N°1 de Chanel

The red camellia extract, the star ingredient of the N°1 de Chanel line, is the result of 12 years of research into cellular senescence. Highly concentrated in polyphenols, it increases skin vitality and boosts vital mechanisms, while oligopeptide complements these benefits by stimulating markers of skin youth.

Clinical tests have revealed that over time the Face and Eye Serums reduce wrinkles, improve elasticity and enhance radiance.

The red camellia is sustainably sourced and the formulas are developed using responsible practices, the brand said.

Chanel International Scientific Communications Director Armelle Souraud commented: “Youthful skin starts at the cellular level. The combined effects of skin ageing and external stress factors cause the vitality of skin cells to decrease with time. This phenomenon, called senescence, translates to less radiant skin, a lack of elasticity, and the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

“A 12-year partnership with the University of Vienna focused on skin cell senescence has allowed Chanel research to develop an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms responsible for skin’s youth. That is how we were able to identify a unique active ingredient that is highly concentrated in polyphenols: red camellia extract.

“This ingredient targets the first stage of senescence to preserve cell vitality. Red camellia extract increases skin vitality by +67% and boosts vitality mechanisms by +63%.” ✈
