Franks has launched new skin care brand Payot, founded by Nadia Payot, the first female doctor of her generation, in 1913. A woman who put her knowledge and medical expertise to work for the sake of women’s beauty, she created the first avant-garde beauty product inspired by plant fragrances in 1927.

Payot makes beauty accessible to today’s women with products for the face and body, including sun and men care. The brand’s most iconic product is Pâte Grise, with its secret formula by Payot, which works when sleeping to accelerate the maturation of minor subcutaneous spots.

Payot’s Gommage Amande is an exfoliating cream with pistachio and sweet almond extracts. Brimming with micro-particles, this scrub is formulated to deliver exfoliating action.

Payot is a dermosensory brand, the result of the alchemy between medical and scientific fundamentals, with emphasis on safety and effectiveness for visible results. It combines optimal effectiveness with absolute pleasure of use, boasting a dermosensory vision of beauty and true cosmetic know-how.

The full range of Payot products is available at Franks Plaza and The Point, Sliema, Bay Street, St Julian’s and Republic Street, Valletta. For more information, call 2388 2300.
