Possessing one of nature’s richest concentrations of essential nutrients and associated with exceptional virtues, Royal Jelly now confers its nutritive powers onto dry hair.

Pure as the driven snow

In partnership with Asian Innovation Center researchers and dermatologists, who conducted skin studies on more than 400 Asian women, and after countless observations, clinical measurements and pinpoint adjustments, confirmed by women’s self-assessments, Dior succeeded, for the first time ever, in demonstrating the interplay of five key physiological factors of skin translucency. The translucency equation was disclosed. The individual measurement of 5 criteria — evenness, luminosity, moisture, fineness and plumpness — enabled the researchers to establish, via a mathematical combination of the five values obtained, a single, precise index which on its own reflects 88% of skin translucency. Diorsnow White Reveal Wipe-Off Gel is an innovative addition to the whitening regime, a mild, non-drying gel that gently rids skin of dead cells and impurities to revea new and natual rosy radiance.

Gloss behavior

Phyto-levres gloss by Sisley provides skincare benefits within a pencil for maximum softness and smoothing, volumizing effects. Ingredients like kokum butter, aloe vera and phytosqualene means lips are at their most comfortable. Botanical spheres, composed of wheat proteins, capture epidermal moisture: as they swell, they smooth out fine lines and provide the lips with added plumpness.
