Nescens – Anti-ageing cosmeceuticals from the Genolier Clinic

Nescens is a Swiss anti-ageing cosmeceutical brand born more than 30 years ago at the Clinique de Genolier (between Geneva and Lausanne). It stems from the vision of Professor Jacques Proust, a world-renowned physician specialising in the biology of ageing. After a research career in the United States (Gerontology Research Center, Johns Hopkins University) and then at the University of Geneva, he founded the Centre for the Prevention of Ageing in 1998, of which the skincare range is a direct extension.

The concept of cosmeceuticals: halfway between cosmetics and pharmacology. Each formula contains active ingredients at very high concentrations, selected for their scientifically documented effectiveness. Nescens active ingredients are the subject of validated scientific publications and independent clinical studies. A unisex approach, Swiss manufacturing, and formulations built on the synergy of their components for daily use. This is applied anti-ageing science.

The Nescens programme is coherent and documented, organised around the main stages of an anti-ageing routine: cleansing, serums (booster, bio-identical rehydrating, anti-wrinkle), day and night creams, eye contour, masks. Serums are at the heart of Nescens's expertise — biomimetic formulations targeting the biological mechanisms of ageing (cellular senescence, inflammatory stress, loss of firmness). The house regularly receives international awards (Dutch Beauty Awards, GBWA, Pure Beauty Global Awards).
