Dermocosmetics can come to the rescue of sensitive, reactive or environmentally ravaged complexions.
Pollution, sun damage and chemicals are just three of the major causes behind a surge in skin concerns such as sensitivity and eczema. Meanwhile, dry and dehydrated skin has become a pervasive problem for people of all ages. Sales of specialised skincare products, known as dermocosmetics, are soaring as brands create cleansers, moisturisers and treatments to target specific issues not serious enough to require medical attention but too bothersome to ignore.
1 Bioderma Hydrabio Serum ($47)
This French brand rests its reputation on the convergence of biology and dermatology. Its Hydrabio range is formulated to alleviate dehydrated, sensitive skin that feels taut and uncomfortable after cleansing. The patented ingredient, Aquagenium, aims to stimulate skin cells and promote the natural hydration process. A few drops under your moisturiser, day and night, promises to strengthen skin and give moisture levels an intense boost.
