5 new skincare products that stop redness and dullness

Formulated with pure gold powder, golden photo-reflecting agents and a golden lotus blend (made with lotus flowers) with reported anti-ageing properties, this gel-like cream leaves a matte, soft-focus finish to blur out flaws, so it can double as a makeup primer.

The magic ingredient here is truffle yeast extract, which is said to help break down melanin and flush out impurities that cause dullness. This watery, non-drying essence also has green tea proteins to purportedly help its active ingredients penetrate deeper into the skin.

This balm-like cream is designed to reduce yellow tones in the skin, as well as strengthen weak capillaries so skin is less prone to redness and dullness, thanks to carnosine (an amino acid) and centella asiatica extract respectively. Another perk: the mint extracts in the formula leave a pleasant cooling sensation on skin.

We love that this multi-tasker has optical diffusers and soft focus silicones to instantly impart radiance – on lazy days, we use this in place of our primers. It also has a blend of vitamin C and niacinamide to reduce dullness.

Packed with fruit and seed extracts from the acerola fruit, which is naturally high in vitamin C, this silky serum promises to regulate melanin production and improve skin translucency for that covetable lit-from-within glow.
