Gatineau’s philosophy is best summarised in two words: pure technology. Gatineau put this concept into action by acquiring ingredients from the purest of natural sources, and combining those ingredients through the use of biotechnology to produce products that exploit the power of the best elements nature has to offer.
Beauty products in the Gatineau stable include facial care formulas for all skin types. The Gatineau range includes special formulas for dry/dehydrated skin, oily/combination skin, and sensitive skin along side specialty products for anti-ageing and skin resurfacing.
For dry and dehydrated skin, Gatineau offer the Diffusance Creamy Mask. This mask uses lactic acid and chamomile extracts to soften and smooth the face, providing an instant moisture boost and leaving the skin softer. The mask also works to lock in moisture by enhancing the skin’s outer lipid barrier. Other Gatineau products for dry and dehydrated skin include: Hydromineral Absolute Concentrate, a gel that works to balance the mineral and moisture content of skin naturally through daily use; Hydromineral Diffusance Emulsion, which moisturises and increases the supplety of the skin, even against the harshest elements; and, Electelle Exfoliating Treatment, a three-in-one scrub that is gentle enough to use up to two times a week.
Gatineau’s products for oily/combination skin include: Mateliance Anti-Shine Lotion, a light moisturiser that works to absorb oil and impurities while simultaneously protecting and hydrating the skin; Mateliance Purifying Clarifying Emulsion, a cleanser formulated to clean, purify and moisturise as well as tighten pores; and the Mateliance Purifying Regulating Serum, which melts into the skin to regulate excess sebum and leave skin feeling soothed and balanced. Additionally, Gatineau’s SOS Stick makes a handy touch up tool, as it works to quickly lessen the severity of spots.
Gatineau’s unique anti-ageing skin care range includes products like Melatogenine Mask, which works to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wringkles, as well as providing a visible ‘plumping’ effect through the use of collagen and Melatogenine. The Melatogenine range of products is based on thorough research and the development of an exclusive molecule that works to keep skin young and supple at a cellular level. In addition to the Anti-Ageing Mask, Gatineau’s range of products with Melatogenine includes Eye Contour cream, Day & Night cream, and Pure Focus Anti-Wrinkle treatment.
Other unique products in the Gatineu collection are those in the resurfacing skin care collection – these are products specifically formulated to leave the skin feeling fresh, smooth, supple and radiant. These innovative products are inspired by the technology of laser skin resurfacing, but pose none of the risks associated with such procedures. Products in this line include Laser Day Concentrate, Laser Contour Concentrate, Laser Night Concentrate, Laser Energising Mask, and Gatineau’s Laser Comfort. In general, Gatineau customers see results after following this product regime for 21 to 28 days.
Other beauty products by Gatineau include lines for body care, such as Reactiv’ R Slenderizing Emulsion Gel, which can be applied daily to problem areas for increased firmness and suppleness; as well as Gatineau sun care products, such as the Anti-aging Tanning Cream, which provides UV protection as well as tan stimulation for a natural, long-lasting tan.
Gatineau products are available across the UK in prestigious salons, spas and home shopping channels as well as through Gatineau’s own website, thebeautyroom.com and the Gatineau mail order network.
