This is a follow up to my previous posts on the Chanel Sublimage collection as the company has been renewing and expanding the range actively over the past a couple of years. As most of my readers would know, I have been regularly using their Sublimage range for over a decade now, and I'm honestly very content to see how Chanel has been improving their skincare range over the past years. And I would nominate Sublimage collection as indeed one of the positive growth and attributes that has been made by the company for their skincare line.

- Chanel Sublimage Moisturisers (L'Extrait de Crème/ La Crème/ Texture Suprême/Fine/ Fluide)
There used to be just one serum in the Sublimage range, and now they offer three different types of serums that you can choose from; L'Essence Lumiere (Ultimate Light-Revealing Concentrate), L'Essence Fondamentale (Ultimate Redefining Concentrate) and L'Extrait. I tried my best to make a comprehensive table for those who wants to try out one of their serums, but if you want more details, please refer to individual reviews that I've written previously. Hope this helps😊.
