With 30 posing as the new 25, fighting the ravaging effects of time has become a priority that almost equals the perpetual battle against the bulge for women across the globe. Lancôme’s latest offering, The Absolue Precious Essence Sublime Regenerating Oleo-Serum, poses as a new-age Trojan Horse, elegantly disguised in a jewel-box with a transparent lid set in gold and rose, but housing potent contents.
Priced at Rs 10,000 per 30ml, the new anti-ageing serum is packed with a plethora of substances, and powered with the combination of Oleo technology and a regenerative science, that the brand is reputed for. It also contains essential fatty acids that not only improve skin structure, but also hydrate your visage to give it a subtle glow. Extracts of Lemon essential oils, babassu oils and camellia complete the rejuvenating potion that promises to tone and repair from the very first application. Even if the science is too puzzling, the beautiful fragrance will certainly win you over: Soothing top notes of bergamot, cardamom and mandarin merge with cedar, musk and iris (as base notes) titillate your olfactory senses, that not only enhance the product’s overall aura, but also make winning against the clock a sheer pleasure.
