In early October Guerlain beauty unveiled the brand’s serum concentrate Orchidée Impériale, The Longevity Concentrate at the Guerlain Spa at Regent Santa Monica Beach.
Set within Regent Santa Monica Beach, the Guerlain Spa offers a tranquil escape where the refinement of French beauty traditions meets the gentle rhythm of the Pacific. The 10,000-square-foot sanctuary feels thoughtfully composed for rest renewal and rejuvenation.
During the visit, the Guerlain spokesperson introduced the new serum concentrate and described its place in a skincare ritual. The presentation reflected the spa’s broader philosophy: treatments informed by nearly two hundred years of Guerlain expertise, shaped around each guest, and enriched by considered sensory details. The Guerlain Spa features a boutique with their specialty skin care and personalized perfume experiences where The Orchidée Impériale, and L’Heure Bleue eau de parfum are featured, guests can discover skincare, makeup, personal fragrance scent experiences, and beauty services.
L’Heure Bleue Eau de Parfum, Orchidée Impériale, The Longevity Concentrate
The serum concentrate has been built around the extreme longevity properties of orchids. Orchid longevity uses extracts from Vanda coerulea, clinically evaluated over a century targeting multiple cellular longevity pathways. Research product information shared at the event reported that, after 30 days, assessments of firmness, density, plumpness, and facial contours showed improvements of nearly 30%.
Its finish transforms the complexion to a soft, healthy radiance. The Guerlain spokesperson explained that this luminosity is created chiefly through hydration, rather than a high concentration of illuminating ingredients. The formula does not contain mica; any light-reflecting elements are naturally derived, including mother-of-pearl, and are suitable for sensitive skin.
The Regent Santa Monica Beach is the only Guerlain spa on the U.S. West Coast. The facilities include 12 private treatment rooms, among them a couples’ suite, as well as separate men’s and women’s relaxation areas with hot tubs, saunas, and steam rooms. Les Clos, an all-gender lounge, provides another inviting spot to unwind.
The menu brings together advanced skincare and restorative rituals. Skin Perfection, a 90-minute facial created exclusively for Regent Santa Monica Beach, combines Guerlain expertise with HydraFacial technology to cleanse, exfoliate, detoxify, and hydrate the skin. Skin Surfing features radio-frequency technology within a calming facial designed to support firmer-looking skin and a radiant finish. A two-hour Crystal Vibes experience pairs a crystal-filled mattress with a crystal sound bath. The Blue Renaissance Facial features Orchidée Impériale Concentrate Serum, cooling cryo globes, and blue LED therapy. Its body counterpart, the Blue Renaissance Massage blends deep therapeutic techniques with Lomi Lomi-inspired movements and assisted stretching.
Guests may also choose Guerlain Glow After Dark, an evening experience with candlelit access and treatments focused on radiance, or arrange a Spa Soirée for a birthday, bridal gathering, or an evening with friends. The atmosphere is relaxed, with robes and time to linger adding to the sense of ease.
The resort’s wellness offerings continue beyond the spa, with a two-story fitness center open around the clock, a movement studio hosting weekly Pilates, yoga, and HIIT classes, and a pool deck furnished with cabanas, daybeds, and loungers.
The visit offered a glimpse of a retreat made for more than a single treatment: a place to step away from the day, move from expert skincare into restorative calm, and let the nearby shoreline set the pace. A special sound bath at the iconic Regent Beach View Pool Deck brings the experience even closer to the ocean.
