Charlotte Tilbury launches tri-phase cleanser

The Magic Hydration Revival Cleanser goes on as a cream that detects your skin condition and floods it with hyaluronic acid to plump skin. As you work the cleanser into the skin, it turns into a foam that helps lift dirt and impurities to keep pores clear. Finally, it dissolves into a milky texture that conditions with a skin smoothing peptide complex and a barrier shield technology that mimics the skin’s natural defense system to keep it healthy and supple.

Paula’s Choice debuts first lightweight liquid AHA exfoliant

The 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant is ideal for those who have dry or sensitised skin as alpha hydroxy acids are known to improve the skin barrier by stimulating barrier-strengthening proteins and lipids that also boost hydration. Plus, the larger molecules in Mandelic acid make it less irritating on the skin. Lactic acid on the other hand helps trigger the production of ceramides that help keep skin supple.
