2 / 11Prevage Progressive Renewal Treatment ($362) If you’ve always wanted to test out at-home chemical peels but are wary of the strength of over-the-counter formulas, look no further. Made specifically with people like you in mind, this four-week supply comes in four seven-day ampoules that increase in strength. This means that you begin this treatment programme with gentle concentrations of AHA, PHA and Prevage’s signature antioxidant Idebenone. With each passing week, the concentration increases, allowing for optimal benefits while enabling your skin to “get used” to the resurfacing power of AHA and PHA. We also like that it combines AHA and PHA for a synergistic effect. Plus, PHA essentially has similar effects as AHA except they are of a larger molecule so they are gradually absorbed into the skin and have a gentler action that’s perfect for irritation-prone skin.

3 / 11Jo Malone London Wild Flower & Weeds Collection ($112 for 30ml each) Inspired by the rustic beauty of diverse plants left to grow freely in the wild, this limited collection of five scents by Jo Malone are also beautifully painted in their key ingredients. Hemlock & Bergamot is airy and fresh as it is also accompanied by heliotrope, mimosa and cucumber; Cade & Cedarwood is warm and sensual with accents of vanilla; Lupin & Patchouli is dynamic and vibrant as rose and mandarin perfectly complements it; Willow & Amber is soft and comforting thanks to the addition of vetiver and cashmere wood; and Nettle & Wild Achillea is crisp yet tender with accents of bergamot and musk.

5 / 11Lancome Renergie Multi-Lift Ultra Full Spectrum Cream ($175 for 50ml) Formulated to target a loss of firmness and radiance, this two-in-one cream from Lancome acts as a lifting cream as well as a brightening one. Thanks to its potent concentration of a vitamin C extract, melanin production is inhibited right at the source. In the meantime, vitamin C also helps support collagen synthesis. This is complemented by yeast extract, which reinforces the skin’s dermal tissues for firmer, more resilient skin.
