Renewal Ultime Multi-Acid Resurfacing Cleanser
For decades, GATINEAU has been at the forefront of advanced skincare innovation, blending cutting-edge formulations with effortless Parisian elegance. Renowned for sophisticated, results-driven skincare designed to meet the evolving needs of women’s skin, the brand’s expertise in exfoliation and resurfacing has remained central to its philosophy since the very beginning.
Today, that expertise continues with the launch of Renewal Ultime Multi Acid Resurfacing Cleanser, the first in a line of new skincare launches under the Renewal Ultime range, a modern expression of Jeanne GATINEAU’S pioneering vision for intelligent skin renewal.
A Heritage of Skincare Innovation
Long before exfoliation became the skincare obsession it is today, Jeanne GATINEAU was rewriting the rules. In an era dominated by harsh scrubs and aggressive formulas, she took a radically different approach, believing skin should be refined, never stripped.
While the beauty industry focused on abrasion, she pioneered one of the first exfoliators without granules, introducing a new generation of skin renewal that worked intelligently with the skin rather than against it. Decades ahead of the industry, she recognised the transformative power of fruit acids and enzymatic exfoliation long before they became mainstream skincare essentials. Her philosophy was simple yet revolutionary: effective exfoliation should promote skin renewal, strengthen radiance, refine texture, and support healthy-looking skin without compromising comfort. That advanced thinking laid the foundation for GATINEAU’S expertise in resurfacing and renewal and today, that pioneering spirit lives on with the first launch in the next generation of Renewal Ultime skincare: Renewal Ultime Multi Acid Resurfacing Cleanser. This is much more than just a cleanser; this is where intelligent cleansing meets advanced exfoliation.
A new standard in skin renewal
Engineered for advanced skin renewal, Renewal Ultime Multi-Acid Resurfacing Cleanser delivers intelligent resurfacing through science-led multi-acid technology without harsh scrubs or aggressive stripping. At the core of the formula is a carefully calibrated trio of Alpha Hydroxy Acids (Glycolic, Mandelic and Lactic Acids) selected not only for their individual benefits, but for the way they work together across different layers of the skin; because when it comes to acids, size changes everything.
The larger molecular structure of Mandelic Acid allows it to penetrate slowly and evenly, delivering progressive exfoliation with a gentler touch. Lactic Acid brings a dual-action effect, refining the skin while helping to draw in and retain moisture, leaving skin softer, smoother, and visibly healthier-looking. Then comes Glycolic Acid, the smallest and most active of the trio, known for its ability to penetrate deeper into the upper layers of the skin to boost cellular renewal, visibly boost radiance and refine texture. Together, they create a layered exfoliation system that works progressively rather than aggressively instead of overwhelming the skin with a single exfoliating pathway,
Complementing the fruit acids, Pomegranate enzymes provide an additional layer of gentle enzymatic exfoliation, helping to break down surface build-up in a soft, controlled way, meanwhile, Hibiscus Flower Acids work in synergy with the fruit acids to encourage natural skin renewal while helping to maintain hydration and comfort. This botanical support ensures that as the skin is being resurfaced, the barrier remains balanced, supple, and well-hydrated.
Together, these actives create a multi-layered system: fruit acids initiate exfoliation, while enzymes and botanical acids amplify and regulate the process delivering controlled resurfacing with a visibly smoother finish.
The finishing touch is a triple oil complex of Wheatgerm, Oat, and Jojoba Oils, delivering optimal lipid nourishment to support and strengthen the skin barrier while keeping skin feeling fresh, balanced, and comfortable never stripped or tight like resurfacing cleansers.
As water is added, the formula transforms into an incredibly soft, cloud-like foam with a rich, cushiony lather that glides effortlessly across the skin, turning cleansing into a genuinely indulgent experience. Silky, airy, and cocooning, the foam lifts away every trace of makeup, dirt, and SPF while respecting the skin barrier.
The result is far beyond your everyday cleanse; it’s next-generation resurfacing that works on an intelligent level to leave skin looking clearer, brighter, smoother, and visibly more refined after every single use. Fresh-faced, polished, and lit-from-within, skin is left feeling as good as it looks.
