NEW.NEW.NEW

Moisture Boost Filler Serum for dry and dehydrated skin

Like a burst of refreshment our latest Advantage serum has 2% Hyaluronic Acid (the max allowed!) to pump water into skin cells for smoother, fresher, glowing skin and Ceramides to improve skin barrier function and keep precious moisture in for longer (at least 24 hours). Also, Resurrection plant extract, a desert plant breakthrough discovery that promotes cellular repair and skin revitalisation. It’s the answer to dry, stressed late-summer skin that feels tight and uncomfortable. R279.99.

Triple-Action Serum to recondition your skin

Who doesn’t love a serum that does it all? Lift, firm and rehydrate with this best-seller Advantage skin saver. With Bio-Active Rooibos, Chlorella algae extract, Aloe, Jojoba seed oil and Lavender extracts, as well as Ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid. Formulated with a light texture for rapid absorption and a visibly smoother and more radiant complexion. R240.99.

‘I’ve been using the Serum for 5 years now. It’s simply the best.’ Gerda

Hydrofirm-C+ Serum for serious anti-wrinkle action

When the signs of passing time can no longer be wished away, Hydrofirm-C+ serum targets all the visible signs of ageing – from visible lines and wrinkles to sagging tired-looking skin and even dark circles and puffiness under the eyes. The magic ingredient is Olea Vitae (olive sprout stem cells) to kick-start cellular regeneration, with Olive Squalane for suppleness and “natural botox” Spilanthes Acmella extract for visibly reduced wrinkles. Peptides, Ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid energise and moisturise, while a healthy dose of Vitamin C tackles age spots and generally brightens and evens skin tone. Independent lab tests show visible results from 14 days. R315.99

Radiance Even Tone Serum for dark marks

Where under the African sun can you escape dark marks and pigmentation issues? This clinically proven Dark Mark Correcting Serum is part of our Radiance range, but can also be used with any of our other products. The key ingredient is Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) to help fade dark marks, improve skin tone and generally boost radiance. It also has Rose oil and Buchu extract, as well as our signature Bio-Active Rooibos. Apply to dark marks and problem areas once or twice a day. R140.

Secrets of Serums

  •  Apply a few drops of serum to clean skin in the morning and the evening before applying day or night cream.
  • Use your fingers to smooth serum over problem areas, and wait a few seconds for it to dry before applying creams.
  • Always use a moisturiser or sunscreen with at least SPF15 as serums contain active ingredients that may react with the sun.
  • Use a serum suited to your skin type, and preferably one that’s part of your usual skin-care range.
