Overview
The makers of Orlane anti-aging products claim to be the source of “the most advanced research on the causes of aging” and therefore claim that their skin care products use an exclusive concept to reverse the signs of aging on the skin. Orlane was originally founded in Paris and aimed to create upscale beauty products for use and sale in salons and spas. As with many anti-aging product lines, Orlane’s products focus on hydrating the skin to keep it supple and young looking. Orlane offers cleansers, toners, serums & concentrates, moisturizers, masks, and many more anti-aging products.

The Good
- Orlane lists complete ingredients for every available product for consumers.
- The company has been in business for over sixty years and has a good reputation in the market for skin care products.
- Orlane products are available for purchase on a variety of skin care websites.
The Bad
- Orlane does not offer a free trial or a money back guarantee on its anti-aging products.
- Orlane products are expensive in comparison to other proven anti-aging products on the market.
- Orlane products do not contain the most advanced and proven anti-aging ingredients on the market.
The Bottom Line
We were unable to find clinical trial data to support Orlane’s claims about how well the products work to combat the signs of aging. There are both good and bad reviews on various websites about Orlane products, and we also could not find any before and after photos to demonstrate effectiveness. It would be better if Orlane would offer a free trial or sample and/or a money back guarantee for consumers because the products are expensive and do not contain the most proven, powerful ingredients available in anti-aging today. Orlane products contain ingredients such as soy proteins, which have been shown in similar products to make improvements to the appearance of skin but not necessarily to treat wrinkles. It would also be helpful to consumers if Orlane would provide customer testimonials on its official website.
