THE ORIGIN OF THE GISÈLE DELORME PARIS BRAND
From the very start of the Gisèle Delorme Paris brand in 1977, Madame Delorme was driven by the responsibility for results imposed on a professional brand and on the beautician using her method of treatment.
The concept she created need to provide remarkable results for every client, for every skin condition and in every situation.
Drawing on her initial experience in developing hair and cosmetics products with her husband at the time, the founder of Chenot Wellness clinics, Madame Delorme offered her first made-to-measure treatments. She combined the therapeutic technique of the manual lymphatic drainage with the benefits of haute-couture skincare.
And right from the start, she incorporated the power of serums, a product category little known at the time of the brand’s creation. A visionary, Madame Delorme understood the benefits of these products for in-depth treatment. Her serums were all complex, and some incorporated phytotherapy.
Since then, the Gisèle Delorme brand has become worldwide synonymous for beauty through skin health for a community of discerning women and men.
Thanks to its complete range of serums, it embodies made-to-measure skin care.
A NEW IMPETUS TO REVIVE THE BRAND
After a period of strategic wandering between the call to switch to a full online service and its professional brick and mortar past, the brand was taken over in 2020 by a small family team who made the clear choice to revive the esthetician’s expertise. To give credence to this strategic choice, the team strengthened the foundations of the Gisèle Delorme made-to-measure skin care method. This method allows for the personalization of lymphatic drainage techniques and haute-cosmétique skincare.
The team’s focus is revamping esthetician training. Thanks to a high-level training program, they can now join the inner circle of derma-therapists. It’s a rewarding development for both beautician and customers.
Considering the multiple factors impacting skin beauty, the derma-therapist determines a treatment protocol for each client. This is the Gisèle Delorme global approach.
At the heart of the treatment, the manual lymphatic drainage technique is completely revised and enhanced to leverage and target its effectiveness.
Inspired by the teachings of Dr. and Mrs Vodder, Gisèle Delorme Facial Lymphatic Drainage uses precise manual movements on the upper body to restore radiance, toning and cellular regeneration of the skin.
GISÈLE DELORME'S VISION OF BEAUTY
Madame Delorme reminded us that “to be beautiful, a woman must feel good about herself”. This approach shapes our vision of beauty.
Our vision is based on realistic, achievable promises. The results of our lymphatic drainage technique and the effectiveness of our products are visible. The loyalty of Gisèle Delorme’s derma-therapists and customers is proof that her approach to beauty endures the passing of time.
Our vision is also to market haute-cosmétique skincare with requirements on performance, sensory quality and environmental impact.
However, we are not constrained by the tyranny of all-natural. Our choice of ingredients, particularly active ingredients, is motivated by performance. Yet, where performance is equivalent, we will choose the natural ingredient, even at a higher cost.
To ensure that our actions are in line with our vision, the performance of the products we develop is validated both in instrumental (objective) and panel trials (subjective).
