Product Information

DESCRIPTION

Enriched with a collagen-revitalising complex, the serum acts on the look of all the skin's youth parameters*. At the heart of its exclusive complex is polyfractioned Vanilla Planifolia, which has a 40-times-higher concentration of active molecules than the raw plant material, along with two other powerful active ingredients selected for their complementary effects on collagen revitalisation. For skin that appears denser, smoother and beautifully radiant.
SUBLIMAGE Le Sérum features a velvety formula that melts effortlessly into the skin, enveloping it in a feeling of freshness and softness. Quickly absorbed by the skin, it makes it easier to apply the subsequent products in the SUBLIMAGE skincare ritual.
The refill, crafted from drawn glass, fits into the SUBLIMAGE Le Sérum bottle, creating a visually harmonious glass-within-glass effect.
*Defined by CHANEL Research for a comprehensive effect on: hydration, comfort, wrinkles, structure, uniformity, strength and radiance.

Benefits

Immediately after application, skin appears smooth and luminous; it emanates sublime radiance.
Day after day, the contours of the face appear revived and skin appears firmer.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

CHANEL Research developed an exclusive formula enriched with a high concentration of powerful active ingredients, which were selected for their complementary effects on the skin. These active ingredients revive the skin all the way down to its collagen for skin that appears firmer, smoother and beautifully radiant.
Vanilla Planifolia: Identified by CHANEL in 1995 and selected from among more than 117 varieties of vanilla, Vanilla Planifolia is extraordinarily rich in polyketones. It is grown and harvested in the CHANEL open-sky laboratory in Madagascar.
To obtain its signature SUBLIMAGE active ingredient, CHANEL Research developed Vanilla Planifolia polyfractioning after several years of study. This unique process makes it possible to concentrate the active molecules from the plant in three successive steps: extraction, purification and molecular distillation.
Polyfractioned Vanilla Planifolia, the product of this long and meticulous patented process, is an active ingredient that has a 40-times-higher concentration of active molecules than the raw plant material.
CHANEL Research has brought the power of this active ingredient to light and demonstrated that polyfractioned Vanilla Planifolia revives collagen structure by 49%**, helping it to feel rejuvenated.
A lipopeptide stimulates collagen synthesis.
Solidago extract protects the skin's collagen fibres.
*Ex vivo test on active ingredient.
**Ex vivo test on active ingredient; percent improvement in the ratio of beta-sheet/alpha-helix collagen structures.

HOW TO USE

Apply SUBLIMAGE Le Sérum before SUBLIMAGE La Crème every morning and evening.
To revive the skin, apply a few drops of SUBLIMAGE Le Sérum to the forehead and cheeks. Use both hands to smooth over the face from the centre outwards.
Complement the benefits of the serum by performing the signature massage technique: LE GESTE SUBLIME RADIANCE.
This technique was inspired by the professional expertise offered by CHANEL skincare experts at our beauty spaces.
Bend the fingers and massage from the centre of the face outwards, performing deep circular movements.

1 - BELOW THE JAWLINE
Begin below the jawline (under the chin), massaging from the centre outwards.
2 - JAWLINE
Continue along the jawline, from the chin to the ears.
3 - CHEEKS
Continue from the jawline to the cheeks, working up towards the temples.
4 - FOREHEAD
End on the forehead, massaging from the centre of the face out towards the temples.
Repeat these movements three times.
Skin's density and suppleness are refreshed. It appears smooth and radiant.
CHANEL has created the perfect skincare ritual to optimise the revitalising power of SUBLIMAGE Le Sérum, pairing it with SUBLIMAGE La Crème.
