For over a century, KLYTIA Paris has been at the forefront of luxury skincare, seamlessly blending heritage with innovation. Founded in 1895, the brand has a rich legacy rooted in French beauty expertise, yet it continues to push the boundaries of scientific skincare.
As the pioneer of skin chronobiology, KLYTIA has redefined skincare by working in sync with the body’s circadian rhythms, ensuring that each product delivers targeted benefits at the optimal time of day. Recognised as a finalist in L’Oréal’s prestigious Big Bang competition, KLYTIA is more than just a brand—it’s a movement towards intelligent, time-adapted skincare.
At the helm of this groundbreaking approach is Olga Do Nikitina, CEO of KLYTIA Paris. We sat down with her to explore the science behind chronobiological skincare, why timing is everything when it comes to your beauty routine, and how KLYTIA is setting new standards in luxury and sustainable beauty.
A Timeless Legacy: The Story of KLYTIA
KLYTIA’s story is one of vision, elegance, and scientific innovation.
More than 125 years ago, at 26 Place Vendôme, Paris, Madame Lebrun founded KLYTIA with a revolutionary idea—beauty should be both an art and a science. Not only did she create one of the first luxury skincare brands, but she also established the world’s first beauty institute and aesthetic school, where women from all over the world came to train in professional skincare and massage techniques.
Her clients? European royalty, aristocrats, and cultural elites, including the Infanta of Spain, Queen Marianna Torok of Egypt, and members of the Russian Tsar’s court.
Fast-forward to today, and KLYTIA’s pioneering spirit remains stronger than ever. While staying true to its Parisian heritage, the brand has embraced cutting-edge research in skin chronobiology, making it one of the most exciting names in luxury skincare today.
Why Skincare Should Work with Your Body’s Clock
Ever wondered why some skincare products seem to work better at night? Or why your skin feels more sensitive in the evening? The answer lies in your biological rhythms.
“We spent four years researching alongside leading pharmaceutical doctors at the University of Paris IV, exploring how the skin changes throughout the day,” explains Olga.
The discovery? Game-changing. Your skin doesn’t have the same needs at 8 AM as it does at 8 PM.
Enter Chronosoins®, KLYTIA’s revolutionary skincare system designed to sync with your circadian rhythms:
- Morning – Your skin is in defence mode, fighting off pollution, UV rays, and daily stress. It needs light hydration, antioxidants, and SPF protection.
- Evening – Your skin enters recovery mode, becoming more receptive to deeply nourishing treatments, serums, and active ingredients.
- Night – Your skin’s repair cycle peaks, making this the perfect time for anti-ageing treatments and intensive hydration.
“This isn’t just another beauty trend—it’s the future of skincare,” says Olga.
The Science of Skin Chronobiology: Why Timing Matters
Chronobiology is the study of how biological rhythms affect the skin, and it’s reshaping the beauty industry. Traditional skincare routines assume that skin needs the same care all day long—but science says otherwise.
“At 8 AM, your skin is strong and resistant to environmental stress, but by 10 PM, it becomes more delicate and absorbent. That’s why using the right skincare at the right time can dramatically improve your results,” explains Olga.
KLYTIA’s Chronosoins® range ensures your skincare is working in harmony with your body’s natural processes, delivering:
- Protection in the morning
- Deep repair in the evening
- Regeneration overnight
This science-backed approach is what makes KLYTIA a leader in smart skincare.
