To kick things off, we’re diving into the L’Occitane Immortelle Overnight Reset Serum.
L’Occitane en Provence, or L’Occitane, is a beauty brand founded in the South of France in 1976 by Olivier Baussan. L’Occitane focuses on utilised plant-based ingredients from the heart of Provence to create effective, high-quality skincare products.
A relatively new product from the heritage French beauty brand, the L’Occitane Immortelle Overnight Reset Serum harnesses the benefits of L’Occitane’s much-beloved Immortelle extract to renew and ‘reset’ skin while you sleep. Let’s dive into it.
Product profile
Name
L’Occitane Immortelle Overnight Reset Serum
Price
$95AUD / 30ml
Key ingredients
Immortelle oil extract, Marjoram extract, Acmella oleacera extract.
A lightweight oil-in-serum formula, L’Occitane Immortelle Overnight Reset Serum centres on L’Occitane’s signature Immortelle extract which comes in encapsulated form; each bottle contains thousands of tiny golden Immortelle essential oil bubbles. With twice the antioxidant content of vitamin E, Immortelle essential oil works to correct signs of ageing, protect against pollution, and promote a youthful glow.
L’Occitane Immortelle Overnight Reset Serum also contains marjoram which works by tapping into the skin’s own cellular function to counteract the effects of environmental aggressors like UV damage and pollution. Meanwhile, potent Acmella oleacera extract provides a natural alternative to botox, working to soften and smoothen fine lines and wrinkles.
How to use it
Designed as a nighttime serum, L’Occitane Immortelle Overnight Reset Serum should be applied after cleansing and toning, and before your moisturiser or night cream.
While it’s intended as an overnight serum, it also sits beautifully under makeup during the day for a dewy glow.
The feel
One of the best serums in terms of texture, the L’Occitane Immortelle Overnight Reset Serum combines the best of both worlds in its oil-in-serum formula. Its smooth, silky texture allows it to glide onto the skin without leaving your face feeling sticky.
The benefits
Visibly more hydrated, well-rested skin the day after using and smoother, softer skin with continued use! The French beauty brand’s Immortelle Overnight Reset Serum aids your skin’s natural repair functions overnight, while its antioxidant-rich formula helps protect against the effects of pollution and stress.
AR verdict
Beauty sleep in a bottle. One of our go-to protocols for dull, dry skin, this serum is a must-have when your skin needs a little extra help achieving that enviable glow.
The serum is available on the L’Occitane webstore.
