Orchidée Impériale Gold Nobile The Goldessence

What it is: The first step in the Orchidée Impériale Gold Nobile ritual, the Goldessence Lotion instantly fuses with the skin to leave it smooth, even and hydrated.

What it does: The Goldessence Lotion delicately envelops the skin in a radiance-revealing silky veil and fuses with the epidermis to improve its youthful appearance. This patented¹ formula, that required three years of research and development, reveals thousands of nourishing microspheres infused with the orchid oleo-concentrate suspended in a light-activating solution with resurfacing properties. At the heart of this alchemy, the Gold Nobile orchid extract with rejuvenating powers helps to restore the functions of youth. This activating step helps refine skin texture, smooth the look of skin irregularities and reduce light traps that slow down its diffusion. From the first application, radiance is revived, skin texture refined and luminosity amplified.
