At the source of Guerlain exceptional complete care products, a fascinating flower playing with time: the orchid. Queen in the plant kingdom, it possesses prodigious cell longevity mechanisms, enabling it to bloom for years. Convinced of its infinite potential for the skin, Guerlain created, more than 15 years ago, the first research center ever dedicated to an ingredient: the Orchidarium®. Researchers have identified a prodigious duo of orchids selected from more than 30,000 species, and consolidated their power into high revitalization technologies.

The Longevity Concentrate is enriched with the Cell Respiration™ technology which concentrates the exceptional replenishment power drawn from an extraordinary duo of orchids. It helps regulate cellular respiration, fight oxygen deficiency and improve skin revitalisation¹. Signs of ageing are visibly improved.

The Longevity Concentrate is also enriched with tigernut extract for a redensifying effect¹, and with rosa multiflora fruit extract, that acts on the pores². Tigernut sedge is a herbaceous plant belonging to the same botanical family as papyrus. The small tubers are used in ayurvedic and traditional chinese medicine for its numerous properties. Rosa multiflora is one of the best-known wild rose species in Asia, particularly in Japan. The hips are red to purple when ripe and contain a number of active molecules, in particular flavonoids.
