Elysee cosmetics has chose the statement, “Where Science meets Skincare” to market their brand, and rightfully so! Elysee cosmetics was founded decades ago by Dr Elizabeth Blumenthal, who started off in the cosmetics and skincare field by accident. Dr Blumenthal provided assistance to various skin issues that the US military was faced with during World War 1 and afterwards. This is the time when Dr Blumenthal created her first skincare product for the military – a hand cream.

In the 1940s the Elysee cosmetics and skincare company really began to take off and establish a name for itself. Women truly appreciated how these products actually contained natural ingredients (which was quite unheard of back in the 1940s). The Elysee cosmetics were infused with natural products such as grape seed, wine extract, Royal Jelly, AHA’s, botanicals, olive oil, and several other vitamins and nutrients. Elysee cosmetics has also introduced several vital breakthrough skincare products, such as:

ESCollag: A peptide and algae complex that helps prevent skin from aging by infusing it with collagen and ridding it of free radicals. This wonder formula also protect cells from oxidative stress and photodamage. This is an exclusive formulation to Elysee cosmetics.

ESCoDerm: This formulation contains a mix of active peptides which again helps keep skin from aging and will keep wrinkles at bay. If you have sensitive skin, this formulation will also make your skin feel more comfortable and soothed.

ESCynoFirm: Like the ESCollag, this formulation also helps stimulate collagen production and elastin to help keep skin tight and youthful in appearance. ESCynoFirm also helps keep continuously renewing your skin cells, making your skin look radiant and beautiful.

ESCoMoist: If you are looking to smooth out your skin as well as improve your skin’s elasticity, look for any Elysee cosmetic product that contains ESCoMoist. This formulation will keep your skin continuously hydrated and protected by enhancing the barrier function of the lipid skin layer.

Elysee cosmetics and skincare have also brought out a skincare line, LaserCare, which is devoted to women who have received laser treatments.

The skincare lines are divided into a few different segments to help women with different skincare problems receive the treatment they need. These segments are:

• Acne skincare
• Anti-aging skincare
• Oily/Combination skin skincare
• Dry/Dehydrated skincare
• Hormonally Challenged skincare
• Hyper-Pigmentation skincare
• Rosacea skincare
• Stressed skin skincare

If you are not sure which skin type you are, you can click on the link “What’s Right for You” on the Elysee cosmetics website or click on the “Contact Us” link on the website and ask them for further advice.

With so many beauty products coming and going these days, it’s nice to see a cosmetic and skincare line like this one continue on after 85 years in the business. Elysee cosmetics can be found in a number of places, perhaps the most notable being the “HSN” (home shopping network) television channel in the United States. Several department stores and drugstores carry Elysee cosmetics, and you can of course find several of these products online.
