It’s not every day that a brand’s icon becomes a skincare breakthrough. But that’s exactly what has happened with Chanel’s N°1 de Chanel skincare collection. The holistic and science-led skincare line is centred on Gabrielle Chanel’s much-loved red camellia, a bloom that has long been emblematic of the brand.
It turns out that as well as being a hardy flower that brims with tangible beauty, the red camellia also has real skin benefits. After 10 years of research, in conjunction with the University of Vienna, Chanel has proven that the camellia is able to tackle the usual suspects when it comes to ageing. Enriched with protocatechuic acid (an extract high in antioxidants) the camellia has been shown to prevent and correct the appearance of skin issues such as visible pores, wrinkles, a lack of elasticity, unevenness and dullness.
N°1 launched earlier this year as a well-edited line of nine skincare, makeup and fragrance products. It was greeted with a collective high-five thanks to the range’s ability to strengthen the skin barrier and revitalise the complexion. A luxe fluid camellia-dosed foundation and much-loved lip and cheek balms added a hit of glow that is also good for the complexion.
