Fomulated to target stress and visible signs of ageing caused by external aggressors, the Skinstiut Expert Replenish Squalane Cleansing Oil works to break down oil and dirt on the skin, gently eliminating makeup and SPF without disrupting the lipid barrier. Enriched with green tea, macadamia nut, jojoba, and rosehip oils, it’s suitable for all skin types.

Launch date: September 29th

Renowned Australian brand Alpha-H has launched its first face oil. Formulated with nine botanical oils, it works to balance the skin while restoring firmness and elasticity. Fatty acid-rich sandalwood seed oil meets camellia, watermelon seed, jojoba, squalane, rosehip seed, sea buckthorn, and argan oils to intensely nourish the skin while vitamin F protects the skin barrier and reduces inflammation.

A bar soap but better, the Fenty Skin Cocoa Cleans’r Soothing All-Over Cleansing Bar harnesses the benefits of shea butter, vitamin E, coconut and baobab oils, and cocoa powder to cleanse the face and body without drying your skin out.

A nourishing blend of olive, jojoba, castor, carrot, and soybean oils meet vitamin E and Jurlique’s signature rose extract to create a moisturising oil with a luxurious sensory element.

Designed to be used by itself or in tandem with an eye cream, the Susanne Kaufmann Eye Rescue Serum aims to reduce the appearance of dark circles, lines, and puffiness with the help of baobab pulp, chicory root, and hawthorn flower extracts. Meanwhile, hyaluronic acid helps hydrate dry skin.

Helping you blend smarter not harder, the Mecca Max Camo Colour Correctors come in eight shades, tailored to different skin tones and cocnerns. Pinks, reds, and oranges brighten dark circles; green cancels redness; yellow combats dullness; and purple neutralises warmer tones. The lightweight formulas are easy to blend and work without adding texture to the skin, ensuring a flawless base for foundation.

Created to cater to those with active lifestyles, The Set Co comprises a range of 11 hardworking products designed for use before and after your sweat sessions. Highlights include The Swiss Mist, Muscle Repair Cream, and The SPF 50+.

A cosmeceutical-grade formula, the SkinMTX Night Resurfacing Booster+ works to rejuvenate your complexion while you sleep. A cocktail of five peptides meets three types of AHAs and BHA as well as an advanced complex of hyaluronic acids to slough off dead skin cells, improve elasticity and tone, and promote skin revival.

A physical exfoliant well-suited to those with rough, bumpy skin or keratosis pilaris. Superfine microcrystals provide intense exfoliation while aloe vera and glycerin gently soothe the skin.

The result of 15 years of research, this innovative serum harnesses the benefits of tea sourced from Mauritius to create a unique Adaptive Phytocompound Tea Technology that works to increase the skin’s adaptivity and resilience and provide antioxidant protection. The addition of niacinamide and hyaluronic acid refines skin texture and hydrates, while ceramides strengthen the skin barrier.

Worn after primer and before foundation, this sheet complexion booster provides subtle illumination for a radiant glow, thanks to prismatic pearl technology that refracts and reflects light. Skin-loving ingredients like prickly pear extract, milk thistle, and sodium hyaluronate hydrate and nourish the skin as it works. Available in four shades; Pink Pearl, Taffy Topaz, Honey Citrine, and Bronze Jasper.
