  • What is retinol?

    Retinol is an active form of vitamin A, a vitamin that contributes to healthy skin. It stimulates cell renewal for a regenerating and smoothing effect and stimulates collagen production. It is therefore known to act on even deep wrinkles, radiance and firmness of the skin.

  • What is an anti-wrinkle product?

    An anti-wrinkle product is a cosmetic product that seeks to reduce the appearance of wrinkles by smoothing the skin, or even to fight against their appearance. It is not a miracle solution because wrinkles can set in over the years, due to the intrinsic aging of the skin, but also external factors that can accentuate them (overexposure to the sun, smoking, pollution, etc.). This is why it is important to choose products that are well suited to your situation among targeted, smoothing or regenerating anti-wrinkle treatments. Without forgetting daily sun protection!

  • What is the difference between Pure Skincare and Pure Actives?

    Pure Skincare products do not contain any active ingredients, to take care of skin every day, without needlessly irritating it. Pure Actives offer a targeted action to treat skin problems when necessary (1 Pure Active = 1 skin issue). Healthy skin with no particular issues does not need Pure Actives.

  • Pure Active: how is this different from a serum?

    In terms of the way it is used, Pure Actives are applied like a serum: to clean skin before your face cream, to provide a specific action.
    But, unlike a serum, our Pure Actives only contain a single, perfectly dosed, active molecule, which precisely targets a skin issue. This means that they are ultra-safe, since there’s no risk of a cocktail effect (piling up different active ingredients). And our INSkin™ patent helps it to penetrate down to where it needs to be in the skin.

  • Pure Active: should I apply it before or after my face cream?

    Always before your moisturising cream, but most importantly, always on clean skin. Thanks to their drop-by-drop bottles, Pure Actives are applied in small quantities, where they are needed (see the detailed instructions for each product).

  • What is the maximum number of Pure Actives that I can apply to my skin?

    We recommend applying no more than 2 Pure Actives at once to your face (1 Pure Active after the other, to clean skin before applying your face cream). In most cases, the best solution is to treat one problem at a time with a Pure Active. If you apply multiple active substances on your skin there is a risk of over-treating it.

  • How long should a Pure Active be used for?

    Pure Actives should be used like a “course of treatment”, for between 3 and 8 weeks depending on the active ingredient and the benefit in question. That’s why we package them in small anti-UV containers suited to short-term use. To ensure they stay effective, you should store them away from heat and light, and for no more than 6 months. You’ll find usage instructions for each Pure Active on the product pages on the site.

  • Do your products contain fragrances?

    Our Pure Actives do not contain fragrances, nor do some of the other care products such as the Moisturising Eye Contour Fluid, the Melting Exfoliating Gel and the Express Purifying Mask. The majority of our Pure Skincare products are very lightly scented to make them pleasant to use while being kind to skin. We carefully select our fragrances, which we create ourselves, and make sure they are free from allergens and sensitising substances.

  • Are your products tested on animals?

    No, in accordance with the applicable European cosmetics regulations, our products and the ingredients they contain are not tested on animals. Toxicology experts have evaluated our formulas’ perfect tolerance. And, of course, our products are tested under dermatological and ophthalmological supervision if necessary.

  • Do your products contain preservatives?

    In order to protect our formulas from contamination, we use the necessary amount of natural preservatives (black radish extract, potassium sorbate or capryloyl glycine). We also use airless bottles, pumps and tubes to limit the risk of contamination, and therefore the quantity of preservatives.
