Frequently asked questions

ORÉLIEN is a luxury, hydration-focused skincare brand created for real, everyday skin:: especially skin that feels dull, dehydrated, stressed, or sensitive. Our routines are designed to be gentle, glow-boosting, and barrier-supporting, so you can fall back in love with your skin.

Most of our products are formulated to be suitable for All skin types:  normal, dry, combination, and sensitive skin. Each product page includes a “Targets” and “Suited To” section so you can easily see if it’s a good match for your skin type and concerns.

If your skin is extremely reactive or you’re unsure, we always recommend a patch test first.

Many of our formulas are vegan or vegetarian-friendly, and we avoid unnecessary animal-derived ingredients wherever possible. Some products may contain ingredients like collagen, which are not vegan.

We’re working to clearly mark vegan / vegetarian products on our product pages so you can choose according to your preferences.

No. ORÉLIEN  does not test on animals, and we do not work with manufacturers that conduct animal testing.

Our products are made in partnership with reputable, high-quality manufacturers that meet strict standards for safety and quality. We only work with partners we trust to deliver consistent, reliable formulations.

A simple guideline is:

Toner – e.g., Serelle Soothing Toner

Serum(s) – e.g., ÉCLAT Hyaluronic Acid Serum, Celestial Vitamin Serum

Eye Care – e.g., Peptide Reverie Eye Crème Gel

Moisturizer – e.g., Rosy Melon Hydration
