5. Clé de Peau Beauté’s Le Serum
Featuring the main motif of the dragon-shaped “xī”, this year’s design signifies intelligence - an intentional nod to the brand’s ground-breaking discovery in Skin Intelligence.

Beijing artist, Xi Wen, recognised in China as the youngest top-class craft artist in Beijing, works mainly with cloisonné, an ancient technique used to hold material in place through intricate metalwork, and is the perfect collaborator to bring the Clé de Peau Beauté’s Lunar New Year packaging to life.

Akin to the symbolism of the Gold Dragon, the Double Serum inspires women to feel confident and strong in her own skin, embracing inner resilience. It acts on the appearance of major skin-ageing, so that the skin is more radiant, firmer, and fine lines are smoothed.
