In the quest for youthful, radiant skin, a luminous, uniform skin tone stands as the ultimate symbol of vitality and youth. Dior Prestige introduces an upgraded formulation for the La Solution Lumière Activated Serum and L’Oléo-Essence Lumière, designed to help you achieve radiant skin that glows from within.
The key to radiance
Dior Science’s latest research redefines our understanding of skin radiance, revealing that it extends beyond a uniform skin tone. While addressing dark spots and colour imperfections is vital, Dior’s studies show that true radiance also depends on the skin’s structural health across its dermis, epidermis, and skin barrier. This approach identifies wrinkles not just as signs of ageing, but as ‘light traps’ that affect the skin’s ability to reflect light, thus impacting its luminosity.

Dior’s research has discovered the importance of skin’s structural integrity across its three layers: the dermis, epidermis, and the crucial skin barrier. This tri-layer approach to skin health reveals that wrinkles, often perceived purely as age indicators, are also key light traps. They impair the skin’s ability to reflect light optimally, thus affecting its overall radiance. Dior’s findings illustrate how ageing, amplified by factors like UV exposure, leads to a cascade of changes in skin density and structure, resulting in a complexion that absorbs rather than reflects light. This absorption not only dulls the skin but also accentuates its irregularities, diminishing its youthful appearance.
A rose by any other name…
The Rose de Granville, a flower born from the harsh cliffs of Normandy and perfected through Dior Science, stands at the forefront of the Dior Prestige line for its unparalleled regenerative powers. This rose, though beautiful and grand as a rose should be, is also exceptionally resilient and contains powerful micronutrients which aid in skin structure repair and rejuvenation.
Complementing this, the White Rose is celebrated for its exceptional illuminating properties. It’s not just its visual purity that makes it a skincare staple; its extracts have shown remarkable efficacy in brightening the skin and inhibiting pigmentation, making it an integral part of achieving a luminous complexion.

These two exceptional roses come together to form the White Rosapeptide, a complex rich in micronutrients that’s designed to replenish moisture while boosting collagen production. In addition, the Illuminating Complex derived from White Rose, with vitamin C and Niacinamide, aims to correct dark spots and inflammation, while reducing inflammation and neutralising free radical damage.
Finally, a Licorice extract is added to the formulation to help calm irritated skin and promote a more even skin tone. The result? Firmer skin that is not only brighter but soothed and balanced with a healthy glow.
It’s all about light
In the context of skin, ‘light traps’ refer to factors that diminish the skin’s ability to reflect light, leading to a less radiant and more aged appearance. These include pigmentation issues like dark spots and structural changes such as wrinkles and loss of firmness.
Dior’s Photo-Age Reverse Technology specifically addresses these light traps. It works on three levels of the skin to combat the effects of photoageing. At the outermost layer, it strengthens the skin barrier, reducing dehydration and sensitivity. In the epidermis, it boosts cell renewal and regulates melanin production, helping to smooth fine lines and reduce dark spots. Deeper in the dermis, it improves skin density and firmness, tackling the sagging and deep wrinkles that age the skin. This holistic approach not only counters the light traps but also rejuvenates the skin’s overall radiance and youthfulness.
La Solution Lumière Activated Serum: A beacon of light
The Dior Prestige La Solution Lumière Activated Serum is an advanced serum suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Made with 90 percent natural ingredients, this product targets both skin structure and pigmentation. Key to its efficacy is the White Rosapeptide, which significantly reduces the neuropeptides responsible for causing hyper-pigmentation, thus stopping dark spots in its tracks, even before they form.
