The Radiance Essence-in-Lotion is the first step in Guerlain's Orchidée Impériale Age-Defying Radiance Ritual. It is composed of exclusive dual technology with brightening and age-defying powers, and enriched with ingredients that improve the texture of the skin.

The Radiance Essence-in-Lotion offers advanced efficacy in deeply hydrating the epidermis, improving the clarity of the complexion and skin texture.

The Radiance Essence-in-Lotion combines two technologies derived from the power of orchids, selected by Guerlain Research:

- Orchid Noble Light™ Technology combines an extract of the precious orchid Dendrobium nobile with a brightening peptide, acting holistically on the sources of skin dullness and helping to recreate exceptional light*.

- Cell Respiration™ Technology, based on a duo of orchids (Gastrodia elata and Phalaenopsis amabilis), helps combat hypoxia (oxygen deficiency) to increase cellular longevity*, improve the visible signs of ageing and transform the skin into a perfect light booster.

These technologies are combined with a triple progressive resurfacing, pore perfecting and hydrating action to improve skin texture:

- PHAs, exfoliants derived from fermentation, perform a resurfacing action while being kind to the skin. The skin texture is refined and the complexion more even.

- Rose hip extract refines the skin's texture; it makes the surface of pores less visible while minimising slackening and distortion deep inside the pores.*

- The Orchid Essential Water Complex, consisting of an aqueous extract of orchid combined with low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, helps boost the natural hydration process for skin that reflects light perfectly*.
