With a multitude of skincare ingredients available in the market, it’s easy to get caught up in the latest trends (bakuchiol, anyone?), as well as biotechnological innovations.
There are, however, tried and true ingredients that you can fall back on time and again – bringing us back to nature, brands like La Mer and Estee Lauder are powering the latest strengthening, wrinkle-smoothing, and rejuvenating skincare with kelp, algae, pearl, sea fennel and squalene. Here are our top picks.
GREAT FOR...TACKLING PIGMENTATION
Estee Re-Nutriv Ultimate Diamond Transformative Brilliance Serum, $412
Pearl powder and marine algae join forces with the brand’s Black Diamond Truffle Extract in this new serum that targets all signs of skin ageing. From the first use, it improves skin’s radiance, firmness and tone.
The ingredients: Pearl & marine algae
Pearl extracts contain high levels of calcium, which supports the regulation of skin’s natural moisturising factors and improves cell turnover. Marine algae is rich in antioxidants, which fight oxidative stress.
GREAT FOR... DEEP MOISTURATION
La Mer New Moisturizing Soft Cream, from $174 for 15ml
