Darphin is France's foremost aromatherapy and phytotherapy skincare collection, trouncing its copy-cat, Decleor, with an unparalleled array of elegant, intertwinable formulations designed to revamp and refashion the appearance of skin with magnificent contrast and nuance.

For more than fifty years, Darphin's miniscule niche has been women demanding "la haute couture de la beauté" — skincare utterly specific to an individual's skin type, age, condition, concerns and, more than any other formulator with the possible exception of La Prairie, an individual's preference to customize the finer points of their skin's natural appearance outside the realm of makeup.

Where La Prairie has a characteristically Swiss, clinical approach to skincare heavily tempered by luxury, Darphin revels in harnessing the therapeutic and aesthetic potential of plants in the most refined manner possible.

Darphin's creator, Dr. Pierre Darphin, would probably find the likes of most "natural" skincare underdeveloped:

YonKa — with virtually every formula containing the same blend of five strong essential oils (Rosemary, Thyme, Cypress, Lavender, Geranium) in a limited number of base formulas, is comparatively heavy-handed, repetitive and simplistic;
Dr. Hauschka — the use of single essential oils could be said to lack artistry;
Jurlique — like Dr. Hauschka, single and basic essential oil complexes and plants repeatedly adorn a few base oil, cream and gel formulas with little to no thought given to their synergistic scientific and aesthetic potential;
Decleor — probably closer in results and purpose to Clarins, Decleor arrived on the scene two decades after Darphin to ape its ideals in a manner that attracts a much larger, younger audience. In the process, costs are cut to produce cheaper products (far fewer ingredients, simplified formulas, far less anti-aging) and higher volumes (more generic, less individually-relevant products for quicker and easier sale through mass market channels, and reduced likelihood of dissatisfaction in case of incorrect use).

The Darphin skincare aficionado is typically a sensitive, artistic woman with a well-cultivated commitment to the finer things in life, and little (if any) interest in the vagaries of the mainstream beauty industry.

For these women, skincare is about finding a perfect marriage between pleasure and results, with the finest imaginable attention to detail, and the comfort of knowing they've satisfied the demands of their character and personal preferences without compromise.

Virtually no two Darphin skincare protocols are the same, and with hen's teeth availability of bona-fide Darphin specialists throughout the world (only three in Australia, and none in many countries), the exclusivity of the skincare and its methods is a natural outcome.

The abilities which enable individual realisation of the unconditionally luxuriant skin characteristic of perfectly-applied Darphin cannot be rushed or automated.

Darphin use which isn't ideal, is haphazard or (perhaps most importantly) incomplete, is an ultimately unsatisfying waste of time.

The department store is surely the worst place to experience Darphin, for its characteristic lack of attention to detail beyond its manufacture of desire through marketing, coercive gifts with purchase and a generally overriding devotion to the bottom line.

Only careful, individual attention finds the path through this prodigious range of skincare which unlocks its scintillating merits.

Darphin skin care has a high abstract value — the more intensely you experience it, the more it reveals to you its unique virtues.

With time, you'll enjoy details you didn't even notice at first — the unique luster it lends your perfectly prepared complexion, the harmony of exquisite formulas used in series, imaginative, artful stimulation of your senses through carefully controlled aromatherapy... the value of Darphin increases with time.

Aesthetic Properties of Darphin Moisturizers

How would you like your skin to look? Darphin Phytotherapy Moisturizers tackle the basic need for hydration while introducing an array of optical and tactile options.

Darphin Hydraskin — abundant light-weight moisture produces a fresh, dewy-look ideal for summer and blondes;

Darphin Predermine — rich and satisfying for skin which feels dense with a resilient, firm and demi-matte finish without visible traces; fills fine lines and wrinkles without adding colour;

Darphin Stimulskin — stimulating and smoothing for maximum glow, depth and warmth; develops a lively and rich luster with plump features and moist highlights; a finish matched to evening ware;

Darphin Instant Lumiere — while applied, lightens skin colour and greatly increases reflectivity for a uniformly pure and bright glow; beloved by brides; in colder months, increases the contrast between skin and darkly coloured hair without makeup;

Darphin ArovitaC — midway between Predermine and Stimulskin with more visible moisture but less tightening than Predermine, and less of Stimulskin's intensity, better-suited to daily wear.

20/1/08 — Seven Deadly Beauty Sins — Darphin Hydraskin Serum.

4/2/08 — Darphin Fibrogene Line Response Nourishing Cream — Health Today.
