Introducing an innovative launch Japan’s UBUNA Beauty Brighten Maximum Glow Serum (£180).   Harnessing a natural Melanin AntiBody Complex – developed by harnessing natural antibodies from unfertilised ostrich egg yolks (a sustainable process that does not harm the ostrich or the egg) – this serum creates a molecular ‘cage’ around damaging antigens; deactivating the radicals (caused by sun and pollution, for example) to ward against detrimental side-effects, boosting the skin’s ceramides.

Dull, dehydrated skin is transformed, giving brighter, more even skin with diminished fine lines and wrinkles. With anti-inflammatory squalane and soybean (to stimulate collagen) added to the mix, the skin-boosting medley also allows skin’s natural enzymes to convert retinyl palmitate to retinol, for accelerated cell turnover and clearer, more radiant skin. Available now from netaporter.
