Dior Prestige Le Baume de Minuit

Dior Prestige Le Baume de Minuit is the first night cream concentrated with Midnight Rosapeptide that repairs the day's accumulated damage (1) and makes the night count twice. (2) The skin is three times denser, radiant, fresh, and rested. (3)

The night is a crucial time for youth. Like the skin, roses also follow a nocturnal biological clock. At night roses produce molecules, including madecassic acid (4), while the skin’s clock synchronizers activate nocturnal regeneration functions. Dior science has discovered that with age, 80% of clock synchronizers (5) become deregulated, putting the skin’s clock out of sync and contributing to accelerated skin aging.

To address this vicious circle, Dior Prestige turned to the legendary Rose de Granville, which is even more opulent at night. After 20 years of research, Dior has unlocked the secrets of this power: a specific nighttime molecular profile, the key to protection against nocturnal aggressors.

Harvested at night in the heart of the Dior rose garden, the Roses are infused with Midnight Rosapeptide, which energizes skin’s clock synchronizers and helps accelerate nocturnal regeneration.

Dior Prestige Le Baume de Minuit acts on two levels to enhance the skin’s visible youthfulness: concentrated with Midnight Rosapeptide, it offers skin repair and helps stimulate the skin's nighttime regeneration functions. Every night, skin regenerates better to resist the day's stress factors.*

Intensely regenerated as if repaired, the skin is visibly plumped. Every morning, the features are rested and enhanced. In the morning the skin is transformed, soothed, and as fresh as a rose petal. It recovers better from everyday stress factors.

Dior Prestige Le Baume de Minuit can be used daily as a night cream, or once or twice a week as a repair mask.

MIDNIGHT ROSAPEPTIDE

A new chapter for Rosapeptide, the signature ingredient in the Dior Prestige skincare range, Midnight Rosapeptide is the result of an unprecedented Dior science discovery about the Rose de Granville's nocturnal power with its unparalleled beauty and resilience.

Every night, the roses open their petals even more. Just as skin defends itself during the day and repairs itself overnight, roses have a nocturnal clock that delays the wilting of their petals and overproduces madecassic acid, which is four times more present at night than during the day.*

Fascinated by the Rose de Granville’s nighttime opulence and vitality in the heart of the Dior rose garden, Dior Prestige has now identified the secret of its nocturnal power. The Rose de Granville produces exclusive molecules at night that are key to its nocturnal defense mechanisms.

To capture this ephemeral power, the Rose de Granville is harvested for the first time at night and transformed in the heart of the garden in the early morning using a magnetic eco-extraction process. This rich, concentrated extract produces Midnight Rosapeptide. Rich with 101 molecules, it is a combination of the original Rosapeptide and madecassic acid, a molecule with skin-regenerating properties that the roses overproduce at night.*

Infused at the heart of Dior Prestige Le Baume de Minuit's formula, Midnight Rosapeptide targets skin's clock synchronizers to help resynchronize the skin's nocturnal clock and energize its regenerative functions, helping to repair damage accumulated during the day, and making the night count twice.**

After 1 month of use, skin is 6 times denser and 3 times more radiant. In the morning, the complexion is 3 times fresher and more rested.*
