The heart of Algologie's signature active ingredients: ALGO 4® AND SEAWATER

ALGO 4®: Algologie's patented Bio-Stimulating Marine Complex

The ALGO 4® complex, integrated into Algologie skin care products, embodies the alliance of science and the sea to offer a global solution for the skin. A veritable shot of cellular energy, ALGO 4® is formulated with 4 exclusive, extremophilic marine active ingredients: Undaria pinnatifida stem cells (or brown macro-algae gametophytes), Porphyridium cruentum (red micro-algae), sea fennel stem cells and blue thistle stem cells.

This patented, bio-mimetic complex targets the skin's essential needs by boosting the skin's cellular activities: anti-oxidants + anti-pollution + anti-aging.

Gulf Stream Seawater: Intense Remineralization

Pure Gulf Stream seawater, drawn from the waters off our Laboratoires, is of rare purity and incomparably rich in minerals: 96 minerals and trace elements. Perfectly assimilated by the skin, it is a key ingredient in Algologie formulas to revitalize and balance the skin. It prepares the epidermis to receive skincare treatments by recharging its mineral reserves, reinforcing its natural barrier and adding a touch of freshness.

Rivage's DUO of anti-wrinkle STARS: blue sea immortelle and laminaria digitata

Harvested in Brittany,Sea Immortelle improves cellular communication and protection, stimulating natural collagen synthesis to plump, firm and reinforce skin elasticity.

Obtained through marine biotechnology, we use Exopolysaccharide from Laminaria digitata, a brown algae, which stimulates the skin's own production of hyaluronic acid. It visibly reduces the volume, circumference and depth of wrinkles.

specific targeted active ingredients

For each of our Rivage skincare routines, we combine Algologie signature active ingredients and Rivage active ingredients with specific active ingredients to target each problem and achieve immediately visible results.

1. L'Élixir du Rivage : the lifting and tightening booster serum

Hyaluronic acid: Smoothing

Obtained through biotechnology and derived from wheat, high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid moisturizes and smoothes skin. Known for its ability to retain water, this ingredient helps keep skin soft and plump.

Chondrus Crispus: Instant tightening effect

Chondrus crispus, a red algae, creates an invisible, ultra-light film on the skin for an instant tightening effect. This visible lifting effect is due to its film-forming structure, which acts like a tight mesh on the superficial layers of the epidermis, providing a smooth, firmed appearance.

2. La Crème du Rivage : firming & lifting radiance cream

Alaria Esculenta: Firming and protecting collagen fibers

Alaria Esculenta, a brown algae, stimulates collagen production and protects elastin fibers against the effects of oxidative stress. It acts on skin firmness by reducing cutaneous slackening, giving a visibly more toned, rejuvenated appearance.

3. Le Baume du Rivage : the resurfacing night balm

AHA/BHA Complex: Resurfacing

This complex of exfoliating acids works overnight to promote cell renewal. AHAs (alpha-hydroxy acids) exfoliate the skin's surface, improving radiance and evenness, while BHAs (beta-hydroxy acids) penetrate deeper into pores, helping to reduce impurities. Together, they offer complete exfoliation, targeting both the surface and deeper layers of the skin.

4. Le Regard du Rivage : Eye contour filler

Chlorella: Anti-puffiness & Dark circles

This green microalgae, rich in peptides and amino acids, stimulates collagen production and strengthens skin elasticity around the eyes. It works by reducing the visibility of dark circles and diminishing crow's feet wrinkles for a more youthful, luminous look.

We hope this overview of Rivage active ingredients will give you a better understanding of our skin care products and their benefits, and don't forget: the sea holds the secrets to your skin's youth!
