New skincare launches this month

Caudalie Vinosource Quenching Sorbet-Crème

Caudalie Vinosource Quenching Sorbet-Crème is a soothing, anti-oxidant, ultra-natural formula designed for sensitive skin. It contains grape water, which is rich in polysaccharides that capture water and conserve it within the cells, and trace elements that soothe skin; vinolevure, a molecule from the walls of wine yeast that has hydrating, strengthening and protective qualities and can conserve up to 100 times its weight in water; and grape-seed polyphenols, which block 100% of free radicals and are 10,000 times more effective than vitamin E.

Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle & UV Damage Corrector

Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle & UV Damage Corrector claims to achieve 63% of the visible wrinkle reducing power of a laser in just 12 weeks. The serum is formulated to work day and night to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and repair and help prevent UV damage with results close to a dermatological laser treatment. Its potent blend of three patented repair enzymes encapsulated in a liposome delivery system helps visibly reverse past damage and mend ‘solar scars', such as breakdown of collagen, uneven skin texture and early lines and wrinkles. Meanwhile, a high-level peptide complex boosts natural collagen production and helps maintain existing collagen, helping to smooth and soften skin. Rsp £35, Estée Lauder, 0870 034 2566.

Méthode Jeanne Piaubert ExpresSlim

Méthode Jeanne Piaubert ExpresSlim is a revolutionary treatment designed to reduce double chins and redefine the facial contours. Based on chronobiology, the duo of serums contains a high concentrate of active ingredients formulated to release and burn fats while fighting against wrinkles. The tri-ball massaging head allows the ingredients to penetrate deeply and rapidly while promoting lymphatic drainage. The treatment comprises a day serum, which includes dihydromyricetin to draw fats out of the adipocytes while anti-glycation agents help diminish wrinkles; and a night serum, which contains Essenskin to refine the jaw line and re-densify and strengthen skin.
