French Week 2010 Day 6 - Cle de Peau

Today we are going to look at the Cle de Peau skincare line. I have not had the luxury of trying this brand since it is the ultimate in luxury skincare and therefore available nowhere near me. However, I have never read a bad review of any item from this line so I feel confident using it in my latest theme week. My first stop when looking at these products was the Bergdorf Goodman website and their rewrite of the brand.

"As a fusion of the most sophisticated technology and exquisitely refined aesthetics, Cle de Peau Beaute is not just the key to flawless skin - it is transforming experience. First introduced by Shiseido in 1982 and considered the world's first haute couture cosmetics collection, Cle de Peau Beaute is unique in its ability to translate scientific research on skin functionality into products of such pure perfection that they are the very essence of luxury and French refinement". Pure Parisian beauty...

The product that I have decided to look at is La Creme Face Cream, one of the premier products in their line of skincare products. This is one of the best skin creams available on the market today and is one of my most lusted after products.

"La Creme is an exceptionally luxurious revitalizing cream that brings unparalleled age-defying benefits to your complexion overnight. For beauty that endures time, Cle de Peau Beaute has always been committed to scientific advancements that optimize skin's very nature. Three major forces create a superior La Creme: Powerful anti-aging benefits: La Creme is newly formulated with scientifically advanced ingredients that comprehensively diminish the appearance of wrinkles, dark spots, and sagging. Overnight results: Texture, elasticity, and dullness are visibly improved overnight. Skin awakens to remarkable clarity and smoothness. Cutting-edge emulsification technology: A special emulsification technology creates the ultimate texture that not only delivers ingredients more deeply , quickly and effectively, but also enhances tangible benefits.

The Bergdorf website lists the key ingredients of this product. This skin cream is a mixture of some of the best anti-aging ingredients that are know to the skincare community. The first ingredient listed is one that is exclusive to Cle de Peau, 4MSK, which is a superior brightening ingredient that works to inhibit melanin activation. Retinol ACE improves skin's ability to counteract wrinkles. W-TC Complex is able to improve skin's epidermal cell metabolism. Cornflower (Centaurea Cyanus) Extract promotes the production of the protein that is the main component of the basement membrance. Wintergreen (Pyrola Incarnate) Extracts prevents damage to the basement membrane. Chai Hu Extract is known to increase the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid. Lastly, Saxifraga Extract is known to stabilize free radicals and inhibit the activation of enzymes that cause melanin formation.

The composition of this product seems like it would be too heavy for me to use right now and would be better in cooler weather. This does offer lighter weight hydrators so I can find one that will over the next two months. I am very hopeful that this face cream and also this company's cosmetics will give me the perfect French women skin.
