EVERYONE wants to have beautiful, flawless skin, regardless of their age. Since L’Occitane discovered Immortelle, the brand has patented the exceptional anti-ageing powers of this Corsican flower.

The latest research by the brand reveals that “glycation” is actually the key factor of ageing. As we grow older, a carbohydrate-rich diet combined with a slower metabolism leads to imbalance. Sugars react with proteins in the body and become “glacated” proteins, which build up in skin cells and connect the collagen fibres in the dermis, leading to the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Enriched in pure and micro-encapsulated Immortelle essential oil derived from 1,001 flowers, the new Immortelle Precious Serum is a highly concentrated serum with an opalescent gel texture, which can protect skin from glycation, improve skin firmness and fight against wrinkles.

This high performance serum contains organic Immortelle cell extracts and a new complex based on Helianthus seeds that is said to act on the three steps of collagen life: stimulation, anti-glycation and deglycation, resulting in a visibly smoother skin surface, the firmness restored. Over time, skin is rebuilt and replenished to a more youthful-looking state.

Price: RM237. Sold at L’Occitane stores.
