skin’s basic functions.
The range includes a reviving night treatment called Secret de Vie Night that acts while you sleep, when cell renewal is most intense. It contains both Extrait de Vie and Extrait de Nuit, a unique complex of rare active ingredients known to boost cell metabolism as well as black tea and Chondrus Crispus (red algae) essence.
Also, for the first time, R.A.R.E. technology is available in the entire beauty routine from Lancome including its foundation, thanks to an innovation within the range.
The new Teint Rénergie Lift R.A.R.E. foundation with SPF 20 allows the ultra-lifting care programme of Rénergie Morpholift R.A.R.E. to be optimised while replenishing firmness and radiance. The formula contains an extract of Laminaria ochroleuca, claimed to be both an antioxidant and a powerful collagen synthesis, that helps restore firmness and density to skin, day after day.
To optimise this action, it has also been enriched with a silica-based lifting complex, which instantly forms a tensing network over the skin surface. Six natural shades, from warm to cool, have been specifically developed for Asian skin.
Available at Lancome counters.
