Brand story

About clé de peau

Clé de Peau was founded in Japan in 1982 by Shiseido, the Tokyo beauty company established in 1872. The name means 'key to the skin' in French, reflecting the brand's focus on unlocking skin's natural radiance.

In 1996 the brand was renamed Clé de Peau Beauté and began expanding globally, becoming one of Shiseido's leading prestige brands. Shiseido has continued to invest in the brand to strengthen its place in the high-prestige market.

The brand combines Shiseido's skin science with luxurious textures and refined design. In our edit, the Softening Cleansing Foam gives a gentle, creamy cleanse, the Hydro-Softening Lotion hydrates and softens skin, and Le Sérum is the brand's signature serum, used as a first step to prepare skin for the rest of the routine.

For shoppers, cleanse with the foam, apply Le Sérum to clean skin, then pat in the Hydro-Softening Lotion, followed by your moisturiser and sunscreen in the morning. The travel sizes are perfect for trying the ritual or taking a little luxury with you on holiday. A little product goes a long way, so each bottle lasts well. Clé de Peau Beauté is also a beautiful gift for someone who loves Japanese luxury skincare.
