Darphin has added two stunning new products to their Lumiere Essentielle skincare line, perfect for the summer. The new items include a micellar cleanser packed with essential oils and a set of two masks that cleanse and brighten skin in just ten minutes.
I’m a big admirer of the Lumiere Essentielle collection. It cleverly uses Darphin’s famous oil blends but offers them in lighter, fresher formulations. This range is perfect for those who worry about oils and balms feeling too heavy or clogging the skin.
For example, the Serum contains essential oils known for enhancing radiance and is based in water, making it feel weightless yet still packed with aromatherapy benefits. Its energizing, citrusy scent is balanced with calming woody notes and is consistent throughout the entire range.
There’s also an Oil Gel-Cream that follows the same pattern—light in texture but rich with Darphin’s signature oil blend. The new products continue this focus on lightness; the Illuminating Micellar Cleanser feels silky, massages easily, and rinses off effortlessly. The mask duo, although visually like traditional clay and gel masks, features a clay texture that remains soft and doesn’t harden on the skin.
These products bring an invigorating touch to your beauty routine, leaving your skin feeling brighter and deeply hydrated. With a Tangerine Essential Oil Elixir complementing the Lumiere Essentielle line, the result is a refreshing, summery skincare experience.
Starting with the Micellar Cleanser, it’s a refreshing gel that turns into a silky oil as you massage it onto dry skin. This transformation helps dissolve makeup and impurities effectively. If you appreciate the Aromatic Cleansing Balm but need something more suited for daily use, the Illuminating Micellar Cleanser is ideal. It smells wonderful and is quick to use, sparing you the effort of more intensive cleansing.
Next are the Instant Purifying and Illuminating Masks. These are two separate masks that work together as a dynamic duo. The first mask refines the skin’s texture, and the second one boosts moisture and radiance. Many facials follow this approach, and it’s great to have both masks in one set. The kaolin-based Instant Purifying Mask is easy to rinse off and doesn’t strip the skin. It also features algae extract for radiance and botanical root extract to nourish the skin.
Following this is a refreshing gel mask, the Instant Illuminating Mask. It feels like a bubbly treat for the skin and includes hyaluronic acid for moisture retention and Vitamin E for protection against environmental damage.
After using the masks, I’ve been layering the serum, elixir, and oil gel-cream, which adds intense moisture to the skin. This routine is better suited for nighttime, but it also leaves the skin looking dewy and fresh for daytime under makeup.
