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.

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.
