Power of the Oceans to Energise Your Skin

The

50 years of marine intelligence The Oceans are an endless source of energy and an infinitely rich reservoir of bio-active molecules, many of which are yet to be discovered. The THALGO Laboratory has been focusing on this field of choice for over 50 years in order to create, innovate and develop cutting-edge skincare products, in line with men’s and women’s concerns. The THALGOMEN range concentrates the best of this energy and these marine riches to address the specific needs of men’s skin. Sensitised by shaving and subjected to the stress of an active lifestyle in an often hostile environment

(pollution,

air

conditioning,

etc.), men’s skin requires specially adapted care. This is why the THALGO Laboratory has developed a short range of seven expert products for all men who expect performance, convenience and immediate results from the essential steps in their daily routines:

At the heart of the range, an alga with unprecedented energising and regenerating powers: Algue Bleue Vitale® Exclusive to THALGOMEN, this alga draws its strength from Lake Klamath in the western United States. This preserved natural ecosystem, fed by extremely pure waters originating from snowcapped peaks, is situated on a volcano range which enriches it with an unprecedented composition of minerals and trace elements. It is in this unparalleled environment that Aphanizomenon flosaquae, Algue Bleue Vitale®, appeared 3.5 million years ago. Featuring unique regenerating and energising powers, this highly concentrated micro-alga quenches the skin with minerals and trace elements. Rich in key vitamins and amino acids, it delivers an energy boost to the very heart of skin cells. In vitro, Algue Bleue Vitale® has been objectively shown to possess exceptional anti-ageing benefits, encouraging in-depth cellular rejuvenation and a visible smoothing effect on wrinkles and fine lines. Selected for these remarkable properties, Algue Bleue Vitale® reveals its strength in the THALGOMEN skincare range.

Detoxify - Wake Up

CLEANSING

The daily use of traditional soap on the skin gradually damages its protective hydrolipidic film, causing dryness and feelings of discomfort. The skin becomes more vulnerable to external assaults (shaving, cold weather, UV rays, pollution, etc.). For maximum tolerance, the THALGO Laboratory has created Cleansing Gel and Wake-Up Shower gel. Their soap-free formulas cleanse and purify the skin, helping prepare it to fight against all forms of stress inherent to an active lifestyle.

Cleansing Gel detoxifying

This fresh gel has the ability to chase away impurities, toxins and excess sebum in a flash, delivering the energising benefits of Algue Bleue Vitale®. Supplemented with marine bio-active sugars, it leaves a balancing micro-film on the skin for an optimum anti-dryness effect. The results speak for themselves: a feeling of perfectly cleansed, fresh skin and a reinvigorated face. Lather gel in the palm of wet hands, then massage onto face and rinse. 150ml tube.

Wake-Up Shower body & hair

This all-over shampoo rapidly cleanses the body and scalp. Rich in invigorating Algue Bleue Vitale® and enriched with protective marine bio-active sugars, it is the essential ally for those difficult mornings and will help you ‘stay in the competition’ all day, even after exercising. Extremely refreshing, it leaves your body invigorated, with a subtle scent of aquatic notes and no greasy after-feel. Work into a generous lather on wet skin and hair. Rinse thoroughly. Avoid contact with eyes. 200ml tube.

THALGO Tip To help prevent the appearance of unpleasant imperfections, it is essential to cleanse your skin morning and night with the Cleansing Gel. Used daily, it prepares the skin for shaving by improving razor glide.

Protect - Soothe

SHAVING

With every shave, the blade glides on your face about 60 times on average. This repetitive movement, while crucial for a well-groomed appearance, assaults the skin to the point of causing tightness, redness, burning sensations and the appearance of tiny pimples. The skin is made more sensitive and is less protected against the risk of cuts. Because men’s skin deserves as much gentleness as women’s, the THALGO Laboratory has developed two must-have products to keep your skin well protected while shaving.

Shaving Gel protective

.

sensitive skin

This alcohol-free gel, especially formulated for sensitive skin, is the solution for an effective and comfortable shave. Its dense, ultra-soft foam lifts and softens beard hairs, optimising razor glide, while wheat germ phospholipid immediately strengthens the skin barrier for a natural ‘plaster-like’ effect in case of cuts. The face looks perfectly clean and closely shaven. Spread a walnut-sized amount of gel over a wet beard. Shave, then rinse. 100ml aerosol.

After Shave Balm soothing freshness

Three actions concentrated at the core of an alcoholfree balm for optimum effectiveness: marine bio-active sugars combined with wheat germ phospholipid offer a flawless ‘anti-razor burn’ effect. Algue Bleue Vitale® delivers its revitalising benefits like a tiny energy bomb while the chelidonine molecule helps delay new hair growth. Both men who love a close shave and those looking for a well-trimmed beard will enjoy this fresh, lightweight formula with proven soothing results. Apply to perfectly dry skin after each shave. 75ml tube.

THALGO Tip The best time to shave is after your morning shower. The steam, combined with the Cleansing Gel, will help to purify the skin and enlarge the pores for an easier, more pleasant shave.

Revive - Moisturise - Regenerate

SKINCARE

Demanding work meetings, a busy personal life and many social activities… Looking after your skin can sometimes be a real challenge. However, a lack of proper care has consequences: less resilient than women’s skin, men’s skin is prone to age later but much more suddenly. It quickly loses its tone, and wrinkles look deeper and more marked. Prevention is therefore essential to help delay the inevitable onslaught of time. Attentive to men’s concerns, the THALGO Laboratory has focused on skincare essentials, incorporating them into three products that deliver ‘no-frills’ targeted effectiveness.

Intensive Hydrating Cream energising

.

refreshing

A thirst-quenching shot for 8 hours* of skin hydration! This cream, with scientifically-proven effectiveness, contains a cocktail of highly hydrating active ingredients. Upon application, bio-active sugars from Enteromorpha compressa and Chondrus crispus algae leave a balancing micro-film on the skin’s surface while the osmo-protectant complex helps restore cellular balance to maintain optimum moisture levels from morning to night. And, for flawless skin, this fluid cream has been supplemented with invisible microspheres that deliver a lasting matte finish. Apply a dose onto the entire face and neck, after cleansing with the Cleansing Gel. 50ml pump-dispenser bottle.

Regenerating Cream wrinkle control

revitalising

So effective that 100% of men have smoother-looking skin, less pronounced wrinkles and skin that feels regenerated**. Rich in Substance Initiale Marine® and Algue Bleue Vitale®, this cream helps correct the appearance of wrinkles from within through targeted action on the skin’s ‘framework’ matrix. Collagen synthesis is reactivated, and the living environment of youth cells correctly restructured. The skin regains its volume, and wrinkles appear clearly less visible. Apply a dose onto the entire face and neck. 50ml pump-dispenser bottle.

Anti-Fatigue Serum for Eyes  reduces puffiness and dark circles

Specially formulated for the delicate skin around the eyes, this concentrate acts on all parameters of tired-looking eyes. Free of colouring agents and fragrance, its feather-light gel texture contains a high concentration of vitamin PP to help reactivate skin oxygenation for a high-performance decongesting effect. Proven results***: Under-eye puffiness appears reduced. Dark circles appear reduced and clearly less visible in colour. Ideal for those difficult mornings or to help erase the signs of jetlag. Apply a dose to skin around the eyes. 15ml tube.

THALGO Tip To maximise the effectiveness of your daily skincare products, opt for a monthly facial in a THALGO Beauty Centre. In addition, hydrate your skin from within by drinking at least 1.5 L (8-10 glasses) of water a day.

THE SPA EXPERIENCE for men Discover the THALGOMEN Ocean Ritual One hour of ultimate ‘letting-go’ to recharge your batteries and fight against the stress of a fast-paced and active lifestyle… That is exactly what the ThalgoMen Ocean Ritual promises. An invitation to relax, the session begins with the ‘Marine Immersion’, a crucial step to deeply cleanse the skin, followed by an invigorating spray of highly remineralising Reviving Marine Mist. For a regenerating and rejuvenating boost, highly concentrated Algue Bleue Vitale® extracts are then applied. Another highlight is the ‘Ocean Massage’ – a succession of relaxing movements to release tension from the face, neck and trapezius muscles. The result is worth it: visible signs of fatigue seem to vanish; the skin appears replenished, supple and comfortable. Drawing on the relaxing benefits of marine waves, the mind is at peace.

Testimonial: Stéphane, 40 years old: “The voice, the rhythm and the touch of the therapist’s fingertips on my face lulled me into a deep state of relaxation… I lost all sense of time… The massage, combined with the quality of the treatments provided in complete peace and quiet, is something that must be experienced”.
