why add imperial peony into your skincare routine

Also known as the flower of youth, the imperial peony has had a very good reputation for centuries for its medicinal and cosmetic properties, especially among mature skin. Here's why peony has such a good reputation:

This flower, scientifically known as Paeonia lactiflora, is native to Asia, and in China it symbolises elegance and health, being used since the eleventh century in traditional Chinese medicine, where this flower was better known as "pinyin". The properties of its seeds and roots are multiple and were used to reduce fever, as an analgesic and a preventive of infections.

Benefits of the Sublime Peony & White Caviar Illuminating Pearls Serum 

Peony, as an active ingredient, is fortified in soothing, revitalising, anti-inflammatory, emollient and moisturising properties, which make it a fantastic ingredient for many products in our skincare routine. Rich in vegetable sugars, it acts on the skin cells to help visibly correct its texture and tone irregularities. The skin breathes, is juicy and shows a velvety appearance from the first applications, transforming it and better reflecting the light, the skin appears more unified, fresh and smooth.

Peony extract also helps visibly reduce the signs of ageing such as wrinkles and expression lines. This is why we recommend that you start considering peony in your beauty routine.
