The best grooming products of the year are... in my not so humble opine;
Hydration
Dr Burgener Switzerland Collagen Intense Face Serum
Dr Burgener’s “intense” face serum is surprisingly light to the touch after a wash and application before bed. In the thick of Asia’s tropical heat and humidity, it provides a milky, second-skin-like feel, thanks to the key ingredients of marine plankton extract and Dr Burgener’s unique Hyalnature formulated complex, made up of three natural hyaluronic acids that help to boost collagen, reduce signs of fine lines, smoothen wrinkles, and lend a glow to your complexion. With regular usage, the active solution hydrates and softens the skin, while the gentle aroma is a bonus.
Lifting
La Mer Lifting Firming Serum
As we look at 40—from the wrong direction—the need, not the luxury, of the Lifting Firming Serum has come to be. Drops dabbed upon the skin can help sculpt the face to restore youthful balance and create a lifted feeling around the upper and lower structural zones. Among the ingredients, the sea kelp, minerals, and vitamins in La Mer’s fermented Miracle Broth base aid cell regeneration, leaving the skin renewed and radiant. With the product tried and tested, we’re comforted to know that while we may not be able to revert from original sin, we can return to original skin.
Eye Care
Guerlain Abeille Royale Double R Renew & Repair Eye Serum
As some of the first visible signs of ageing appear around the eyes, the credit-card swipe on Guerlain’s Abeille Royale eye serum becomes a self-investment we’d like a tax rebate on. Enriched with white-honey concentrate, fragmented hyaluronic acid, and a peptide, this formula can reduce puffiness and dark circles, and illuminate the eye area for a brighter, smoother look and feel. All the efforts of innumerable bees (Guerlain has been working diligently with honey and French royal jellies—hence the recurring bee motif) help to change the epidermis from peasant to posh.
Face Cream
La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe Cream
La Prairie launched its new Skin Caviar Luxe Cream with an even more evolved “caviar science” formula, building on the foundations of its original 1987 iteration. The secret of its success lies in the key ingredients, which include caviar micro-nutrients to boost the metabolism of the epidermis and maintain firm structure. Legions swear by the velvety cream as it lifts and tightens the skin. For the 2023 version, the jars have been reimagined with recycled and recyclable glass and the colour pays homage to artist Niki de Saint Phalle (who originally inspired that signature shade of cobalt blue).
Brightening
Murad Vita-C Glycolic Serum
Founded by dermatologist Dr Howard Murad, this brand has always taken a scientific approach to skincare. Its fragrance-free Vita-C Glycolic Serum, infused with the antioxidant potential of gold-stabilised vitamin C, offers deep penetration and high absorption to help fade dark spots, reduce pigmentation, and create a smooth, even complexion, while the glycolic acid in the formula helps to remove dead surface cells. A dual-chamber delivery system ensures that the elixir itself faces a lower risk of oxidation. 91 per cent of participants in clinical trials have reported smoother, brighter skin in just two weeks!
Collection
Valmont Essence of Bees
Valmont has been on our radar since the Crème Merveilleuse launch in 2021. Now, there’s the Essence of Bees collection, comprising the Huile Majestueuse face oil, Crème de Masque Majestueuse face cream, and Sérum Majestueux Vos Yeux lifting eye serum, a trio of powerhouse products with regenerative, nutritional properties derived from honey, royal jelly, and propolis, which infuse the skin with a radiant glow, repair damaged cells, and reinforce the epidermis to create a natural barrier against the elements. In the battle against free radicals attacking your skin, Valmont’s Essence of Bees range is the kind of heavy firepower you want in your arsenal of skincare.
