From facials to body care, Repêchage has been delivering premium skincare solutions loved by patients and professionals for over 40 years. With 11 facials designed for various skin types and concerns, available in over 50 countries, Repêchage stands out for its commitment to quality and consistency. “Everything is pre-measured, sanitary, and only opened at the time of application. That is our legacy. That’s what makes Repêchage different from any other brand,” says CEO and Founder Lydia Sarfati.
It’s all in the family
Repêchage was first conceived in 1980 when Lydia Sarfati developed the Four-Layer Facial—a protocol-based treatment that allowed her aestheticians to perform consistently while she was on maternity leave with her one-year-old daughter, Shiri Sarfati. Today, Shiri helps Lydia run the business alongside Lydia’s husband and Shiri’s father, David Sarfati. Together, the family warmly welcomes clients into their world.
“Our clients really become part of our family. It really is unique. How many companies today can say that they have had clients since day one in the early 80s and are still super successful,” says Shiri.
Education-based
Lydia has long put in the work to uplift the industry and advance education, believing that when the industry is knowledgeable, we all win. “When you have an educated professional, and today an educated consumer, everyone can understand how to take care of their skin better,” says Shiri.
“There is luxury in consistency”
This quote from Lydia encapsulates Repêchage’s mission. Repechage takes the guesswork out of whether you’ll get a quality facial.
Shiri equates it to the idea of an Hermes bag, and that if one stitch is missing, it’s not an Hermes bag anymore. “The same is true with a facial treatment when you’re creating a luxury service. It needs to be consistent whether you get that facial treatment in New York, Tokyo, Mexico City or Mumbai,” she says. Getting the same exact results every time is what creates luxury.
The seaweed difference
Polish-born Lydia Sarfati was determined to bridge the European concept of spa culture with American ingenuity and a fast-paced lifestyle. If you can’t soak in the thermal waters of Europe, you can still enjoy the therapeutic benefits of seaweed at home.
Repêchage’s products originate off the coast of Maine, where the brand conducts its own seaweed extraction to create its proprietary seaweed extract—the cornerstone of all its treatments. The formulas behind popular products like C-Serum ($76), a 2024 NewBeauty Readers’ Choice Award winner, are designed to replicate and support the facial experience at home. This vitamin- and mineral-rich serum helps replenish moisture, smooth, brighten, and even skin tone, leaving your skin with a radiant glow.
Body care
“We are strong believers that skin doesn’t end at your chin,” says Lydia. Beyond the brand’s iconic facials, they also offer body treatments and products. “We start with our treatments, and from our treatments, we develop at-home care products that help support the professional and the client experience at home,” she explains. “Our body care is really developing because we’ve had this moment of creating this entire collection that focuses on body and wellness.”
Conclusion:
Repêchage has built a reputation on its commitment to quality and consistency, making it a trusted brand in the industry. With its family-based approach, education-focused ethos, and innovative seaweed-based products, Repêchage continues to stand out in the world of skincare.
