Ultra-effective and super-gentle exfoliants, breakthrough serums and creams: the new, best-performing skincare products
Eye Contour Cream Supreme , Clé de Peau Beauté , counteracts the effects of the progressive age-related decrease in actin fibers , the true pillars of epidermal cells that help give structure to the skin, with a hyperconcentrationof Lempuyang extract , while Citrus Unshiu peel extract brightens and evens out the periocular complexion, and the Golden Botanical Extract, trademark of the brand, is a phenomenal skin regenerator, for a comprehensive action on wrinkles , bags , sagging eyelids and dark circles . La Prairie researchershave discovered that effective communication between cells and ligaments in the hypodermis is essential for preserving skin definition. Fat cells build ligaments and, in turn, ligaments regulate the generation of new cells. As we age, ligaments weaken. Skin Caviar Eye Lift , thanks to the formula with two types of caviar, plus theexclusive cellular complexTM, redensifies the dermal structure, strengthening the vertical pillars and reactivating the communication between ligament and cell, acting on all periocular blemishes.
Starting from the discovery that cells emit biophotons, and that this function also decreases dramatically with age, Guerlain has selected a particular type of orchid , the Gold Nobile native to the Himalayas, whose extract helps to restore the emission of biophotons of an aged cell to the level of that of a young cell. Combined with a peptide with a smoothing and anti-dyschromia effect , with a peptide with an effect comparable to Botox and with vitamin C that acts on pigmentation at various levels, the extract protects the structure of cellular DNA, stimulates cellular metabolism, boosts the precursor of collagen and minimizes dischromia. The formula, enriched with white micropearls and 24-carat gold particles for extra luminosity, is available in a serum and cream version , Orchidée Impériale Gold Nobile Serum and Orchidée Impériale Gold Nobile Cream .
Ideal for oily or combination skin , the new Moisturizing Fresh Cream balances and firms the skin, minimising dilated pores, wrinkles and expression lines thanks to the Miracle Broth trademark of La Mer , a mix of vitamins , minerals and other nutrients left to ferment for 3, 4 months during which it is exposed to light and sound waves which activate its regenerating potential, whichlime tea is added, a formidable antioxidant that protects the skin from pollution. Not only does microcirculation drastically reduce after the age of 60, negatively impacting the nourishment and oxygenation of the skin: a Shiseido study has detected a decrease in the saturation of hemoglobin in the oxygen present in the blood, causing its color to become dark red, negatively impacting the brightness and transparency of the skin. Meanwhile, the loss and weakening of muscle mass visibly affects the structure of the face, which loses the definition of the contour. For Vital Perfection Concentrated Supreme Cream , the Japanese brand has selected a particular safflower extract , Mogami safflower , to create a highly concentrated patented active ingredient that helps improve the quality of microcirculation and contributes to increasing the firmness of the skin. Mogami safflower , which blooms for only one week a year, in July, is used in traditional pharmacopoeia for its antioxidant and stimulating properties . While the extract of another medicinal plant stimulates the activity of the contractile structures, counteracting sagging skin, for a decidedly lifting and redensifying effect. Crème Riche, Tata Harper , from Beautyaholic Shop , hydrates, regenerates, plumps the skin thanks to a mix of barley leaf juice , giant arundinaria and caesalpinia spinosa extract , linoleic acid and avocado proteins . The Colombian pioneer of clean and green cosmetics is also a convinced supporter of the more is more philosophy: the formulas of her luxury plant-based skincare are particularly rich, and contain many components partly grown (but all mixed together) on her farm in Vermont.
Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Hydration Revival Cleanser transformsfrom a cream to a foam to a nourishing milk on contact with the skin, thanks to a hydrating and smoothing formula based on hyaluronic acid and a peptide complex. Paula’s Choice ‘s 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant improves skin texture, reduces fine lines and brightens the complexion . Due to its high molecular weight, mandelic acid penetrates the skin slowly, reducing the risk of irritation, while lactic acid also provides a hydration boost and stimulates the production of ceramides . Yarrow extract improves communication between the skin’s chemical messengers (key neuropeptides) responsible for regular cell renewal, while a bio-fermented antioxidant blend of cherry blossom , chocolate vine and bayberry supports the microbiome and skin barrier , evening out the complexion and reducing redness. In 30 seconds of daily application, Caudalie Micro Peeling Instant Eclat brightens and smoothes the skin thanks to a mix of mandelic acid , AHA and grape water (hydrating and soothing).
Nuxuriance Ultra la crème anti aging global , Nuxe , contains hyaluronic acid obtained through biofermentation and extracts of alfalfa and hemerocallis fulva, which act as a booster of epidermal renewal as a more effective and less irritating alternative to retinol. All ingredients are traceable through the DNA Gensee agency, which certifies their safety, quality and sustainability in environmental terms. Sensorially gratifying as per the brand’s tradition, the cream has a delicate scent of orange blossom, raspberry and sandalwood. Already starting from the age of 25, the physiological production of collagen begins to decrease: Blue Peptides Uplift Cream SPF30 , Biotherm , contains two peptides that are inspired by signal peptides, those skin messengers that put various cells of the dermis in communication with each other to promote the synthesis of new collagen fibers. The result? An increase in skin density (and a consequent minimization of wrinkles).
