As the city opens up and we head back out into the world, our skin prepares for the fight against pollutants, blue light, less sleep and ‘me time’, plus other stressors it may not have come up against in months. It only seems appropriate now to indulge in more efficacious products that do more, faster. With proven results in just one month, here are our favourite serum-style treatments to take into this next chapter.
Sisley’s Sisleÿa L'Intégral Anti-Âge La Cure
The brand known for its powerful plant extracts has applied its expertise to a four-week intensive treatment that works to restore youthful radiance using ingredients that act on a mitochondrial level, including ginkgo biloba leaf extract, mariposa blanca rhizome extract, peony extract and longevity sugar complex. Results are visible from the first week onwards, including faded fine lines and restored elasticity.
Chantecaille’s Gold Recovery Intense Concentrate P.M.
This evening-only booster serum is also a month-long solution that’ll kickstart your skin’s restoration processes. Infused with 24k gold and concentrated botanical actives, it targets wrinkles, a loss of firmness and fatigue. As you sleep, proprietary peptides and reparative enzymes help to reduce signs of ageing so significantly that you’ll only require one bottle’s worth.
La Mer’s The Regenerating Serum
La Mer has saved skin affected by burns, disorders and more, so what’s a little stressed skin? The Regenerating Serum is enriched with an enhanced dose of the brand’s heal-all Miracle Broth, combined with active ingredients from the ocean that stimulate the skin’s own collagen production. From a lack of hydration to aggressive irritation, this serum can be used as an SOS treatment or an everyday go-to.
Dior Prestige Light-in-White La Solution Lumiere
While it may seem lightweight, this serum leaves skin velvety to the touch, and contains powerful ingredients that boost natural revitalisation mechanisms, making it less sensitive to damage. White rose helps unlock skin’s natural radiance while a cocktail of actives from sea daffodil to chlorella extract assist in diminishing the look of dark spots, leaving you with a complexion as pure as the driven snow in time to welcome winter.
