SKIN RENEWAL
If someone tells you that all you need to reset your skin is a month and four vials of the new Sisleÿa La Cure treatment, would you believe it? Lionnel Lim speaks with CHRISTINE D’ORNANO, Sisley’s Global VP and the late founder’s daughter, on the brand’s
Reset your skin in a month with Sisley’s new Sisleÿa La Cure treatment
For the first time, Sisley has derived inspiration from a groundbreaking scientific discovery for the formulation of its product. The Sisleÿa La Cure was designed based on the mechanisms of autophagy, which refers to the body’s way of cleaning out damaged cells. Cells have a biological ability to ensure their survival, where defective components destroy themselves in order for skin to regenerate.
Four weeks is the amount of time skin takes to renew and it is also the duration of this treatment. Each 10ml bottle contains a carefully measured amount of formula necessary for a week, to be generously applied on the face and neck. Eight pumpfuls every morning and evening for the whole week are recommended. While you can incorporate it into a routine with skincare from other brands, using the treatment on its own will reap the best results. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, the anti-ageing treatment is recommended for anyone whose skin shows signs of exhaustion and stress such as dullness and sagging.
If you have had aesthetic treatments and surgical interventions done, Sisley recommends seeking the advice of a dermatologist or surgeon.
What makes Sisleÿa La Cure stand out among other sciencebacked skincare and a worthy investment?
The value lies in its scientific innovation, formulation and results. La Cure benefited from a test protocol of unprecedented scale for Sisley. To demonstrate its effectiveness, our laboratories have conducted more than 17 evaluation tests. These ranged from instrumental to consumer ones; tests conducted at all levels of the skin from the surface to the dermis; as well as tests conducted week after week for four weeks to demonstrate the importance of using La Cure for the recommended duration. It has been tested on women with marked, tired skin, and dull complexions. We have also taken into account the main epigenetic factors linked to behavioural ageing, such as urban and stressful lifestyles, and smokers or ex-smokers.
What are the key ingredients and their benefits? The formula is created from a combination of 19 rich and complex extracts of active plants. Among the ingredients, we have the Gingko Biloba Leaf Extract combined with Vitamin E Acetate to protect the mitochondria, which refer to structures within cells that produce energy; the Mariposa Blanca Rhizome Extract, which reconnects the mitochondrial network; and the Peony Extract paired with Longevity Sugar Complex to encourage the elimination of damaged mitochondria.
The recommendation is to use it twice a year. Why and how does it complement the skin’s renewal process?
Personally, I use Sisleÿa La Cure twice a year when the seasons change. I live in Paris and at the end of winter, I feel that my skin really needs a boost. I also use it when my skin shows signs of fatigue or stress and needs special attention. Take a break from your regular routine and use this to revitalise and re-energise skin. Four weeks is the time necessary for the complete regeneration of skin.
La Cure follows natural biological rhythms to boost cells’ vital mechanisms week after week. The four bottles correspond to four key steps. The first week, the energy of the cells is reactivated. Signs of fatigue are reduced. Cell detoxification occurs during the second week and the quality of the skin improves. On the third week, the antioxidant defences of the skin are boosted. The signs of ageing fade. During the fourth week, the vital mechanisms of the cell are restored, with a marked acceleration of anti-ageing benefits. Skin regeneration is complete.
