product information

PRODUCT

A refill designed to replenish N°1 DE CHANEL CREAM. This moisturizer provides a comprehensive effect on the signs of youth, addressing the look of wrinkles, pores, elasticity and radiance. The gel-cream texture is easy to apply and offers a light, silky sensoriality.

Day after day, the results increase: Skin is strengthened for up to 12 hours* and protected from external aggressors. After 1 week, the complexion looks more plump, and after 4 weeks, efficacy is tripled**. After 8 weeks, wrinkles and pores appear reduced by 30%**, elasticity is improved by 51%**, and skin looks 46%** more radiant and 60%** smoother.

Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive.

The N°1 DE CHANEL line seeks to minimize its environmental impact with sustainably developed formulas that contain up to 97%*** naturally derived ingredients. Each product is housed in environmentally sound packaging, without cellophane or paper leaflets, for a reduced carbon footprint. Containers are crafted with lighter-weight glass**** and printed with organic ink*****.

KEY INGREDIENTS

The N°1 DE CHANEL line preserves a youthful appearance by drawing on the extraordinary longevity of a single flower: the Red Camellia. A plant that can live for up to an incredible 200 years*******, defying time. After studying the camellia for 19 years, CHANEL Research has harnessed its energy to create Red Camellia Extract, which is obtained through a 3-step extraction process: The petals first undergo cold fragmentation, then their antioxidant properties are released through hydrofusion. Finally, the solution is purified, resulting in an extract highly concentrated in protocatechuic acid.

Composed of up to 67% camellia-derived ingredients, N°1 DE CHANEL CREAM is infused with all forms of the flower, including camellia oil, yeast extract and water. Red Camellia Extract boosts skin’s vitality and defends against oxidative stress, while camellia ceramides help fortify the moisture barrier. An oligopeptide supports the look of youthfulness.

HOW TO APPLY

As part of the N°1 DE CHANEL line’s eco-responsible approach, N°1 DE CHANEL CREAM can be refilled as many times as desired. Simply place the refill inside your empty jar. Refilling just twice reduces the cream’s greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated half.

Smooth N°1 DE CHANEL CREAM onto the face and neck every morning and evening after applying N°1 DE CHANEL REVITALIZING SERUM. Lightly tap skin with your fingertips to encourage absorption and leave a glowing appearance. Using the palms of your hands, gently smooth from the jawline up to the ears, from the sides of the nose to the ears, from the center of the forehead to the temples and from the ears down to the neck.

*Instrumental evaluation of 20 women
**Clinical evaluation of 32 women
***According to the ISO 16128 standard
****Compared to the average weight of CHANEL bottles and jars of similar capacity. Applies to N°1 DE CHANEL eye serum, eye cream, serum, cream, rich cream, mask, serum-in-mist, foundation, lip and cheek balm and L’EAU ROUGE.

Why is the collection named N°1 DE CHANEL?

True to Gabrielle Chanel’s spirit and aligned with her avant-garde vision, the name of this line is a number. N°1 DE CHANEL is also the first collection from the House to unite skincare, makeup and a fragrance mist, embodying a new generation of beauty that returns to the essentials. The House’s iconic flower, the camellia, is the N°1 ingredient and has been proven to be exceptionally effective at targeting the first signs of aging.

Why is the Red Camellia significant?

The Camellia japonica plant, which blooms in winter and features evergreen leaves, is a remarkable botanical treasure. Also known as the Red Czar Camellia, it is extraordinarily rich in protocatechuic acid, a powerful molecule CHANEL Research discovered to be unique to this particular camellia flower. The ingredient possesses exceptional revitalizing properties and helps support skin’s vitality.

In which order should N°1 DE CHANEL products be used?

First, purify and refresh skin with the powder-to-foam cleanser and prep for the rest of your routine with the lotion. Target signs of aging with the eye cream, serum and serum-in-mist, and lock in hydration with the refillable face cream. Next, create a clean canvas with the buildable foundation before adding a touch of colour with the lip and cheek balm. Complete your ritual with a spritz of L’EAU ROUGE fragrance mist.

The cream is the only one I've found to moisturize my skin in the fall and winter months when my skin is extra dry, if not a bit flaky. Importantly, I get easily nauseated by scents and this one is soft and pleasing.
