The science of glowing skin meets the power of honey in Guerlain’s latest serum.
Founded more than 200 years ago, Guerlain surely knows that beauty and science go hand in hand. Developed over a span of 15 years, its Abeille Royale range is known for its cutting-edge approach to skin repair, powered by the natural potency of honey. Now, the latest addition to the line, the Abeille Royale Youth Watery Oil Serum, takes this expertise even further.
The formula is built on years of research into mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), the skin’s natural repair agents. Guerlain partnered with French research lab Restore to understand how these cells behave under stress and how to reactivate them to keep skin looking firm, smooth and radiant. The result is the new Deep Repair Technology, which doesn’t just work superficially but helps restore the dermis from within.
Of course, honey remains at the core of the formula. The brand has carefully sourced three rare black bee honeys from Ouessant Island in France, Connemara in Ireland and Trøgstad in Norway. These types of honey, packed with amino acids, vitamins and antioxidants, help support skin regeneration while keeping it hydrated and resilient. The addition of royal jelly further enhances the ability to restore skin’s natural vitality. But what truly sets this serum apart is its lightweight, fast-absorbing texture. Infused with delicate microbeads, the oil is formulated to glide onto the skin and melt instantly, leaving no greasy residue, just a healthy, refreshed glow. With continued use, the Abeille Royale Youth Watery Oil Serum promises to help the dermis recover faster, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, improving elasticity and restoring a firmer, more youthful look over time. Beyond skincare, the brand’s commitment to bee conservation remains stronger than ever.
Through the Guerlain for Bees Conservation Programme, the brand has supported bee protection efforts worldwide and with the Women for Bees initiative with UNESCO, it trains female beekeepers in sustainable practices.
