Brand Origins
Global Vision
1985
A Legacy of Science and Nature: The birth of Swiss Control
In 1985, Swiss Control was born in France, a brand committed to creating skincare products that combine science and natural ingredients. Its focus was on using active ingredients such as collagen and elastin, essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. Swiss Control quickly positioned itself in the market for its scientific approach and ability to offer effective treatments for normal, combination, and sensitive skin.
1995
The Transformation to La Forêt
As the brand grew and diversified its products, Swiss Control transformed into La Forêt in 1995. This change not only represented a name shift but also an expansion of its product portfolio. Iconic collections such as La Forêt-Swiss Control, aimed at sensitive skin, and La Forêt-ProtoSerum, focused on anti-aging treatments, were launched. These introductions marked the beginning of a new era for the brand.

1998
The Birth of Glycoderm
In 1998, La Forêt implemented the active ingredient Glycoderm, an intensive liposomal moisturizer that enables deep skin penetration. This innovative ingredient, made from hyaluronic acid and honey, uses liposomes to encapsulate treatments and optimize their absorption. Glycoderm has been a key component in the evolution of the brand's deep hydration products.
Hygroplex HHG: The Hydration Revolution
In 2002, La Forêt introduced Hygroplex HHG, an active ingredient that restores the skin's ability to retain water at the level of Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF). Its success lies in a complex of amino acids that help improve the skin’s water retention capacity, providing long-lasting hydration and repairing the epidermis. This breakthrough became a cornerstone for the brand’s hydrating products.
