Estée Lauder's new skincare retail concept, the Skin Longevity Institute, recently opened its doors in Hainan, welcoming shoppers into a destination where luxury meets science. At these concept sites, prestige consumers in China are supported with skin analysis technology and premium facial treatments. "The concept of longevity as the new luxury reflects a growing trend where consumers, increasingly focused on living longer and healthier lives, are seeking brands that offer not only exceptional products but also immersive luxury service experiences," Justin Boxford, Estée Lauder’s global brand president, told WWD.
This retail concept centered on skin longevity highlights Estée Lauder’s 15 years of research on sirtuin proteins, which led to the development of the exclusive Sirtivity-LP technology featured in Re-Nutriv products.
