The Highlight Issue 13 'Spring into Summer'

SKINCARE SUPERHEROES RETINOL X NIACINAMIDE VITAMIN C X VITAMIN EI HYALURONIC ACID X PHAs It’s the beauty pairing you never knew you needed! Retinol (a form of vitamin A) is great for minimising the appearance of blemishes and fine lines – but its potency may cause unwanted dryness. Enter niacinamide, which works to counteract retinol-induced dryness while strengthening the skin barrier. Excellent alone but even stronger together, both vitamin C and vitamin E work to fight off environmental aggressors. What’s more? Vitamin E also helps to stabilise and support the efficacy of your vitamin C formulas, designed to prevent them from oxidising and prolong their shelf-life! We’re all for the resurfacing results we get from PHAs, but too much sloughing can lead to dryness, redness and coarseness. Add a generous hit of hydration – hyaluronic acid, a humectant said to hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, floods skin with moisture for healthy-looking results.
