REGENERATE SKIN FASTER THAN YOU AGE 

 

30 years after the original launch of Rénergie’s iconic Double Performance in 1992, and continuing on the launch of Rénergie H.C.F. Triple serum, Lancôme announces another major breakthrough born from regenerative sciences. 

After more than 2 years of development, more than 250 formulation trials, over 500 quality controls and tests on more than 770 women, we found a way to regenerate your skin faster than you age. 

Introducing Rénergie H.P.N. 300-Peptide Cream. This patent-pending innovation concentrates potent ingredients – previously considered unimaginable to combine – into a highly sensorial formula to reach a new level of efficacy. The innovative formula packs a new concentration of Hyaluronic Acid, the proven power of pure Niacinamide and for the first time at Lancôme, over 300 types of Peptides in a new rechargeable format. 

A BREAKTHROUGH DISCOVERY FROM GREEN SCIENCES 

Born out of 40 years of scientific expertise on regenerative science, Rénergie H.P.N. 300-Peptide cream captures the power of peptides obtained from Green Sciences. With green sciences, we are reinventing the way we design and develop our products, making sustainability a priority, without any compromise on safety and product performance. Green Sciences are now the engine driving our innovations because we firmly believe that Nature powered by science is the future of Beauty.  

For Lancôme, Green Sciences mean preserving nature and biodiversity, reducing our impact on the environment by using as many renewable materials as possible, but most of all, using nature as an inspiration when it comes to research and development. 

New Rénergie H.P.N. 300-Peptide cream reinvents the formulation of peptides. These active ingredients are well known for their key role in skin regeneration. While most peptides used in cosmetic products are synthetic and limited in numbers; none of them can possibly recreate the efficacy of peptides existing in nature or human skin. An exceptional never-reached-before number and variety of peptides is finally formulated within our Rénergie cream: more than 300 peptides, three hundred new ways to harness regeneration. 

THE REGENERATIVE POWERS OF PEPTIDES FROM SEEDS TO SKIN 

With the launch of Rénergie H.P.N. 300-Peptide Cream, Lancôme sheds new light on the regenerative powers of peptides. Peptides are the building blocks of life as they are made of a variety of amino acids and their association creates an endless amount of peptide combinations, all with different capacities. Well known to act on all the layers of the skin: the epidermis, the dermal epidermal junction, and the dermis1, peptides are your skin’s best allies against the visible signs of aging. 

Lancôme has identified three plants rich in proteins: Linseed, Lupine and Pea.  

To extract the peptides locked within the complex structure of these plants, we used a lean transformation process with 3 simple steps. First, the seeds are crushed into powder or paste. Then, the mixture is hydrolysed to generate peptides. The third and last step consists of purifying the peptides to keep the most interesting ones. 

From thousands of peptide fractions, we identified more than three hundred that harbor the powers of regenerative sciences. In order to decipher those specific peptides and understand what their impact on the skin could be, we partnered with international scientists from universities and start-ups who are experts in quantification, identification and analysis of molecular networks.  We were able to identify more than 300 peptides linked to the skin proteome.  

A few peptides are good, 300 is Revolutionary. 

Peptides have 3 types of functions: 

1.     Carrier peptides: can deliver minerals to the skin to boost collagen, elastin and other structural proteins that make the skin appear firmer and fuller. 

2.     Inhibitor peptides: work by decelerating the body’s natural process whereby collagen is lost. They may also help prevent pigmentation. 

3.     Signal peptides: send messages to different parts of the skin to promote regeneration. 

THE PROVEN EFFICACY OF THE 300-PEPTIDE COMBINATION 

In addition to the breakthrough characterization of peptides contained in different plant extracts, our Laboratories also conducted in-vitro testing on reconstructed skin models. Significant results were proven on epidermal thickness, re-epithelization and extracellular matrix proteins.  

1.     At the epidermis level: Rénergie peptides accelerate epidermal cell migration, which is an important component of skin regeneration. This action is typical of signaling peptides which are known to send messages to different parts of the skin to promote regeneration.

2.     At the dermal-epidermal junction: Carrier and inhibitor peptides increase Laminin 332 and Collagen IV, both known to preserve skin’s integrity while strengthening its structural cohesion, for a better resistance to external stresses. 

 

 

3.     At the dermal level: Peptides increase Collagen I and III and inhibit the degradation of elastic fibers. Laminin, Collagen and Elastin are known to make the skin appear firmer and fuller. These actions are typical of carrier and inhibitor peptides which are known to act on the structure of the skin.

NEW RÉNERGIE H.P.N. 300-PEPTIDE CREAM OVER 300 TYPES OF PEPTIDES COMBINED WITH HYALURONIC ACID AND NIACINAMIDE 

Dedicated to offering a new level of high-performance anti-aging, this innovation masterfully concentrates in one single formula the 300-peptide combination, along with 2 other renowned active ingredients: 

·       Hyaluronic acid: Ferment-based and obtained using bio-technology. Hyaluronic acid is known to absorb 1000x its own weight in water, helping to smooth and re-plump the skin. Lancôme Hyaluronic acid offers enhanced skin penetration and additional benefits on wrinkles and skin roughness.  

·       300 types of Peptides: Ultra-concentrated and potent, this combination of more than 300 types of natural peptides restructures the skin to target firmness, elasticity and wrinkles. 

·       Niacinamide (or vitamin B3): Soothes the skin and contributes to skin tone management and helps combat dark spots by inhibiting the transfer of melanosomes from melanocytes to keratinocytes. 

THE IMPOSSIBLE MADE POSSIBLE HIGH CONCENTRATION & SUPERIOR SENSORIALITY  

From 4 formulation pathways and more than 250 trials, one unique equation was found. A new formula rebalancing oils, butters and waxes to hold the high concentration of ingredients while ensuring high application quality, high-penetration and soft finish without oily film. High-performance now means a whole new skin experience.  

REGENERATE SKIN FASTER THAN YOU AGE CLINICALLY PROVEN RESULTS 

 

In an unparalleled test, Lancôme measured the regenerative properties of new Rénergie H.P.N. 300-Peptide Cream. Two groups of women of different age groups took part in the test; some were assigned the cream, and some were not. Using a fluorescent biological marker, Lancôme was able to track the speed of their skin renewal for 22 days. 

·       Among women 40-59, skin renews faster with Rénergie H.P.N. 300-Peptide Cream than without it, proving its regenerative properties. 

·       The regeneration speed of women 40-59 using the cream is similar to much younger women aged 20-39; proving that skin can regenerate faster than its actual age. 

In addition to these tests, Lancôme was also able to confirm the effects on visible age signs. 

Global results measured as early as week 1: 

·       Corrects wrinkles faster than before2 

·       Reduces dark spots faster than before2 

·       Lifts face & neck faster than before2 

Clinically demonstrated efficacy after 8 weeks: 

·       Correct wrinkles: -21%3 wrinkles and -26%3 fine lines 

·       Reduces dark spots: -22%3 dark spots and +22%3 tone evenness 

·       Lifts face and neck: +38%3 firmness, +35%3 elasticity and -27%3 sagginess 

Rénergie H.P.N 300-Peptide Cream can also be used on the neck:
