Why Clé de Peau Beauté Skincare Just Got Brighter
Partnership
Words by Shannan Sterne
Clé de Peau Beauté has been one to watch since its launch in 1982. And, 41 years later, it’s known worldwide for its results-driven beauties – it's one of Japan’s bestselling skincare and cosmetics ranges for good reason. You’ll have seen its skincare and make-up on the faces of your favourite A-listers and all over social media. Beauty boffins will have heard of the brand’s luminous The Foundation and its glow-giving The Serum, and now we’re presented with Clé de Peau Beauté’s best 'skinnovation' yet – the new and exclusive Concentrated Brightening Serum.
Over 40 years of research has led to this fast-absorbing serum, designed to retain skin’s moisture, perk up tired skin, boost luminosity and even skin tone – that’s an impressive list. It seems fitting that Clé de Peau Beauté translates to ‘the key to skin's beauty’, as this radiance-booster nails the brief. And thanks to a carefully curated concoction of expert ingredients (more on that later), it also works to improve the appearance of unwanted dark spotsand is super lightweight, so layers well with other products. This meticulous combination of high-end beauty tech and potent ingredients ishere to make your skin feel better than ever.
Spotlight On: Concentrated Brightening Serum
Multi-Level Brightening
This exciting, science-led innovation is thanks to Clé de Peau Beauté’s research into the health of your skin's microbiome (the collection of all microbes, including bacteria) and its impact on the skin’s radiance. Enter the brand’s new brightening approach, which works to illuminate dull skin and improve the appearance of unwanted dark spots.
Balance and Brightness
The skin’s microbiome is home to many types of indigenous bacteria, but scientists focussed on the staphylococcus epidermis, because of its proven involvement in skin’s hydration and protection. If the skin has a good ratio of staphylococcus epidermis, it appears more clear. Based on these findings, Clé de Peau Beauté founded the Crystatune Complex.
Crystatune Complex
This special formula is filled with a fusion of four brightening ingredients coined Crystallizing Power Technology. The power quad includes skin-tone-balancing 4MSK, hydrating TMG, anti-inflammatory rehmannia root extract and peony root extract, which is barrier-boosting, moisturising and soothing.
