Plus, it even has anti-inflammatory properties to ensure skin is calmed and soothed. Super exciting new product to try this month.

Dior Capture Totale Super Potent Serum, $184

3/11

This new-age anti-ageing serum harnesses the powers of the brand’s newest technology, the Capture Totale C.E.L.L. Energy Technology, which is made out of four different flowers that help to restore the regenerative powers of stem cells found in our skin.

Stem cells are a rarity and represent 0.2 per cent of our skin cells but are extremely valuable as a single stem cell can help generate millions of new cells, which simply means our skin will then be able to heal quicker and regenerate faster to prevent signs of ageing.

Furthermore, Lipo-3x, a new lipopeptide derived from bio-fermentation has been integrated into the formula to allow the ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin for more visible results, all while reactivating the six vital cellular functions (energy, regeneration, self-repair, healing, cell production and strengthening) for healthier-looking skin.

Shiseido Vital Perfection Uplifting and Firming Cream, $165

8/11

This contains two key ingredients known as Shiseido ReNeura Technology++ and Kurenai-TruLift Complex.

The former ingredient is inspired by neuroscience to improve the skin’s ability to regenerate (which tends to slow down as we age), allowing the cream to work quickly and effectively.

The latter ingredient, on the other hand, was created based on a new skin-science discovery to boost resilience and elasticity for a firmer complexion.
