100 mlIntimate care
Three products make up this range, made for areas that need more gentleness than the rest of the body. The lavender intimate wash cleanses daily without a harsh fragrance. The exfoliant, deliberately very fine-grained, is used only once or twice a week, to lift dead cells without irritating.
The brightening cream goes on next, on clean dry skin: prepped by the exfoliant, it works better. Results are judged over time, not in a few days.
These areas have in common that they are thin and often subject to friction, shaving or tight clothing. The skin thickens and pigments in response, which is why they darken over time. That is why the range is organised as three separate steps rather than a single product: cleanse gently, exfoliate in small doses, then apply a cream that evens out the tone.
In practice, the intimate wash is limited to the daily cleansing of the external area: a small amount, lather, then rinse thoroughly. The exfoliant goes on damp skin, with a gentle massage, only once or twice a week, and never on irritated or freshly shaved skin. The cream then goes on clean, dry skin, morning and evening, massaged in until absorbed.
The cream's results are gradual and are counted in weeks of use, not days. Three things weigh as much as the product itself: switching from shaving to another method if it is the cause, letting the area breathe, and exfoliating regularly but not excessively. Without them, the cream works against friction that starts again every day.
These products are for external use only. If irritation or lasting discomfort occurs, or if you are unsure, stop using them and ask a healthcare professional.

Frequently asked questions
- Are these products for internal use?
- No — external use only, on the skin. They are not applied to mucous membranes.
- How often should the exfoliant be used?
- Once or twice a week at most, before the cream. These areas are thinner and more reactive than the rest of the body.
- Can the intimate wash be used every day?
- Yes, daily use is possible, on the external area only: a small amount, lather, then rinse thoroughly. The internal area needs no product, it balances itself.
- Should the wash be patch-tested first?
- Yes, as a precaution. It contains lavender essential oil, and sensitive skin does not all react the same way: a test in the crook of the elbow lets you check on an arm instead. If irritation occurs, stop using it.
- How long before the brightening cream shows a result?
- It is gradual: count weeks of morning and evening use, not days. The result also depends on what causes the darkening, such as friction or shaving, which needs to be reduced at the same time.
- Can irritated or freshly shaved skin be exfoliated?
- No. The exfoliant does not go on irritated skin or straight after shaving. On these areas, too much exfoliation does more harm than too little.
- When should you see a doctor instead of using a product?
- If you have itching, unusual discharge, burning or a change in odour, it is a doctor you need to see, not a gel. These products are only for caring for the external skin.
