Once an essential part of our ancestors’ beauty routine, the Pier Augé brand is making a comeback in your beauty routine.
Originally created to address his wife’s sensitive skin issues, Pier Augé is a French cosmetics brand founded in 1961 by Pier Augé, a pharmacist and biologist with a passion for human skin. He is renowned for formulating his products according to the principle that ‘the skin has all the elements it needs; you just have to give it the ones it recognises’.
The pioneering beauty chemist
Pier Augé uses an exclusive base called Base Dergyl: a formula that replicates the composition of the skin (proteins, lipids, hydration, vitamins) to respect and restore the skin’s natural equilibrium.The formulas are designed to suit sensitive skin, and are effective without being harsh. The products are made in France, and the brand is distributed in pharmacies, beauty salons and perfumeries.
In 1982, he incorporated DNA-HP into his formulas for the first time. Derived from wild salmon milt, which is very similar to human DNA, it is an antioxidant that regenerates and revitalises while healing the skin. It also absorbs UV rays, which contribute to skin ageing.
This was an innovative concept, especially when we now know that celebrities are succumbing to salmon sperm injections.
Expertise in skin care
The oil is a gentle cleansing oil that respects the skin by removing impurities from everyday life. It removes make-up and leaves the complexion soft and radiant without any greasy finish. This step is an essential part of your daily Pier Augé routine.
Since 1999, the best-selling Douce Aura 2-in-1 skincare mask has been essential for radiant skin. Its creamy texture feels as soft as a cloud on the skin. This moisturising, feel-good effect works on all skin types, even the most sensitive.
As its name suggests, Complétude accompanies your beauty routine and is composed of plant extracts. The tri-active cream is designed to preserve the skin’s youthfulness, firmness and radiance. Its formula is composed of DNA-HP and Peptide 4, which revitalises skin cells and stimulates the production of collagen already present in the skin.
Our opinion on the event
The event took place in a very chic duplex in Paris’s 16th arrondissement, where guests could discover Pier Augé’s iconic products as well as new additions to the range. It was a relaxing venue where guests could enjoy a massage, test products and drink detox beverages that were the perfect accompaniment to our treatments. Beauty comes through the skin, but also through the products we consume.
We recommend Pier Augé products for their long-lasting effects and ability to improve your beauty routine. The products are high quality, scientifically proven and will soon be available in pharmacies.
