SHEER PERFECTION
Get in line as Tom Ford launches its skincare line
Tom Ford is a perfectionist. The celebrated designer, makeup innovator, and film maker is a visionary extraordinaire, and his exacting demands, from himself and his team, always result in a sublime creation, a unique and thoroughly luxurious experience. As such the prospect of a skincare collection has the beauty industry—despite being inundated with so many new brands and launches—absolutely thrilled.
Tom Ford Research is a luxury skincare line engineered to transform. Two products, TOM FORD RESEARCH
Serum Concentrate and CRÈME CONCENTRATE use White Porcelain Cacao, a rare cacao steeped with free radical-fighting polyphenols, caffeine, which the Tom Ford Research team found to increase skin’s natural energy and support hydration, and Gyokuro, a highly-prized variety of Japanese green tea grown in the shade. Rounding out this powerhouse trio are skinsoothing algae, hydrating hyaluronic acid, and smoothing peptides. Used regularly, the products were shown to have increase skin’s radiance, infuse it with 24-hour hydration, and visibly diminish the look of lines, wrinkles, pores and redness. Supple, youthful, energized skin emerges.
And because Tom Ford is Tom Ford, the formula, the bottles, and the accompanying visuals have an overlay of unhurried luxury and sensuality, an undulating softness. Think of the pent-up sexuality of his clothes, the amorous feel of his lipsticks as they caress the lips—it’s easy to forget the laser-like precision of his approach and execution and the unsexy amount of hours spent developing and perfecting every single detail. He lets the two meet, the hard edge of science with the pliant quality of desire, and lets them mingle, share a drink and discuss art and philosophy, and the result is unique, exquisite—and dare we say it—sublime perfection.
