A technology at the service of the skin

How Does a Chemical Peel Actually Work?

Today, chemical peels are no longer reserved for dermatology clinics. Thanks to advances in formulation technology, they are now incorporated into many at-home cosmetic treatments, with concentrations carefully adjusted to ensure both effectiveness and safety.

Laboratories have succeeded in:

  • stabilizing formulas to minimize irritation

  • combining active ingredients for targeted results

  • developing pleasant textures that are easy to use

What is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel involves applying an acid-based solution to the skin to create a controlled exfoliation. This process helps remove dead skin cells and stimulates cellular renewal.

The most commonly used acids are:

  • AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids or fruit acids)

  • BHAs (such as salicylic acid)

  • PHAs, which are gentler and suitable for sensitive skin

At GERnétic International, we have developed the Glycolic Peel Duo, which consists of a Derma Peel (chemical peel) and a Neutra Peel (neutralizing lotion). This treatment protocol can only be performed in a professional beauty institute.

The Perfect Range

Les Parfaits by GERnétic International: The Return of an Exceptional Anti-Aging Range

At GERnétic International, skincare expertise meets a commitment to visible results. With the return of the Les Parfaits range, the brand reaffirms its vision of anti-aging skincare: precise, high-performing, and deeply respectful of the skin’s natural physiology.

Designed to help the skin combat the signs of aging, Les Parfaits is a synergy of three exceptional treatments created to smooth, regenerate, and revitalize skin tissues. This expert routine is ideal for targeting wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of firmness.

A Trio of Excellence for Visibly Younger-Looking Skin

The Les Parfaits range is built around a complete and complementary skincare ritual:

  • The Repair Concentrate
    A true rejuvenating serum, it acts as a beauty elixir highly concentrated in cellular repair agents. Its ultra-fresh gel texture, enhanced with citrus and floral notes, instantly brings tone and vitality to the skin. It perfectly prepares the epidermis to receive the following treatments.

  • The Youth Cream
    The flagship morning treatment, this lifting-effect cream delivers powerful anti-aging benefits. It combats skin senescence and visibly smooths facial features from the very first application. Applied after the Repair Concentrate, it provides an immediate tightening effect for skin that feels firmer, more toned, and radiant throughout the day.

  • The Anti-Time Cream
    A truly luxurious cream, it works intensively overnight to regenerate and revitalize skin tissues. Its blend of essential nutrients helps fight cellular aging, while its rich, velvety texture envelops the skin in deep comfort. Upon waking, the skin feels nourished, rested, and visibly smoother.

GERnétic Cells Boost Biocellulose Mask: What is it really used for?

The GERnétic Cells Boost biocellulose mask is an innovative facial treatment highly concentrated in serum. Designed to complement the brand’s activating skincare products, it helps to further stimulate the action of active ingredients and optimize results on the skin.

This next-generation mask acts as a true express cellular vitality treatment, ideal for restoring radiance, freshness, and comfort to the skin.

A Facial Mask with Customizable Results

One of the major advantages of the GERnétic Cells Boost mask is that its application time can be adjusted according to the skin’s needs and the desired results.

  • After 10 minutes of application : the skin immediately regains freshness, radiance, and firmness. The complexion appears brighter and more refreshed.
  • Beyond 10 minutes : the mask works more deeply to regenerate, soothe, and plump the skin, while enhancing hydration.

This flexibility allows the treatment to be transformed into either an express beauty ritual or a more intensive regenerative treatment.

A Concentrate of Active Ingredients to Revitalize the Skin

The serum infused into the GERnétic Cells Boost biocellulose mask is particularly rich in active ingredients recognized for their skin benefits:

  • Calendula : soothes and helps repair the skin
  • Aloe Vera : hydrates while providing comfort and freshness
  • Vitamin C : brightens the complexion and helps even out skin tone
  • Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) : improves skin quality and strengthens the skin barrier
  • Amino Acids and Natural Sugars : contribute to hydration and help maintain skin volume

Thanks to this combination of active ingredients, the skin becomes more hydrated, more supple, and visibly plumper.

A Treatment Suitable for All Skin Types

The GERnétic Cells Boost mask is suitable for all skin types:

  • young skin lacking radiance
  • tired or stressed skin
  • mature skin seeking regeneration
  • sensitive skin requiring soothing and hydration

It acts as a cellular vitality booster, providing evenness, hydration, soothing benefits, and a plumping effect.

How to prepare your skin for the coming sun?

Preparing your skin effectively for sun exposure is essential to preserve its health and beauty. At GERnétic, we are experts in advanced specialized skincare and offer innovative products to deeply nourish and protect your skin. Here are some tips to help prepare your skin for the sun:

  1. Daily Hydration : Well-hydrated skin is more resistant to external aggressors, including UV rays. Use suitable moisturizing skincare products to maintain your skin’s elasticity and suppleness.
  2. Appropriate Sun Protection : Before any sun exposure, apply adequate sun protection to shield your skin from the harmful effects of the sun.

 

Personalized Consultation : Every skin type is unique. It is recommended to consult a beautician trained in GERnétic products to receive personalized advice and select the skincare products best suited to your skin type. By adopting these measures, you will help your skin prepare effectively for sun exposure while benefiting from the innovative skincare solutions offered by GERnétic.

The perfect protocol for protecting your skin from the sun

The GERnétic International sun care range promotes an “intelligent” tan while respecting the unique characteristics of the skin for optimal prevention and protection.

Here, you will discover the best practices for safe sun exposure.

1. Do not stay in the sun for extended periods, even when using a sunscreen product.

2. Avoid sun exposure during peak sunlight hours.

3. Excessive sun exposure is a serious health risk.

4. Apply sunscreen before sun exposure and reapply frequently to maintain protection, especially after sweating, swimming, or towel drying.

5. Apply a sufficient amount of product to all exposed areas. Reducing the amount applied significantly decreases the level of protection.

 

It is also very important to use sun protection that is suited to your skin phototype and the level of sun exposure.

Dr. Laporte’s Advice:

In the event of severe sunburn, in addition to using After Sun Gel, it is recommended to apply Synchro for its soothing, repairing, and regenerating properties. For a longer-lasting and more radiant tan, perform regular exfoliation with Ger Peel. It is preferable not to exfoliate during periods of sun exposure, as exfoliation can weaken the skin’s natural protection by reducing the outermost layer of the skin. Instead, prioritize exfoliation before and after sun exposure.

Why proper skin cleansing is essential for preserving and maintaining it

Taking care of your skin does not begin with a miracle cream, but with a simple, everyday gesture that is often underestimated: cleansing. Cleansing your skin morning and evening is the foundation of an effective skincare routine, regardless of your skin type (dry, oily, combination, or sensitive). Yet many people neglect this step or perform it incorrectly, compromising the health and beauty of their skin. So, why is this step so essential? And how should it be done properly? Let’s take a closer look.


1. Cleansing: The First Beauty and Health Essential

Our skin is constantly exposed to external aggressors such as pollution, dust, fine particles, makeup, sebum, and sweat. All of these elements accumulate on the skin’s surface, clog pores, and prevent the skin from breathing properly. The result: a dull complexion, imperfections, and accelerated skin aging.

A good cleansing routine helps to detoxify the skin, remove impurities, and promote cell renewal. It is the first step toward maintaining healthy, radiant, and balanced skin.


2. Clean Skin Is More Receptive to Skincare

Applying a serum or cream to poorly cleansed skin is a bit like watering a plant in a clogged pot. Active ingredients cannot penetrate effectively, reducing the benefits of your skincare products. Clean skin is prepared to receive and absorb all the goodness of the treatments you apply.


3. Common Mistakes to Avoid

Cleansing your skin is important, but it must be done correctly! Here are some common mistakes to avoid:

  • Using a cleanser that is too harsh: this can strip the skin, disrupt its protective hydrolipidic barrier, and cause redness or excessive sebum production.

  • Skipping your morning cleanse: overnight, the skin eliminates toxins and produces sebum. A simple splash of water is not enough!

  • Removing makeup without cleansing afterward: a makeup remover eliminates makeup but not all impurities. It should always be followed by a proper cleanser.


4. The Right Step at the Right Time

  • Morning: to awaken the skin and remove excess sebum and toxins produced overnight.

  • Evening: to remove pollution, makeup, and impurities accumulated throughout the day.

Choose a product that suits your skin type: gel, foam, cleansing milk, cleansing oil, or micellar water. The key is to select a gentle, non-irritating formula adapted to your skin’s needs.


5. Cleansing: A Moment to Reconnect with Yourself

Beyond its physiological benefits, cleansing can become a soothing ritual. By taking the time to gently massage your face, you stimulate microcirculation, release tension, and reconnect with your body. A simple yet valuable gesture in our often fast-paced lives.


In Conclusion
Cleansing your skin is not optional—it is essential. It forms the foundation of every skincare routine and is the first step toward maintaining beautiful, healthy, and radiant skin over time. So tonight, take two minutes in front of the mirror and give your skin what it deserves: a thorough, gentle cleanse… and plenty of care.

When cosmetics pave the way for inclusivity

The rise of inclusive beauty encompasses the recognition and celebration of diversity in all its forms. This trend is manifested by a shift in traditional norms and an acceptance of individuality.

Growth of the male cosmetics market

In the context of male beauty, this trend is manifested by an acceptance by men of their desire to take care of their skin, to have a grooming routine and sometimes even make-up. Often discouraged from expressing their interest in these products, changing social attitudes allow men to feel freer to explore their own personal expression through beauty products.

The men’s skincare market is booming , with a growing range of products tailored to the specific needs of male skin. Brands are recognizing the importance of this growing need and developing products to meet it.

The evolution of representations; an asset

Media influencers play a crucial role in promoting inclusive beauty. Whether it’s media, film, or social media influencers, these figures are helping to normalize men’s skincare. Cosmetic brands and companies are starting to feature a greater diversity of male models in their advertising campaigns.

GERnétic International, precursor of male beauty

For over 10 years now, GERnétic International Laboratories have developed a line of products for men’s beauty. Indeed, having hydrated, well-groomed, less wrinkled skin is an additional asset in personal and professional life. Perfect skin without compromise or frills. GERnétic has developed 5 products: 5 uses. Clean, Moisturize, Lift, Soothe, Revive.

  • Cleanse your skin with Gel Men , the facial cleanser that cleanses and sanitizes;
  • Moisturize with Hydra Men , the light cream that penetrates easily without leaving any traces;
  • Lift with Lift Men , a real firming treatment for the face and hands;
  • Soothe with After Shave Balm to instantly calm razor burn;
  • Relax with L’Homme , an energizing, refreshing and toning treatment.

L’Exquis, an eau de parfum that is part of our ongoing care

For many years, gourmand, opulent perfumes were very popular, but for some time now, fresh perfumes have been all the rage and are increasingly in demand. Fresh perfumes are mainly composed of citrus, floral or aquatic notes. The marine accord is a natural note full of vitality while maintaining lightness.

L’Exquis was born from a strong desire to bring to life the essence of GERnétic products beyond skin care.

Floral and marine eau de parfum

Beyond skin care, our eau de parfum with its aquatic and floral fragrances full of vitality is a cloud of well-being. A saving escape in space and time. A perfume to smell and feel the sensations of the open sea.

The top note, a zest of lime, reveals a luminous tangy burst.

Then, the heart note takes us towards a vibrant freshness revealed by marine notes. Lavender, known for its aromatic scents, softens with the aquatic florality of lotus.

This floral heart finally warms on the skin with elegant cedarwood and sensual white musk.

L’Exquis is a return to nature, to the horizons of the open sea and to spaces of fresh, pure air, in an aquatic fragrance that revives sunny, salty memories.

Directions for use

Enjoy the aromas of Exquis for personal pleasure to use daily or for an occasion that is dear to you.

After a GERnétic treatment for long-lasting pleasure in a soothing and invigorating atmosphere.

Makeup removal: The first essential beauty step

Makeup removal is an essential skincare ritual to maintain the health and beauty of the skin. Throughout the day, our skin is exposed to various external aggressions such as pollution, fine particles, dirt or makeup. Not cleaning the skin properly can lead to the accumulation of these impurities, thus clogging the pores and promoting the appearance of pimples, blackheads and other skin imperfections.

Not only does removing makeup remove residue and dirt, it also allows the skin to regenerate overnight.

In order to obtain a clear and luminous complexion, the first step to take is to gently remove makeup from your entire face and eyes to remove all traces of makeup; you can use a cleansing milk, a cleansing oil, or even micellar water to do this. Depending on your preferences and the needs of your skin, there are various products that can satisfy you. After this first step, use a toning lotion to perfect your makeup removal and prepare your skin to receive the final treatments.

To finish removing your make-up, it is important to apply a moisturizing cream at the end of the treatment, which may, depending on your skin’s needs, contain other active ingredients.
