About Guinot
Guinot is a renowned French skincare brand with a history rooted in medical science, innovation and professional beauty care.
Rene Guinot began working on active ingredients as far back as the late 1920's and early 1930's. Over the following decades he built a repertoire of over 55 biological active ingredients and began experimenting with Ionisation (electrical stimulation) to enhance the effectiveness of these ingredients.
1963 is the beginning of a treatment called Cathiodermie, now known as the iconic Hydradermie.
The brand was built on the belief that healthy, youthful skin must be treated with scientifically proven methods rather than cosmetic trends. This philosophy set Guinot apart from the beginning and established it as a pioneer in results-driven skincare.
In 1972 a major turning point in the brand’s history came when Dr Jean-Daniel Mondin, a young skin Doctor, took over Guinot. Under his leadership, the brand strengthened its medical approach to beauty and developed advanced treatment technologies that bridged the gap between traditional facials and aesthetic medicine. Guinot became known for creating patented treatment methods designed to work at a cellular level while remaining non-invasive and safe for the skin.
Hydradermie, one of Guinot's most significant innovations, became a groundbreaking treatment that uses gentle ionisation to enhance the penetration of active ingredients into the skin. This technology transformed professional facial treatments and remains a cornerstone of Guinot's identity today.
Over the years, the brand has continued to lead the industry with advanced anti-ageing solutions, including the Longue Vie and Age Logic ranges, which focus on supporting cellular regeneration and skin longevity.
Today, Guinot is recognised as one of the world’s leading professional skincare brands, available exclusively through qualified beauty therapists in salons and spas across more than 70 countries. Its commitment to scientific research, professional expertise and personalised skincare continues to define the Guinot legacy.
