Lancôme has collaborated with the highly anticipated The Devil Wears Prada 2 film to debut Absolue Longevity MD — a dermatologist-validated skincare range powered by Mitopure.
Mitopure is a well-known oral supplement ingredient for longevity that has been adapted for topical use. Thus, the goal of the Lancôme x The Devil Wears Prada 2 Absolue Longevity MD is to visibly reduce signs of aging and improve firmness, suppleness, radiance, the appearance of fine lines, and smoothness across different life stages.
The Absolue Longevity MD collection was provided to the film's production and is seamlessly integrated into the story, with a promotional campaign titled The Absolue Impossible Task. This spot features actors Pauline Chalamet and Caleb Hearon, who "are reprising their film characters as they take on Miranda Priestly's 'impossible task' to acquire an unreleased skincare line." Lancôme offers an exclusive pre-sale opportunity for loyalty members.
