Chanel Introduces UV Essentiel And Hydramax + Active Moisture Gel Cream are the latest skincare innovations from Chanel just in time for summer.

UV ESSENTIEL Protective UV Care — Anti-Pollution SPF 30:

High-performing UV ESSENTIEL combines pure mineral and plant-based ingredients with CHANEL skincare innovation to shield skin safely, securely beyond the reach of risk-laden UVA/UVB rays. Pre-existing dark spots, the telltale signs of sun-harmed skin, fade away. Key ingredient Licorice Extract helps virtually erase damaging evidence of sun exposure. A plant-based, anti-pollution complex reinforces skin’s ability to help protect itself against atmospheric pollution. Vitamin E aids in guarding against free radicals, and a mineral-based complex helps shield against UVA and UVB rays. The added beauty: The enriched, lightweight moisturizing formula of UV ESSENTIEL features mattifying agents for a transparent, silky-smooth, shine-free finish, making it an ideal makeup-application partner. $48.00/1.0oz. Available on CHANEL.com, and at department and specialty stores: MARCH 2009.

HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE Active Moisture Gel Cream:

Proprietary research by CHANEL into skin’s natural hydration function effectively turned the tables on dry, lifeless skin with HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE, a landmark collection of ultra-moisturizers that acts at the source of skin’s thirst. Rounding out the range of these intensive moisture boosters, new HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE Active Moisture Gel Cream sates the hydration needs of normal-to-oily summer skin, with a supreme texture that’s deceptively light and silky. Hydrabarrier System^TM complex, a CHANEL innovation that aids the ‘waterproofing’ proteins and lipids that trap water, helps restore skin’s barrier function and stave off water evaporation so skin’s moisture reservoir stays optimally filled. $70.00/1.7oz . Available on CHANEL.com, and at department and specialty stores: MARCH 2009.
