3 TOP EYE CREAMS
I spy… three creams to plump and perk up the delicate skin around your eyes.
1. Gatineau Collagene Expert Eye Cream
Clinically proven to reduce dark circles, improve puffiness, and blur dehydration and expression lines. Dot it on and let this weightless cream work its magic. (launching in September)
2. YEARNSKIN Hydra Glow Eye Cream
A lifesaver for when you’ve stayed up way too late, scrolling… This lightweight, fast-absorbing eye cream is infused with powerful peptides, nourishing plant extracts, and illuminating minerals to refresh tired eyes, reduce puffiness, diminish fine lines and restore radiance.
3. Institut Esthederm Intensive Retinol Eye Lifting Balm
With stabilised retinol to accelerate cell renewal and stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis, biomimetic peptide and caffeine to address dark circles and puffiness, and cellular water technology for optimising cell vitality, this balmy eye cream packs a real punch.
Lashing out
Who needs a lash serum when you can have a mascara with lash-strengthening and -lengthening benefits built right in? This innovative formulation repairs damage, reduces fall-out and promotes regrowth for naturally longer, fuller lashes. Combine that with a volumising, high-definition lash look, and you’ve got a new ride-or-die on your hands. RVB Lab Give Me More Mascara.
Here comes the sun
New from iconic Brazilian brand Sol de Janeiro: a featherlight body lotion that smells like summer! Think creamy notes of pistachio, with a hint of salted caramel, jasmine petals and vanilla – fans of the brand will instantly recognise the iconic scent of Cheirosa 62. It delivers 24-hour moisture, with sugar cane to actively increase surface hydration, a blend of multi-weight hyaluronic acids that draw moisture deep into the skin’s layers, antioxidant-loaded cactus pear extract, and vitamin-rich Brazilian nut oil. Sol de Janeiro Body Badalada Vitamin-Infused Lotion.
Tickled pink
The NUXE hair collection is so popular that the brand is extending the range. There are two new repairing and protective products to try, both infused with the range’s signature ingredient: fermented pink camellia oil, renowned for its nourishing benefits. The first is a rich, creamy hair mask that restores elasticity, and makes hair silky and easy to detangle. Fragranced with irresistible notes of orange blossom, magnolia and vanilla, it’s a sensory experience. The second is a light, milky mist that makes detangling easier and protects hair from heated appliances up to 230°C. Enriched with quinoa extract, the formulation infuses hair with moisture, and adds shine and softness. NUXE Le Baume Intensive Repair Hair Mask, and Le Lait Detangling Leave-In Hair Milk.
Super serum
MartiDerm Ultimate Antiox Serum is an advanced multi-blend antioxidant formula that defends against environmental stressors while restoring radiance to dull or uneven skin,’ says dermatologist Dr Ian Webster of Dermastore. ‘Its concentrated formula helps restore a smooth, radiant and even-looking complexion.’ There is a host of cutting-edge ingredients at work here, delivering hydration and luminosity, and restoring firmness and suppleness. MartiDerm Ultimate Antiox Serum available at Dermastore.
Cherry-picked
Elemis’s best-selling cleanser is now available with a new fragrance. Juicy black cherry meets warm vanilla and almond in this iconic makeup-melting balm. The formulation features a trio of nourishing oils – starflower oil, elderberry seed oil and Optimega (a blend of wheatgerm and oat oils) – alongside Padina pavonica, a type of moisture-boosting algae. It goes from a balm to an oil when you massage it into your skin, then transforms into a hydrating milk upon contact with water. Or use it as a nourishing mask once a week. Elemis Pro-Collagen Black Cherry Cleansing Balm.
