1. What makes Clé de Peau Beauté skincare so remarkable?

As a fusion of the most sophisticated technology and exquisitely refined aesthetics, Clé de Peau Beauté is not just the key to flawless skin -- it is a transforming experience.

First introduced by Shiseido in 1982 and considered the world's first haute couture cosmetics collection, Clé de Peau Beauté is unique in its ability to translate scientific research on skin functionality into products of such pure perfection that they are the very essence of luxury and French refinement.

Clé de Peau Beauté's long commitment to cutting edge science led to the recent development of Signal Management Theory and exclusive ingredients that maintain the ideal condition of skin. The premiere ingredient, Cellular IC Normalizer acts to enhance conditions for optimal functioning of the cellular ion channel system* while CE Generating Complex has been shown to create ideal conditions in surface cells allowing skin to become more resistant to external environmental aggressors. Optimizing cell turnover, W-TC Complex imparts a smooth youthful complexion*.

Even more enduring, however, is our timeless commitment to you. By developing an intimate relationship with an expert Product Specialist, you will uncover the fullest rewards and deepest pleasures of Clé de Peau Beauté.

Ongoing research and development, as provided by Shiseido's R&D Center in Tokyo, will continue to advance basic skincare science, anti-aging technology and the products of Clé de Peau Beauté.

6. What is the difference between Gentle, Refreshing and Enriched formulas?

• Refreshing formula has the lightest texture, and is usually preferred by those with normal to oily skin or those in warm, humid climates.
  
• Gentle formula has a richer texture, and is usually preferred by those with normal to dry skin.
  
• Enriched formula has the richest texture, and is usually preferred by those with dry to very dry skin.

7. What is the importance of the Balancing Lotion?

• Applying Balancing Lotion prior to other skincare products results in quicker, deeper penetration, and longer-lasting treatment benefits of those products.
  Balancing Lotion also provides gentle exfoliation, hydration, energizing, and helps to even out the skin tone with exceptional moisture and smoothness.

8. I have a complimentary Signature Facial Service Gift Card. What does this entail?

A magnificent expression of the Clé de Peau Beauté experience, our Signature Facial Service begins with a one-on-one consultation with a Product Specialist. Together, you'll discuss specific concerns and select from our menu of customized facial services which includes Brightening, Firming, Hydrating, Energizing or Intensive Facial Services.

Each is designed to help skin realize its truest beauty potential. We encourage you to make an appointment to take full advantage of this complimentary service. It's well worth it.

9. Why do I need a different moisturizer for day and another for night?

The day moisturizer protects and increases resistance to daily environmental aggressors through hydration, providing SPF 15 protection and anti-oxidant properties that prevent damage caused by free radicals. The day moisturizer is also recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation as an effective UV sunscreen.
The night moisturizer optimizes the skin's natural nightly functions: re-hydrate, repair, restore, re-energize, regenerate and properly prepare it to resist environmental aggressors.

10. Why is La Crème unique and how do I get the maximum benefits?

La Crème is an exceptionally luxurious revitalizing cream that brings unparalleled age-defying benefits to your complexion overnight. It improves the appearance of wrinkles, dullness, uneven texture, loss of firmness, dryness and other signs of environmental stress to leave skin looking youthful, supple and brighter. It helps prevent the formation of sun spots and freckles. It is applied nightly following the cleansing and balancing step as a simplified beauty routine. It can also be used with other Clé de Peau Beauté specialized treatments as determined by your Product Specialist during your personalized skin consultation.

11. What is the difference between Eye Contour Balm Anti-Wrinkle & Eye Contour Essence Anti-Dark Circles? Can I use just one?

Yes, you can use only one and both are designed to be the last step of your skincare regimen. The Balm improves and smoothes delicate skin texture around the eyes, minimizing wrinkles and other signs of aging while properly hydrating; the Essence improves brightness in the eye area by reducing visible signs of fatigue such as dark circles and shadows as well as minimizes fine lines due to dehydration.

12. How can I find the right foundation for me?

Clé de Peau Beauté foundation offers the most luxurious formulas which incorporate superior skincare ingredients for a flawless complexion. The choice in foundation can be made depending on the desired level of coverage and finish.

• Medium Coverage with Radiant and Dewy Finish: Refining Fluid Foundation SPF 24
• Medium to Full Coverage with Matte Finish: Cream Foundation SPF 18
• Medium to Full Coverage with a Lustrous Finish: Silky Cream Foundation
• Sheer to Medium Coverage with a Matte Finish: Creamy Powder Foundation
