SAYING NO TO CELLOPHANE

In order to help include people with visual disability and thus help their personal autonomy, Germaine de Capuccini uses Braille on the packaging of its retail products. In fact, we were the very first skincare to do so, even before the pharmaceutical industry caught on.
The Science behind Germaine De Capuccini
Only the highest quality ingredients are used in Germaine De Capuccini products to deliver exceptional results. With a team of over 300 professionals working in an advanced laboratory in Europe, each product and treatment is subject to rigorous effectiveness testing to ensure the high product standards and results are met.
The latest scientific discovery developed by Germaine De Capuccini contains Epigenol and is a first of its kind. Available in Timexpert SRNS Range, this high-performing ingredient revitalizes the youthfulness proteins (which are switched off when ageing begins). The skin results after one single application include firmer, more hydrated, and less visible wrinkles. Germaine De Capuccini prides itself on this type of product advancement and has clients experiencing clinically proven results.
