November is a fertile month in the world of beauty: the year is coming to an end, just a little more, and everything will spin in the New Year’s fuss, which means it’s time to bring bright new items and holiday collections to the stage so that we, beauty users, have time to think and choose a gift – for yourself or your loved ones.
CeraVe foaming oil: very personal
So it turns out that CeraVe regularly claims the throne of the absolute monarch in my beauty kingdom, and with success. At first, “Moisturizing Cream” became the main means of care for both the face and body during the cold season. Now the brand is conquering new territories, this time in the field of cleansing: as soon as it appears on the shelf in the bathroom, a new “Hydrating Cleansing Foaming Oil” immediately replaced as many as two products: a cleanser and a shower gel to boot.
It should be emphasized that the novelty does not belong to the category of hydrophilic oils for make-up removal. This is a cleansing/washing product, and it is used appropriately, that is, it is applied to wet skin. Its texture is original – an oily silky gel that melts on contact with water and turns into a thin foam. Rinses off easily and without a trace, leaving the skin perfectly clean and at the same time soft.
The product perfectly removes impurities, but at the same time preserves the protective lipid layer of the skin.
This oil is addressed to people with dry, even very dry skin, prone to atopy, requiring delicate cleansing. The formula does not contain soap, sulfates, parabens and fragrances, and its washing base is based on mild surfactants with amino acid derivatives. Moreover, the composition is enriched with components that are very valuable for the skin.
Ceramides – these lipids, which help restore the skin’s protective barrier, are indispensable for any CeraVe product.
Squalane and triglycerides are another duo of lipids that dry skin always suffers from, and in winter, normal, combination, and aging skin can also face this problem.
CeraVe foaming oil is universal – suitable for both face and body for all family members, starting with babies. It is spent quite economically, but one must be prepared for the fact that it will not be possible to use it alone. It’s good that there is a large format of 473 ml – enough for everyone.
Recovery Course by Lancôme
It is known that sensitive skin will always find a reason to express dissatisfaction, such is its fastidious nature. Although, in fairness, we note that in our time there are too many stress factors, even for hardy and generally prosperous skin. External and internal stress, unfavorable environmental conditions, constant wearing of a mask have become the norm of life, against which the skin protests: dryness, redness, enlarged pores, a feeling of tightness appear.
Lancôme experts have released a new version of the dual action concentrate Advanced Genifique Sensitive, which promises to improve the condition of the skin in a month of use, strengthening its barrier.
The tool consists of two components:
base concentrate, which includes seven pre- and probiotic fractions selected for their beneficial effects on the skin microbiome, as well as hyaluronic acid;
active blue concentrateenriched with powerful antioxidants – ferulic acid at a concentration of 98% and vitamin E.
The two parts of the formula are stored separately and activated when mixed immediately before the first application.
Kiehl’s: 1+1
Kiehl’s released two new items at once. Let’s start with seniority.
A firming serum to combat factors that affect premature skin aging, Vital Skin-Strengthening Super Serum (with micronized hyaluronic acid 11 kDa and adaptogenic herbal complex).
Yes, the name is tricky, but now it will become clear what’s what.
For this formula, the smallest molecule of hyaluronic acid with an atomic mass of 11 kDa (or “kilodaltons”) was used. For comparison, an ordinary hyaluron molecule is 1000 kDa, and a fragmented one is 50 kDa.
In addition to this tiny fighter for skin hydration, the product includes an herbal complex with adaptogens (components to increase skin endurance): extracts of ginseng, lemongrass and basil.
Ferulic Acid Rejuvenating Essence Ferulic Brew Rejuvenating Facial Essence (with ferulic and lactic acids and squalane oil).
For those who don’t take a product like essence too seriously, you should reconsider and give this 99% natural formula a try, which includes:
ferulic acid is an antioxidant that can correct age-related skin changes;
lactic acid is the softest of acids, gradually and without aggression renewing the skin, thus improving its relief, restoring its radiance;
Squalane, the brand’s signature “oily” skin-friendly ingredient, helps reinforce the skin’s lipid protective mantle.
Festive Kiehl’s
As soon as November ends, the year is rapidly rolling towards its end. You do not have time to look back, as it is already time to decorate the Christmas tree and put gifts under it.
Kiehl’s loves and knows how to celebrate the holidays and is very prudently preparing for them in advance. Already today in stores and on the brand’s website you can buy limited editions. Incidentally, Kiehl’s is celebrating its 170th holiday season this year.
On this occasion, the brand, which has been collaborating with the international community of artists for more than 10 years, invited the French artist Marylou Faure, who created the design of a limited collection – the magical world of Christmas New York. Looking at the characters – funny, funny, touching – you want to smile and believe that everything will be fine.
The following favorites have changed into fabulous packaging:
Ultimate Strength Hand Salve
Nourishing body cream Creme de Corps
Super Multi-Corrective Cream with proxylan, vitamin A phytomimetic and hyaluronic acid
Ultra Facial Cream
Calendula Herbal-Extract Toner
This holiday season, Kiehl’s is once again focusing on creating more sustainable packaging. For the first time, Ultimate Strength Hand Salve and the iconic Creme de Corps Nourishing Body Cream are presented in new formats using FSC* certified paper, significantly reducing the use of plastic in production.
This holiday is just beginning. Starting December 1, a limited-edition advent calendar featuring 24 products from Kiehl’s will be available – exclusively online at kiehl’s.ru.
