What It Is: Guerlain has reinvented its Orchidée Impériale Black Cream in an exceptional art edition created by French designer Ora Ito in partnership with Maison Bernardaud. The power of the Black Orchid is enhanced in Augmented Blackimmune™ Technology, which supports skin's self-defense. What It Does: A culmination of 20 years of research, the Orchidée Impériale Black skincare line has reinvented its Cream, the ultimate High-Cosmetics jewel. Set at its heart, the power of the Black Orchid is now enhanced in the Augmented Blackimmune™ Technology, which for the first time supports skin's self-defense² to help restore skin's youthful potential. The new Augmented Blackimmune™ Technology amplifies the powers of the Black Orchid and supports the skin's self-defense, from the epidermis to the heart of the skin. With repeated application, skin is revitalized and its youthful potential rediscovered. Stronger and more resistant, skin appears younger, as if untouched by the visible effects of time. Inspired by traditional craftsmanship, The Cream is now manufactured via an exclusive semi-manual process under meticulous human supervision. It reveals an irresistible fineness and fusion with skin, acting like a shield against the visible effects of time. Day after day, wrinkles fade away, skin texture is refined and the facial contours are redefined. After using a single jar of The Cream, the skin visibly appears eight years younger. Formulated with 95% naturally derived ingredients, The Cream is nestled in a refillable porcelain jar, reinvented in an art edition designed by Ora Ito and hand-crafted by Maison Bernardaud. The Cream reveals a new enchantingly feminine fragrance signature, created by Delphine Jelk, Guerlain's nose. For the first time at Guerlain , a scented concentrate features a molecule that acts on olfactory receptors² and can also help to support the skin barrier. ²In vitro test on ingredient. How to Use: Developed by Guerlain facialists, the application technique has been tailor-made to amplify The Cream's effects. Apply in the morning and evening to the face and neck after The n-Fusion Lotion, The Symbioserum, and The Eye and Lip Contour Cream. Step 1: Roll the tool horizontally from one side of the face to the other. Step 2: Continue from the middle of the face towards the ears and from the eyebrows to the hairline. Step 3: Make back-and-forth movements over the most marked areas of the face. Step 4: Tap with the tool, beginning with the eye contour, draw a horizontal figure eight to move from one eye to the other, then move to the contours of the lips and face. How to Refill: Remove the old cream from the bottom of the jar, pushing from the side. Click the new refill (sold separately) into place, aligning the opening in the bottom of the jar with the square on the underside of the refill.
