When it comes to skin care, there’s no shortage of new products to try. But Fleurissent — a French-founded, woman-owned brand — has set out to introduce a different approach to beauty by combining aromatherapy with a select few skin care products that cover the essentials only. Rather than overcomplicate things with dozens of toners, serums, and moisturizers, the brand keeps things simple with just two formulas: a facial cream and a two-in-one facial mask and exfoliator.

Developed with the intention of nourishing the mind right along with the skin, Fleurissent uses fragrances (in the form of flower extracts and flower water) to promote relaxation or uplift the overall mood, while also targeting skin concerns like dryness and dullness.

Fleurissent Facial Cream

Fleurissent, which means ‘bloom’ in French, uses a proprietary blend called Fusion Florale 6 to power their Facial Cream. Fusion Florale 6 comprises rose de mai, rose damascena, French rose gallica, white rose alba, lavender, and peony, each of which is hand-harvested from flower fields in Grasse, France. Each of the rose waters and extracts in the complex boast different benefits like brightening, soothing, and minimizing the look of pores. But overall, rose is coveted in skin care because it’s an antioxidant ingredient that helps to protect the skin from factors like exposure to UV rays and pollution, while also being hydrating and calming. Those benefits give Fleurissent’s Facial Cream a multi-tasking base with additional soothing properties, thanks to lavender flower water, and antioxidant protection thanks to peony root extract.

You can apply the face cream in the morning and at night, as you would any other moisturizer, but because each cream is infused with a different botanical scent, Fleurissent recommends placing your hands near your nose for a few deep breaths (after you’ve pressed the product onto your face, neck, and décolleté, of course).

Fleurissent 2-in-1 Facial Mask & Exfoliator

Like the face cream above, the 2-In-1 Facial Mask & Exfoliator starts with the brand’s Fusion Florale 6 complex. To add gentle exfoliating properties, rice powder is included in each formula, which helps to remove dead skin cells that can contribute to an uneven skin tone and texture. Depending on which scent you choose, you’ll find a mix of other botanical extracts, such as immortelle flower, cornflower floral water, and lady’s mantle.

The Scents

While you’ll find just two products in Fleurissent’s lineup, the fragrance is where you can really customize things. Infused with plant extracts to highlight four different floral scents, the products utilize aromatherapy to promote different mood-enhancing benefits.

Rejuvenating Peony

For those focused on plumping up their skin and improving elasticity, the Rejuvenating Peony Facial Cream and 2-In-1 Mask & Exfoliator work to moisturize, provide antioxidant protection, and promote generally smoother, firmer skin. The scent of peony is said to have mood-boosting benefits, while the flower’s extract is paired with immortelle flower extract and golden seaweed to keep skin protected from environmental stressors like pollution and sunlight. According to Fleurissent, immortelle also works similarly to retinol but without the risk of irritation, while argan oil and evening primrose oil keep skin hydrated.

Soothing Lavender

If it’s a calming effect that you’re after for both your skin and your mind, the Soothing Lavender combo is your best bet. As lavender floral water (sourced from lavender fields in Provence) works to calm the nervous system and support better sleep, cornflower floral water and linseed extract help to soothe sensitive skin and reduce signs of irritation.

Revitalizing Radiance Rose

The Revitalizing Radiance Rose Facial Cream and 2-In-1 Mask & Exfoliator formulas are meant to uplift your overall mood and help clear the mind with the help of fragrant rose. Additionally, both rose-scented formulas include another complex developed by the brand: Gigawhite. This blend of ingredients includes seven plant extracts like mallow, lady’s mantle, and cowslip, which are harvested from the Swiss Alps, and help to brighten unwanted hyperpigmentation and make skin more luminous.

Rebalancing Ylang-Ylang

For those whose skin leans toward the combination or oily side, the Rebalancing Ylang-Ylang formulas offer a more lightweight form of moisture. In here, ylang-ylang helps balance sebum production and boost your overall mood while alleviating stress with its rich floral scent.
