“TriDration B!! Only takes 5 mins for juicy skin.” – @tilly.nguyen
This fragrance-free ‘express medi mask‘ calms skin in just 5 minutes – perfect if you’re running late! The cooling gel formula combines multiple methods of hydration to ensure supremely plump, dewy skin: humectants to attract and hold moisture, saccharide isomerate (an ingredient that actually stimulates the skin to make its own natural hyaluronic acid deep in the dermis), and super-effective direct hyaluronic acid, as well as hero ingredient niacinimide to reduce redness.
“Biologique Recherche VIP 02 or Vivant! Best in the business!” – @gbazp
Best in the business indeed! Biologique Recherche may test your French pronunciation skills, but their range has a reputation rivalled by few other skin care brands, and is used by celebrities and their aestheticians alike. The famous Masque Vivant is purifying concoction containing a high concentration of the brand’s signature Yeast Extract, producing a unique colour and scent which has been compared to Vegemite. While that may not sound glamorous, this ingredient actively combats the bacteria that causes breakouts, and is rich in B group vitamins to regulate oil production.
Their Masque VIP O2, on the other hand, is a hydrating, brightening treatment for a red carpet-worthy glow. The clever Biologique Recherche Oxygenating Complex draws oxygen into the skin to rev up a dull, tired complexion, while cucumber extract hydrates. Biologique Recherche is an exclusive brand used in select salons, so unfortunately it’s a little harder to get your hands on than some products. You can find your closest stockist here, or head to skin specialist Melanie Grant‘s online boutique (you will need to register an account to purchase, as these products are potent!).
