Dr. Rheims: The secret of the Mayans in an anti-aging range

New Swiss made label Dr. Rheims Cosmetics was founded in 2015, by doctor Dominique Rheims, specialist doctor in plastic surgery, reconstructive and aesthetic. Its aim? 

To offer high cosmetology care with formulas with less than 10 ingredients, all of plant origin, combined around a key active ingredient, derived from the pharmacopoeia. With the watchword transparency, each component, selected for its efficiency, is clearly identified on the product packaging. Eclipsage, the first anti-aging range of the brand, was built from a maya plant, the Tepezcohuite, nicknamed the skin tree for its regenerative properties.

 Dr. Rheims is expanding its Eclipsage anti-aging range launching two new exclusive treatments: Eclipsage Night Primer and Eclipsage Hand Cream.

Key ingredient of their formulations, the Tepezcohuite. A spiny tree from Latin America, nicknamed "miracle tree", whose bark has the property of accelerating the healing and regeneration of the skin. Nearly 25 years of development have been needed to find the best phyto-cosmetic synergy and give birth to the perfect anti-aging accord with this spectacular Mayan plant.

So two years after the launch of the anti-aging cream the Eclipsage expands with the new exclusive treatments both based on the famous extract plant of Tepezcohuite. Inspired by his practice in plastic surgery, Dominique Rheims has developed in 2015 the anti-aging cream Eclipsage, a Swiss made anti-aging cream, exclusively composed of plant extracts. The key ingredient? 

The Tepezcohuite, a thorny tree from Latin America, nicknamed skin tree or miracle tree. Used by Mayans healers for year, its bark, rich in tannins, in flavonoids and saponins, accelerates the healing and regeneration of skin. Nearly 25 years of development were needed by Dr. Rheims to find the best synergy in phyto-cosmetics with the spectacularly powerful Mayan plant and to give birth to the anti-aging accord. A 2-in-1 treatment with a highly concentrated formulation that is used both as a day creamuu or night cream. 

Dr. Rheims

Eclipsage Night Primer

With the Tepezcohuite as key asset, the Eclipsage night primer is a great

booster for your skin. I applied the Night Primer

 at night on clean and dry skin 

and it is a great way to prepare skin to receive and optimize other

 treatments such as the anti-aging cream. 

"I have transposed my experience of plastic surgery and 

medical peels into the world of

cosmetic. The idea is to create a care, close to my office practice"

explains Dominique Rheims.

The Night Primer really changes the look of your skin, providing

moisturization and refining your skin. 

The Night Primer has an aqueous texture and is also great to use 

at each change of season. 

Its formulation contains above all four ingredients with perfectly 

synergistic actions, including Bioecolia®, prebiotic, 

long-lasting protection of the ecoflora of skin ecosystems and

stimulation of the natural defenses of the skin as

 well as glycolic acid, acid

fruit with anti-aging properties, 

which exfoliates, tones and evenifies the complexion.

Eclipsage Hand Cream

Our hands are one of the parts of our bodies that can 

really show signg of aging. 

Always exposed, they are often subject to the stigmata of age just 

like our face. It is from this observation that Dominique Rheims 

wanted to develop a cream specifically

dedicated to this fragile area. 

"A surgeon is washing his hands a lot. As

user, I could not find products that fully meet my needs

 and those of my patients. 

The hand cream is an indispensable complement to

the anti-aging cream in an anti-aging care routine. 

Combining the properties of

Mimosa Tenuiflora with those of meadow queen oil, 

rosemary, lady's mantle,

or the mauve of the woods, the intense

 cream helps to protect, soften

and improve the cutaneous plasticity of the hands. 

Applied after each time you wash your hands and

or at bedtime in addition to the night primer.

The hand cream helps in

repairing even the most damaged skin, especially

 in case of marked signs

aging with photo-pigmentation spots.

It has a non-greasy texture that penetrates easily. 

Its natural and discreet smell makes it pleasant to use for both men and women.

Radiant skin is synonymous with youth and energy and a sign of health.

Over the years, however, the skin is increasingly challenged: environmental influences such as UV rays, pollution and lifestyle in the form of an unbalanced diet, lack of sleep, stress and smoking can have a bad impact on our skin. All these factors lead to oxidative stress by free radicals and the result is an accumulation of toxins.
