THE WHAT? L’Occitane is set to open a branch of its L’Occitane Café in Riyadh’s diplomatic quarter. The hybrid beauty boutique-cum-café will showcase the French natural cosmetics brand’s skin care, hair care and fragrance lines as well as serve refreshments.
THE DETAILS According to a report published by What’s on Saudi Arabia, the café menu includes mocktails that mirror the brand’s fragrance and beauty offer.
THE WHY? L’Occitane has opened cafes in Paris, Shibuya and Dubai and the format is clearly working as another location joins the fold. In this post-pandemic era, brands are working hard to tempt customers in store.
Clinical aesthetics products refer to a category of products used in the field of medical aesthetics or cosmetic dermatology. These products are typically designed and formulated to be used under the supervision of healthcare professionals, such as dermatologists, plastic surgeons, or trained aestheticians. They are distinct from over-the-counter cosmetics in that they often contain active ingredients or formulations that require expertise in their application or administration.
Examples of clinical aesthetics products include:
-
Dermal Fillers: Injectable substances used to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Examples include hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane.
-
Botulinum Toxin (Botox): Injectables that temporarily paralyze facial muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles caused by repetitive movements, such as frown lines and crow's feet.
-
Chemical Peels: Solutions applied to the skin to exfoliate and improve its texture. They can treat acne, pigmentation issues, and signs of aging.
-
Laser and Light Therapies: Devices that emit focused light or laser energy to treat various skin conditions, including acne, scars, and signs of aging.
-
Prescription Skincare Products: Formulations containing active ingredients like retinoids (vitamin A derivatives), hydroquinone, or prescription-strength antioxidants to address specific skin concerns under medical supervision.
