In our new weekly feature we’re picking a highlight that’s landed on the Her.ie beauty desk and giving you the lowdown on the beauty break-through, the budget and the reasons you should buy…
The Beauty Buzz
With A-list actresses Kate Winslet and Lupita Nyong’o fronting the Visionnaire Nuit campaign, it’s no surprise that this launch is one of the most-talked about in the industry.
Research has shown that after only ONE use, skin is suppler for 76% of women, softer for 84%, radiance is revived for a whopping 86% and elasticity improved for 78%.
With results like that, we simply had to put it to the test.
The Beauty Brand
Lancôme is a heavyweight in the beauty industry with the French cosmetics house setting the standard for all things skincare.
The Visionnaire range first came about in 2011 and it received rave reviews with several clinical studies showing proven results for glowing radiant skin.
The Beauty Breakthrough
Visionnaire Nuit Beauty Sleep Perfector aims to “transform the look and feel of the skin as soon as you wake”.
Back in 2011, with the launch of Visionnaire, Lancôme introduced something completely new in the cosmetics industry: the use of Jasmonates.
This has been reproduced with Visionnaire Nuit, as jasmonates, an active ingredient, combines with hyaluronic acid to give the skin a glow together with a plump texture.
The French beauty house says they are “capitalising on Jasmonates with the launch of Visionnaire Nuit Beauty Sleep Perfector” and the result is smooth radiant skin as soon as you wake in the morning.
The Beauty Budget
Visionnaire Nuit is priced at €74, Visionnaire Day Cream is priced at €49 for 30ml and €73 for 50ml, and you can pick up Visionnaire Yeux for €47.
We Say:
If you’re an insomniac or you’ve had a few busy week thanks to exams or work deadlines, you’ll know that stress can play havoc with your skin.
The thought of being able to apply one single product at night and wake up with glowing skin, similar to how we imagine Sleeping Beauty would arise, is the dream.
Thankfully, Lancôme has developed a lightweight cream (the gel-in-oil consistency is SO lovely) and it is designed to help your skin recover while you sleep.
After one week’s use, this Her writer has noticed a definite difference when it comes to her skin’s texture and appearance (even after a few late nights and a LOT of coffee).
They Say:
“Visionnaire Nuit Beauty Sleep Perfector, Lancôme’s new beauty product, acts while you sleep to transform the look and feel of skin on waking”.
“Inspired by sleeping packs, the latest cosmetics trend from Asia, its unique and surprising gel-in-oil formula reduces the signs of tiredness in real time”.
“Enveloping yet lightweight, nourishing yet extremely fresh, it capitalises on the skin’s capacity for recovery and repair during the night to offer rested features and smoother, more elastic and radiant skin from the moment you wake”.
