The brand’s next generation anti-ageing active is said to be 11 times more effective than retinol. It combats dull, sagging skin while refining skin texture for a smooth, supple and youthful complexion.

“My skin feels plumped and hydrated in the morning. The fine lines on my forehead are slightly less obvious as well. I also think it makes me look less tired.”

BEST ALL-IN-ONE ANTI-AGEING EYE CREAM

Using an AHC exclusive active to deliver faster and more effective absorption, it targets fine lines and wrinkles that can age the eye area. Best bit? This lightweight cream can also be used on the whole face.

“Doesn’t require excessive rubbing to promote absorption, and comes with tiny gold specks that add excitement to the user experience.”

A hydrating eye cream that plumps and repairs the skin barrier of the eye contours, reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles, while keeping signs of fatigue at bay.

“I liked how the eye cream made my eye area look smoother and fresher. One of the best eye creams I’ve tried.”

BEST BRIGHTENING SERUM

This derm-approved spot treatment targets hyperpigmentation, such as sun spots and dark patches to restore an even tone for smoother, brighter skin.

“It was absorbed very well by my skin, and I noticed less discoloration around my nose and cheeks after a week.”

BEST HYDRATING SERUM

Enriched with pharmaceutical grade actives combined with skin-friendly, naturally derived ingredients to leave skin well-hydrated and soft.

“Skin felt supple the next day and looked visibly more plump. One of the best hydrating serums I’ve used.”

BEST MOISTURISER FOR DRYNESS

Inspired by Asian galenics, this refreshing gel hydrates, soothes and detoxifies skin, boosting its resilience to help fight against free radicals.

“It can be used both day and night, and it really helped relieve my skin discomfort.”

BEST CLEANSER FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

A soap-free cleanser, it effectively cleanses without drying or irritating skin. It also helps to calm skin while locking in moisture, leaving it comfortable and supple.

“It improved my skin texture drastically, and after about two to three uses, my skin felt super hydrated and supple.”

BEST SKIN SOOTHING SERUM FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

A hydrating and skin-soothing serum that works in just 40 seconds, it reduces skin redness, relieves irritation, and strengthens the skin barrier.

“My skin felt calmer and soothed, especially after a retin-A treatment that made my skin more sensitised.”

BEST MOISTURISER FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

Enriched with a new patented post-biotic active to comfort and nourish sensitive and fragile skin. Fragrance- and preservative-free, it also promises to calm skin in just 30 seconds and restore the skin barrier in 48 hours.

“It’s great for soothing my skin and helping it recover from triggers or reactions.”

A hard-working multi-tasking cream, moisturiser, mask, post-shave care and even makeup remover, that soothes and hydrates skin, thanks to its blend of essential fatty acids and vitamins.

“This ticked all my boxes – no wonder it’s a cult-favourite!”

BEST SUNSCREEN

A milky, fluid sunscreen that contains Shiseido Group’s unique Aqua Booster EX Technology to enhance its UV protection upon contact with sweat or water. Doubles as a makeup primer, and is gentle enough even for babies and children.

“Kept my skin well protected from a full day out in the sun! I ran, biked and perspired, but my face showed no signs of redness.”

A water-light sunscreen that not only provides great sun protection, but also delivers intense hydration. Its non- comedogenic, hypoallergenic and oil-free formula makes it suitable for acne-prone, sensitive skin.

“It’s remarkably light and absorbs quickly into skin. Even with perspiration, the sunscreen didn’t run or streak.”
