Sisley is a French beauty product manufacturer that claim to focus on natural oils and plant extracts as key active ingredients in all of their products. Sisley has operated a boutique store in Paris since 1976, and the business has always been family run. Not only family run, but the founder of Sisley is actually the Count Hubert D’Ornano. But does this attachment to the French gentry translate into noticeable benefits for the product’s users? Interestingly, not only is Sisley committed to all natural ingredients, but the manufacturer also claims to track down and import these plant-based ingredients from their natural environments where, presumably, they grow best.
Sisley has dubbed their approach to cosmetic skin care “Phytocosmetology”, referring to the use of fresh plant ingredients in beauty products. The theory behind going all the way to the source to obtain these ingredients is that they will be more potent, all around healthier plants, yielding superior results when compared to farmed or non-native plant ingredients. Sisley’s commitment to this philosophy extends to the use of all-natural preservatives as well as aromatherapy elements.
Product Details
Sisley’s major product claim is to help rejuvenate the skin. Sisley offers a wide range of products, and potential users are left to select the one(s) they think might work best with their skin types and conditions. For example, the Sisley line includes products dedicated to dryness, wrinkles, collagen-loss, irritation/inflammation and gradual discoloration. Sisley aims to treat all of these conditions through Phytocosmetology, which involves the topical application of natural plant extracts. Although we could find no full product ingredient lists, much-discussed active botanical ingredients found in Sisley products include: soluble collagen, ursolic acid and phytostimulines.
The Good
- Sisley products appear to be available form numerous independent online retailers.
- The entire Sisley line is hypoallergenic.
- All Sisley products are presumably all-natural.
- These products contain both moisturizing and antioxidant ingredients.
The Bad
- We could find no official website for the Sisley brand.
- You receive no free gift when ordering Sisley from independent retailers
- The average product from the Sisley line seems to retail for $100+, making it potentially expensive for some users.
- Sisley products do not come with a money-back guarantee.
- Given the lack of an official manufacturer’s website, we were unable to come up with any trial results or research and development info for Sisley’s products.
- No full product ingredient lists were available.
The Bottom Line
We really wanted to fall in love with Sisley. Their commitment to Phytocosmetology strikes us as intriguing and fun. Also, you know that you’re not going to get a product that’s packed full of parabens or other synthetic, potentially irritating preservatives. However, the lack of info available on Sisley in the US made us think twice. Maybe if you’re in Paris and have time to drop by their salon, you can let us know the answers to some of the many questions we still have about this line. How can a user tell if they’ll be allergic to any of the botanical ingredients found in Sisley’s creams? Can we get a full list of all products available? And what are these various botanical ingredients, anyway? We do believe that there are some natural products out there that provide answers to all of these questions, and at a fraction of the cost too.
I have a drawer full of free samples of Sisley from buying beauty products at NM, also can return product if wanted. Who would want to? After spending a fortune on other products, at 56, I have now found the best…using her foundation, lipstick, eye cream, milk cleanser, and especially her Botanical SHAMPOO!

Sisely is a fantastic brand and does what is says. But the price point is extreme. I now use Votre Vu from Paris France. And LOVE it! I was so impressed that I became a Brand Ambassador with Votre Vu. The price point just cant be beat & they have the best return policy ever. If anyone is interested in trying the products feel free to go to votrevu.com/mblockey

I have very sensitive skin, and I have found that the Sisley milk cleanser, exfoliants, and moisturizers keep me face and body feeling and looking very healthy without ever irritating my skin. I love my Sisley products.

I’m 29 and just recently discovered Sisley and I’m in love! A skin care fanatic since 16,I have used many different products. Just last night saw a friend of mine and she was stunned at how amazing my skin looked. I stumbled upon Sisley at Saks to purchase concealer and expanded the collection. I used Clarins before, but will never switch. Price wise is high, BUT WORTH IT. I’m beyond impressed.

Yes. Sisley prices are off the wall, but it works. I’m 44, and look 22. I, however, do something to enhance it. I have pure hyaluronic acid and vit c cream which I add to it. Before applying, I use either bliss oxygen facial wash or la prairie. I add “plus white” tooth whitener as it actually increases oxygen to ur skin. I’m gonna try the hydroxytone though.

can you be more specific on the brand of the HA and vit c you use and how and when so you use it , how do you combine it with the Sisley moisturizer ( which product?) and how you use the tooth whitener with it? I am really curious and want to try it.

I love the line. I started with the cleanser: no need to buy eyemakeup remover. Restorative Facial Creme is outstanding. It ain’t cheap but you only get one face!! I’m worth it.

Sisley Botanical Night Complex is heaven in a bottle! Defo steep… but mine lasts a year so I use it to treat my skin when its been through abuse via a bad diet.. or too much indulging! Put it on your birthday / anniversary wish list and wave it at the hubby! works for me! ;o)

I recently bought the Sisleÿa Concentré Eclat Anti-Age. It smelled strange when I opened it, I tried it anyway. The result: bad rash all over my face. I then checked with Sisley and found out the the product expired 3 years ago!! I went back to Sephora France where I bought the product from, was offered an apology and a new bottle. The result, rash again. Guess what, the “new” product also expired 3 years ago. I complained to Sisley and am still waiting for their response. Does anyone else have similar experience?
