L’Occitane is a European skin care brand that was founded by one Olivier Baussan. This cosmetic/self care line offers an array of skin care treatments and fragrances for women and men. The official website explains how this brand of treatments is inspired by the Mediterranean. Along the lines of many other skin care companies these days, L’Occitane aims to offer “natural beauty products” that incorporate essential oils, Shea butter and lavender. Currently there are L’Occitane products that fall into six different skin type categories, which are normal to sensitive, normal to dull, first signs of aging skin, dry or dehydrated, combination and oily, and mature.

The key active ingredients found in L’Occitane skin care treatments are Shea Butter (hydrates, treats and heals dry skin), Lavender (purifies and calms skin), Almond (helps firm the complexion), Honey (softens, moisturizes and heals) and Lemon. The goal of this company is to provide all-natural and organic skin care. The anti-aging line offered by L’Occitane is called Immortelle. These products range from the Very Precious Fluid, to the Very Precious Cream, to the Very Precious Brightening Concentrate, to the Brightening Toner, to the Very Precious Eye Serum, to the Brightening Cleansing Foam, to the Lift Lip. Basically these topical treatments aim to “restore the skin’s youth and radiance.” At this point all L’Occitane products can be acquired directly through the official website, as well as in L’Occitane stores.

Product Details

L’Occitane is a Mediterranean-based skin care brand that endeavors to assist men and women with all sorts of skin care concerns, from oily complexions, to dry skin, to hyper pigmentation, to wrinkles, to sun damage, to sensitive skin and more. Face and body care products are offered, as well as several fragrances and gifts. While there doesn’t appear to be a 100% money-back guarantee posted on the official website, the main ingredients for L’Occitane treatments are revealed as Lavender, Honey, Almond, Lemon and Shea Butter. Unfortunately clinical support for L’Occitane products is not presented on the website. Free trial samples may be offered in retail locations.

The Good

  • Any L’Occitane skin care products can be acquired with ease through the official website.
  • The key active ingredients for L’Occitane treatments are provided and discussed on the website.

The Bad

  • A 100% money-back guarantee is not posted on the official website.
  • There do not appear to be any success stories concerning L’Occitane treatments on the website.
  • L’Occitane products are more expensive than many other skin care brands out there.

The Bottom Line

Like so many other skin care brands these days, L’Occitane focuses on all-natural ingredients and “organic skin care.” While this naturally sounds good to many individuals, it doesn’t mean that L’Occitane skin care products are superior to other brands that cost less. It is nice to see that this company does utilize natural components like Shea Butter and Lavender, however, there is no clinical testing presented on the official website to support the claims made about L’Occitane treatments. It may be wise to visit a retail outpost of L’Occitane in order to ask for some free trial samples before actually buying the skin treatments.

** Our Top Skin Care Choice **

Nue Science Bottle

Top Wrinkle Cream for 2012: Nue Science

Editor's Review: 4.8 / 5.0

After looking at literally hundreds of wrinkle reduction and prevention treatments, Nue Science Cell Revival is our top choice. This product offers customers a Risk-Free Trial, and makes sure to both repair and protect the skin with Matrixyl 3000 for collagen and Uniprotect-PT-3 for UV protection. No other formula that we've seen takes such a holistic approach to skin care. Matrixyl 3000 is a clinically proven and patented wrinkle-fighting peptide, while Uniprotect-PT-3 is one of the most advanced sun protectors currently on the market. User testimonials on how a formula works says it all, and the Nue Science website provides ample proof. When you factor in the trial offer, the potent formula, and the testimonials and the clinical studies posted on the official site, it's easy to see why Nue Science is our top anti-aging pick. >> Read more about Nue Science Go



Hydrolyze Bottle

(Optional- For Enhanced Results): Hydrolyze

Editor's Review: 4.6 / 5.0

After looking at so many anti-aging treatments, we've seen that the delicate skin around the eyes can be a real problem area for many people. Dark circles can make you look years older, and for some people even a good night's sleep won't make them go away. That's why we were so excited to find Hydrolyze, which has been formulated by industry experts specifically as an under-eye treatment. The makers of Hydrolyze are so confident in their product that they offer potential users a Risk Free Trial so they can see the results for themselves. Hydrolyze contains the break-through ingredient Haloxyl, which has been shown to reduce under-eye discoloration between 40%-60% in a clinical case study. By offering consumers a way to erase the dark circles and wrinkles that often occur under the eyes, Hydrolyze is revolutionizing the skincare industry. >> Read more about Hydrolyze Go
