The days might be getting shorter, and we’re losing a little more light every week – but we’re determined to retain radiance in our skin. So we’re facing up to post-summer skin change and damage with the newest addition to Sisley’s most prestigious skincare line, Sisleÿa L’Intégral Anti-Âge Radiance Anti Dark Spot Serum. This innovative serum from the trusted family-owned luxury skincare experts is all about radiance. It offers complete action to restore skin radiance and evenness by targeting the mechanisms behind the appearance of dark spots, shadows and skin quality. In other words – let there be light.

Whether you travelled abroad or stayed in Ireland, the summer has inevitably had an impact on your skin; UV rays cause the over-production of melanin, and thus dark spots. As we get older, our skin becomes less smooth and less dense, reducing its ability to reflect light, while the complexion can start to look dull or grey due to reduced microcirculation and colour irregularities.

LET THERE BE LIGHT

The skin’s surface only reflects ten per cent of the light that hits it. Molecules play a crucial role in absorbing and reflecting light to ensure skin’s colour harmony. This serum acts simultaneously on three key aspects of this process in order to revive radiance.

That’s not all. Sisley Research have unearthed a major new active ingredient, Lansium extract. Harnessing the latest discoveries in epigenetics, this extract can act at the beginning of the melanin production chain, helping to reduce the synthesis of melanin, which causes dark spots – right from the start.

EXPERIENCE THE LUXURY

The Sisleÿa L’Intégral Anti-Âge Radiance Anti Dark Spot Serum glides onto the skin and melts in. So you’ll see a burst of immediate and lasting radiance that illuminates the face as soon as it’s applied.

Post-summer and heading into winter, we’re pairing Sisleÿa L’Intégral Anti-Âge Radiance Anti Dark Spot Serum with Sisley’s cult Sisleÿa L’Intégral Anti-Âge, the complete moisturising day cream designed to boost and plump skin, with natural extracts and minerals to promote cell regeneration and renewal.

VISIBLE RESULTS

Quite simply, this lightweight serum illuminates the skin. As well as combatting the formation of dark spots by regulating melanin production, the formula – rich in minerals such as zinc, copper and magnesium– helps to improve cell respiration and encourage enhanced oxygenation. It boosts the amount of light reflected, thus restoring skin’s glow.

We’re looking forward to bright days ahead, with boosted radiance and an even complexion.
