This is indeed the cream of the crop
And it will save you so much time
Be honest: how many layers of skincare do you apply to your face in the morning? One cream helps nourish your skin, another fills in fine lines, and yet another product fights dark spots. It's difficult to combine all the ingredients in a product because they can sometimes diminish each other's active powers and because it can be tricky to get all those different ingredients onto your face in the right dosage. I already wrote about the moment when Lancôme launched the rather revolutionary H.C.F. Triple Serum last year. They even applied for a patent on it, it's that unique.
Years of research
That's why Lancôme has conducted years of research to achieve the impossible: bringing everything you desire in skincare into one cream. Et voilà, the Rénergie H.P.N. 300-Peptide Cream is born.
What do you want from a cream?
Three things.
- First, you want your skin to be nourished and stimulated to produce more collagen and elastin. Do you remember I wrote that your skin loses a teaspoon of elasticity every year after you turn thirty? That's what we want to combat wherever possible. The ingredient you need for that is peptide. Peptides form a chain of amino acids and thus stimulate your skin to produce collagen. Because you can never have enough peptides, the clever minds at Lancôme gathered not one, not two, but three hundred in a jar. Hence the 300 in the name, exactly. Also worth mentioning is that Lancôme has discovered new peptides and that while most creams work with synthetic peptides, Lancôme has succeeded in processing peptides from plant extracts. Flaxseed, lupine, and peas are the suppliers of the green peptides. Nice to know, right?
- Furthermore, you want fine lines to be filled in. For that, hyaluron is the secret weapon. Hyaluron can absorb up to a thousand times its own weight, so it has an intensely filling effect. Ideal for the fine, dry lines around your eyes and mouth.
- Then there are those pigment spots that increase more and more with the years. Niacinamide is the ingredient that sharpens the knives for the fight against skin aging.
And then this
The cream is as you would expect from Lancôme: it has the finest, soft, sorbet-like texture that is quickly absorbed by your skin. And yes, of course, it smells nice. Lancôme, remember?
And it is suitable for all women, so both for our fruity Lotte who just turned thirty and for yours truly who just turned fifty.
I won't tire your brain with all the scientific details, but I have the reports available for you that explain exactly how it works and what an enormous effect all this has on all layers of your skin. I can certainly speak for myself when I say that after a month of use, I notice that my skin feels nourished, even, soft, and filled. And that I look forward to my skincare ritual because applying the cream is just a lovely me-moment.
And oh yes, did I mention that the packaging is refillable and therefore better for the environment? Those clever minds at Lancôme.
