Does your skin need something a little more hardcore? This active peel works to remove dead skin cells that lead to blemishes and blackheads without being too abrasive or uncomfortable.
It’s not just your waistline that suffers, did you know after periods of stress or overindulgence our skin’s barrier can become fragile which can lead to skin problems such as dryness and acne? Use this super-hydrating, non-greasy moisturiser twice a day to keep your skin feeling fresh.
A cheaper, less invasive, alternative to chemical fillers that still gives instant results. The active ingredient, Hyaluronic acid, can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water – meaning that this gel helps your everyday moisturiser to hydrate your skin even more.
