Guerlain

As fresh to the market as it will be to any suffering skin, Paris-based Guerlain’s new Super Aqua-Serum and Super Aqua-Lotion have both been developed with ensuring the ultimate in skin sensuality very much in mind. Thanks to its apt deployment of advanced aqua complex technology, your skin’s natural water flow is optimised, resulting in instant and persistent rehydration.

Another brand on a mission to help you through the summer is Dior, with its Hydra Life Fresh Reviver Sorbet Water Mist and Fresh Hydration Sorbet Crème taking centre stage. The mist keeps your skin hydrated throughout the day, with its array of active ingredients stimulating the intra-cellular water reserve while energising your epidermis.

Fresh

Just as its name suggests, Fresh is looking to ensure that your skin is ably moisturised, courtesy of its Rose Deep Hydration Sleeping Mask. The night-time application consists of a cooling gel essence and calming rosewater, which work together to smoothe out and strengthen the skin’s natural barriers.

Meanwhile, Derm Institute is set on reducing your unwanted blemishes and warding off the worst effects of ageing with its new Anti-Oxidant Hydration Blemish Rescue. Featuring such key ingredients as 3D hydra APS, vitamin B3 and nanogold, this is very much an anti-inflammatory, anti-blemish all-star squad.

Eve Lom

Last but not least is the new Moisture Cream from Eve Lom. Promising to keep your skin hydrated for up to 72 hours, the cream is said to detoxify cells while strengthening the skin’s own barriers.

Essence Essentials: Serums to get smooth skin in the Year of the Pig

Courtesy of premier luxury skincare brand Shiseido comes Clé de Peau’s reformulated Essential Refining Essence. Its cutting-edge formulation is said to target the root cause of visible pores, while reducing the roughness and dullness of the skin. Designed to minimise excess sebum release and erase impurities, it also promises up to eight hours of hydration, ensuring your skin stays smooth and properly moisturised throughout the day.

EVE LOM, the British skincare brand, meanwhile, has turned its attention to skin-soothing serums, with its new Time Retreat Radiance Boost Treatment – featuring special acids blended with a radiance-boosting formula – guaranteed to even out your epidermis. Said to help reduce wrinkles and puffiness, the serum also apparently boasts cell-renewing properties, all intended to bestow a healthier glow.

BIOTHERM is on a mission to help you turn over a new leaf – at least dermatologically – in the Year of the Pig with its firecracker-themed Life Plankton Essence. Sourced from the thermal springs of France – home territory for the company – comes this naturally nourishing life plankton, which works to activate skin renewal and enhance absorption. It’s said to make your skin feel younger in just eight days.
