PAYOT Supreme Micro-Pearl Youth Serum 30ml (Formerly Jeunesse Le Serum)

Bottled radiance. Payot Supreme Micro-Pearl Youth Serum is a luxurious anti-ageing concentrate suspended with shimmering micro-pearls that burst on contact with the skin, releasing a potent dose of youth-restoring actives exactly where you need them.

Developed by Payot's Parisian laboratories, this featherlight serum pairs high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, brown algae extract and carnosine, a patented antioxidant, to plump fine lines, firm slackening contours and restore a luminous, well-rested glow. Vitamin C brightens, orchid and magnolia extracts calm inflammation, and the encapsulated micro-pearls deliver each ingredient at peak potency.

The result? Skin that looks visibly smoother, firmer and more radiant from the very first application. With daily use, fine lines soften, firmness rebuilds and complexion uniformity improves week on week.

A non-negotiable for skin in its prime, and skin that wants to stay there.

Made in France. Suitable for all skin types. 30ml.

Active key ingredients

High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid — a heavyweight humectant that holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water. It floods the skin with deep, plumping hydration, softening the appearance of fine dehydration lines and restoring bounce.

Brown Algae Extract — a marine active prized for its volumising and firming properties. It works on deeper-set wrinkles, helping skin look more sculpted and resilient.

Carnosine — Payot's patented antioxidant. It neutralises free radicals from pollution and UV exposure, helping prevent the visible cellular ageing that leads to dullness and slackening.

Vitamin C — a brightening icon. It boosts radiance, fades the appearance of dark spots and supports an overall more even, luminous complexion.

Orchid & Magnolia Bark Extracts — botanical anti-inflammatories that calm micro-inflammation in the skin, a hidden driver of premature ageing.

Meadowfoam Seed Oil & Shea Butter — nourishing lipids that comfort the skin barrier and lock in the serum's hydrating actives.

FAQs

Q: When should I start using an anti-ageing serum like this?
A: Most skincare professionals recommend introducing a targeted anti-ageing serum from your late twenties onwards, when the skin's natural collagen and elastin production starts to slow. It's never too early to invest in prevention — and never too late to start.

Q: What does it actually feel like on the skin?
A: Lightweight, silky and fast-absorbing. The micro-pearls dissolve under the fingertips into a satin-fluid texture that sinks in with no tackiness or residue.

Q: Can I use it morning and night?
A: Yes — it's designed for both AM and PM use. In the morning, follow with sunscreen for daytime antioxidant protection. At night, layer under your moisturiser or sleep mask for deeper repair.

Q: Can I use it with retinol or vitamin A products?
A: Yes. Apply this serum first to clean skin, allow to absorb, then layer your retinol on top. The hydration and antioxidant support actually pairs beautifully with active retinol routines.

Q: Is it safe for sensitive skin?
A: It's formulated to be well tolerated across skin types, including sensitive. As always, patch test on the inner forearm before first use, and check the full INCI for any personal allergens.

Q: How long does the 30ml bottle last?
A: With twice-daily use, expect around 2 to 3 months from a single bottle.

Q: Can I use it on my neck and décolletage?
A: Absolutely — and we recommend it. The neck and décolletage show signs of ageing just as quickly as the face and benefit equally from the actives in this formula.

Step 1. Cleanse and tone your skin as usual, leaving it slightly damp before application.

Step 2. Dispense 2 to 3 drops of the serum onto your fingertips. The micro-pearls will dissolve as you press them between your fingers.

Step 3. Press and gently massage the serum into your face, neck and décolletage using upward, sweeping motions.

Step 4. Allow 30 seconds for the serum to fully absorb.

Step 5. Follow with your eye cream and moisturiser. In the morning, finish with SPF 30 or higher.

Use morning and evening for best results. For mature or particularly dry skin, layer underneath a richer night cream at bedtime.

Skin type: Suitable for all skin types — including dry, normal, combination and oily.

Best for: Mature skin, skin showing the first signs of ageing, dull or uneven complexions, anyone wanting to firm and hydrate.

Concerns addressed: Fine lines and wrinkles, loss of firmness, dullness, dehydration, uneven skin tone and dark spots.

Sensitivity: Generally well tolerated by sensitive skin. Always patch test before first use and refer to the full ingredient list for any known personal allergens.
