What It DoesThanks to a powerful duo of orchids, Night Cell Respiration Technology delivers all its age-defying power on the skin to combat the nocturnal hypoxia peak**, i.e. when the oxygen deficiency in the cells is at its height and the lying position compresses certain areas of the skin which hinders the flow of fluids. The skin appears rejuvenated.
Combined with a plant extract with firming and soothing properties**, it helps combat wrinkles and face puffiness caused by lying down, so the skin looks rested on waking.
The revolutionary micro-emulsion formula is in perfect harmony with the skin: its microdroplets thinner than skin cells work inside the epidermis for a highly sensorial, diffusing action.
Coupled with the unique massage technique using the L-Roller, developed by experts at the Guerlain Institute, the smoothing and decongesting action of the Sleeping Serum is complete.

Key IngredientsThe Orchid, a rare and precious raw ingredient, is the very essence of the exceptional complete care range Orchidée Impériale. A genuine longevity prodigy, the orchid is the most developed species in the plant kingdom. Convinced of its exceptional potential, Guerlain set up its first research center ever to be devoted to an ingredient: the Orchidarium.
Guerlain Research runs three interrelated and complementary centers:
- The Experimental Garden — Geneva (Switzerland)
- The Basic Research Laboratory — Strasbourg (France)
- The Exploratory Nature Reserve — TianZi (Yunnan, China)
How To UseApply the Sleeping Serum in the evening using the massage technique to optimize the intense, targeted action of this serum:
- Place the fingers horizontally on either side of the face (parallel with the lower jaw).
- Then, lightly tap with fingertips over the face, moving outwards from the center.
- Repeat this gesture moving up to the forehead. Repeat a second time.
- Apply pressure at points around the mouth, on the temples and between the eyebrows to boost cell energy.
Massage technique developed for the L-Roller: massaging along the lines of the lymphatic system has a smoothing effect that decongests the face.
