There are orchids, and then there are black orchids. Rare and enduring, the ebony-coloured bloom is native to the Peruvian Andes. Although it flowers only once a year during two short weeks, it adapts its metabolism to its environment and intelligently conserves its energy to optimise its longevity.
After over 15 years of research, Guerlain experts encapsulate the power of this black orchid to protect skin from ageing. Coined BlackImmune, it does so by ensuring skin devotes all its resources to regeneration. And this technology is what lies at the heart of French beauty brand’s age-defying Orchidée Impériale Black skincare range.
This brings us to the exceptional line’s latest addition, the n-Fusion Lotion. Designed to be the first step in the existing Orchidée Impériale Black routine, the lotion joins the existing Symbioserum, Cream and Eye And Lip Contour Cream to extend skin’s youthfulness.
With an infusion of BlackImmune, imu-peptides and Korean red ginseng, the pre-treatment works to instantly brighten, revitalise and even out skin tone. In the long run, fine lines are reduced, and skin looks smoother, firmer and plumper too.
This is also thanks to the lightweight formula’s nano-formulation. Billions of microdroplets instantly fuse with skin to target its natural defence mechanisms. The Orchidée Impériale Black n-Fusion Lotion simultaneously imparts a unique sensory experience. Balancing the freshness of a lotion with the richness of a serum, it leaves a second-skin finish.
Presented in a luxurious yet refillable black glass bottle, complete with a 24K gold-accented porcelain cap artisan-made by Maison Bernardaud. The Orchidée Impériale Black n-Fusion Lotion is now available at Guerlain boutiques at SGD1115 for 140 ML and SGD892 for a refill.
