CHANEL has launched the ÉCLAT PREMIER Bright Silky Cream, a refillable moisturizer priced at $230 (US) and £170 (UK). It launched first in Asia in April 2026 and is now available in the US and UK, where chanel.com labels it "New." According to CHANEL, the cream brightens, unifies and soothes the skin, targeting the look of dark spots, post-acne marks and redness. The brand says it builds on more than 30 years of clinical research into both preventing and correcting the look of dark spots, and that it is designed to preserve and revive the complexion's first radiance.

What's New
The key active in the formula is TXC, a molecule built on patented technology exclusive to CHANEL. It is patented in Europe, Japan and the US, and appears on the ingredient list as cetyl tranexamate HCl. According to CHANEL, TXC targets 8 factors behind the appearance of hyperpigmentation, including pigmentation linked to aging, sun exposure and acne.
CHANEL says it tested the formula using 3D skin bioprinting technology. According to the brand, the results showed efficacy on all three dimensions of dark spots: intensity, size and shape.
The formula also contains two supporting ingredients:
- Vitamin E, which CHANEL says boosts radiance.
- Allantoin, which according to the brand calms the look of redness and smooths roughness.
The ingredient list also includes squalane and niacinamide. According to CHANEL, up to 80% of the formula is naturally derived (ISO 16128).
What the Brand Says
CHANEL says redness looks reduced right after application. In clinical testing on 34 women over 8 weeks, the brand reports:
- A complexion that looks 41% more radiant and 3x more even
- The appearance of redness reduced by 50%
- Skin that feels 82% more comfortable (self-assessment)
- Hydration that lasts up to 8 hours (instrumental evaluation of 15 people)
Good to know: the formula contains parfum (fragrance). CHANEL labels the cream suitable for sensitive skin, but people whose skin reacts to fragrance may want to patch test first.
How to Apply
CHANEL recommends using the cream morning and evening on the face and neck:
- Apply after the ÉCLAT PREMIER Bright Treatment Serum.
- Dot the cream onto each cheek, the forehead and the chin.
- Smooth it from the center of the face outward, then down onto the neck.
- For extra nourishment, finish with the ÉCLAT PREMIER Bright 3-in-1 Oil.
