Skingredients launched in the UK this week – a customisable capsule skincare collection formulated with active ingredients that are clinically-proven to nourish, protect and maintain the skin. The range has four core products:
Skingredients PreProbiotic Cleanser (£24) with prebiotics, probiotics and polyhydroxy acid (PHA) to cleanse, hydrate and gently exfoliate. The lightweight lotion removes all make up (including mascara) while exfoliating for a brighter complexion. It can also be left on for a soothing, hydrating mask. Skingredients Skin Veg Pre-Serum (£39) the hero product – an oil-free, lightweight pre-serum forumulated with hyaluronic acid, PHA and pro-collagen peptide and veggie goodness. It is a penetrant enhancer, so any products applied on top will work even harder. Great for MUAs as it gives a dewy priming effect under makeup, and can be used in lieu of eye cream as well. Skingredients Skin Protein (£39) – an anti-ageing serum with an active formula of vitamins A, C and E alongside antioxidants and powerful peptides. Effective at tackling a wide range of skin concerns including dullness, lines and wrinkles, lax skin, dark circles and blackheads.

Suitable and soft enough for daily use. Skingredients Skin Shield SPF 50 +++ (£39) – a lightweight broad-spectrum mineral SPF suitable for daily use to shield the skin against pollution, UVA, UVB and blue light exposure. It contains hydrating ingredients such as niacinamide, vitamin E and allantoin that give the skin an extra boost of antioxidants. It is also the non-comedogenic, oil-free and water-resistant and non-greasy. Available from skingredients.
R+Co have released Zig Zag Root Teasing Texture Spray (£30), the final addition to the Ashley Streicher X R+Co collaboration. This ightly tinted formula brings a bolt of energy to strands, adding durable grit and hold at the roots for an all-day ample look. It blends into any hair colour for a dusty-free, flexible texture, thanks to resins and a polymer complex that creates an invisible, web-like effect between the hair fibres. Formulated with bamboo stem extract, styling resins, mineral pigment and zeolite. Available from beautyrebelstore.
Algenist’s new Blue Algae Vitamin C Dark Spot Correcting Peel (£80) is a resurfacing and exfoliating peel that visibly reduces the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation with no downtime.

Safe to use on all skin tones and to address multiple types and pathways of discoloration. Alongside AHA, BHA and PHA, it contains Tranexamic Acid, most commonly used in professional treatments, and Azelaic Acid, notably safe and beneficial in combination with vitamin C for treating discoloration in skin of colour. Vegan friendly, renewable, naturally-sourced and sustainably produced. Launching 15th September exclusive to cultbeauty.
Barry M has launched Air Breathable Nail Paint (£3.99).

Saturday 12th September is mindfulness day. There’s no reason this shouldn’t extend to your beauty regime; be conscientious about your cleanse. Syrene Aquagel Oil to Foam Cleanser (£46) is an oil with seaweed extract that transforms to a gentle foam when activated with water, clearing pores without stripping moisture. The soothing scent is reminiscent of a sea breeze. You can also practice portion control – there’s no benefit to using excess product as this won’t be absorbed by the skin. Half a teaspoon of Syrene Aquagel Moisture Light Lotion (£58) is enough to cover the face and neck. A lightweight silky lotion glides over the skin and absorbs instantly, supporting hydration and balance and protecting from environmental aggressors all day. Contains Manuka honey, squalene and marine collagen. Both available exclusively from harveynichols.
Grab a shot of mega hydration from any of Soap & Glory’s four Body Butters (£10 each) to re-hydrate dried skin, lock in moisture and smell great.
