Professional Skin Care & Beauty Since 1999
Founded more than 40 years ago by French chemist Rene Guinot, Guinot Paris is today a world leader in professional spa products and treatments. Offering a complete range of products for every skin type and condition, Guinot Paris combines top-quality ingredients with advanced technology to deliver both luxury and efficacy. Guinot professional treatments are available in more than 11,000 salons and spas across 70 countries, working synergistically with the retail product range in accordance with Guinot's philosophy of "total beauty care."
This concept goes far beyond mere beauty products. The Guinot approach delivers visibly glowing, healthy skin through a proprietary blend of 56 advanced ingredients known as the Cellular Life Complex. This complex encourages the renewal of key skin cells responsible for three fundamental processes: cellular metabolism, cellular oxygenation, and skin elasticity and firmness. Every product in the Guinot range undergoes a rigorous research and development process in the brand's state-of-the-art laboratory outside of Paris, ensuring both safety and proven effectiveness.
Guinot's signature professional treatment, the Hydradermie Lift Facial, was one of the most sought-after services at the Skin1 spa in Chicago — and was featured by Time Out Chicago as one of the city's best advanced skincare treatments. The second-generation Hydradermie machine emits an ionization current through two metal-tipped wands to help Guinot's specialized gels penetrate deep into the skin. Using a customized combination of ionization gels and a high-frequency current, the 90-minute treatment stimulates the skin, leaving it more hydrated, oxygenated, and balanced while smoothing fine lines. Results are often visible immediately after a single session.
One outstanding example of Guinot's commitment to innovation is the Acti-Rides Flash wrinkle treatment. This product contains Derm Liss, a proprietary complex comprising Hyaluronic Acid to restore moisture and improve suppleness, and Dynalift, which forms a firming film over the skin's surface for an immediate micro-lifting effect. The unique pen applicator features three dermo-balls: the first stimulates the dermis to physically erase surface wrinkles, while the other two help the serum's active ingredients penetrate optimally. Applied daily to frown lines, crow's feet, and smile lines, visible smoothing can be noticed in as little as two minutes.
In true French style, Guinot skin care products delight the senses with elegant textures, luxurious fragrances, and sophisticated packaging. The range encompasses comprehensive face care solutions for every concern — from hydration and brightening to anti-aging and firming — as well as targeted body care products. The Tres Homme collection addresses the specific skincare needs of men, recognizing that male skin has distinct characteristics that require tailored formulations.
