Advanced research, powerful bioactives, and innovative formulas are the lifeblood of Dior Science. By harnessing this unique expertise, we are inventing the skincare of the future every day.
Thanks to a thorough understanding of the mechanisms that reverse the signs of skin aging, Dior Science develops innovative technologies that promote visible and lasting skin rejuvenation.
Highly regenerative, stem cells have the ability to reverse the aging processes. Drawing on 40 years of research and directly inspired by regenerative medicine, Dior Capture has become the undisputed expert in stem cells, focusing on the visible and lasting reduction of the main signs of aging such as wrinkles and lack of firmness.
Inflammation and aging are directly linked. After 25 years of research in the field, Dior Prestige has decoded these mechanisms and is now considered the specialist in anti-aging micro-nutrition, a key way to slow the appearance and reverse the visible signs of inflammation: plumpness, wrinkles, firmness, radiance, and lift.
Adding beauty to the years has now become the ultimate goal. After more than 30 years of research, L’Or de Vie propels the science of skin longevity to the source by boosting the major factors of longevity.
Dior Science draws its inspiration from nature. The advances of its researchers in biotechnology now make it possible to extract exceptional bioactives from nature, which can even surpass the performance of the molecules used in dermo-cosmetics.¹
The OX-C Treatment infused in the latest Dior Capture products activates oxygen and amplifies collagen by 3.² It is combined with a new lily extract to visibly stimulate cell renewal in the epidermis. In just 7 days, the skin is already 4x firmer.³
Born from the Rose de Granville, the first rose facetted for Dior skincare, Rosapeptide™ is a unique complex of bioactives. It combines 99 Rose molecules, bringing together the vital sap and the molecular fraction of the rose with a peptide. Ultra-powerful, this concentrate with repairing properties against the signs of aging and revitalization elevates Dior Prestige to the rank of anti-aging skincare icon.
From the legendary and historic Yquem vineyard, Dior Science has extracted 5 active ingredients. By creating the Golden Drop™ Life Technology, which combines extracts of the Golden Sap and the Golden Ferment extract, it stimulates the skin’s longevity system: SOD (+150%),⁴ Sirtuines (+20%),⁵ NAD+(+30%).⁶
Over 50 years of research has led Dior Science to develop a new generation of skincare with proven effectiveness. Equipped with high tech formulas, these skincare products provide both instantly visible results and real long-term performance.
The creator of liposome technology in 1986, Dior Science unveiled in 2023 a double vectorization technology to precisely reach - and in just 8 hours⁷ - the cutaneous basal layer.
Developed by Dior Science, the shaping complex is a patented biofilm combining natural-origin tightening and plumping polymers. Capable of penetrating all epidermal layers, it provides an instant lifting effect, visible for 8 hours.⁷
Dior’s patented HA Polyfiller is the first instant plumping system, combining a duo of patented HAs. A high molecular weight HA reticulated to be more resistant to degradation, and a low molecular weight HA for deeper penetration.
At Dior Science research centers, scientists develop innovative clinical and instrumental test protocols to objectively evaluate the effectiveness of products and guarantee the House’s signature level of excellence.
Dior Science uses instrumental tests to objectively measure product effectiveness and eliminate subjective bias. State-of-the-art techniques make it possible to precisely visualize skin changes after product use.
Dior’s clinical tests, performed by dermatologists on various skin types and phototypes, evaluate product effectiveness and safety using before/after photographs in standardized light.
Dior uses LabSkin’s 3D bio-printed skin models, which accurately simulate skin interactions, to test the effectiveness of bioactives. An exclusive model has even been developed to study chronic skin inflammation (inflamm'aging).⁸
Dior uses artificial intelligence to take product testing even further by developing predictive models to forsee the future.
¹ In vitro tests on ingredients: rose sap extract vs. retinol and vitamin C on the synthesis of collagen I. Rate of active ingredients from scientific literature.
² In vitro test on ingredient.
³ Clinical test performed by a dermatologist, 34 women, after using the serum and cream. Comparison between T0 and T7 days.
⁴ SOD = Superoxide dismutase = protein of life. In vitro test on ingredients.
⁵ In vitro tests on ingredients.
⁶ NAD+= Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide. In vitro test on ingredient: action on the synthesis enzyme by the sap extract.
⁷ Ex vivo test on ingredients (8h).
⁸ Inflamm’aging: micro-damage caused by time and external aggressions.
