Chanel has harnessed the red camellia’s intelligent capacity for resistance and resilience and applied it to a new skincare product: No.1 de Chanel Rich Revitalizing Cream.

Ceramides are lipids naturally found in the skin. They play a vital role in keeping it healthy and protecting it from external aggressors. Like a sort of natural cement, ceramides create a barrier for the epidermis that locks in moisture by preventing excessive water loss. Over time, they diminish in both quantity and quality, a phenomenon that is exacerbated when the skin is exposed to cold weather. It dries out and develops redness. When skin loses moisture, wrinkles appear accentuated.

The Rich Revitalizing Cream formulated with red camellia is the new ally for combating signs of aging and the harmful effects of cold weather with ease. Tested by women in Canada under real-use conditions, No.1 de Chanel Rich Revitalizing Cream. has proven to be effective at addressing major wintertime concerns as well as signs of aging: redness is reduced, skin appears less dry, and wrinkles are smoothed.

Visibly nourished, skin is protected from cold weather by camellia ceramides and a yeast extract—derived from the Pichia genus, found in the camellia microbiota—which work together to strengthen its barrier function, and camellia oil, which helps keep skin hydrated.
