This is genius, repelling and blocking against modern pollutants, from atmospheric pollution outside to household chemicals and blue light from electronic screens, inside. It’s super light and mattifying and, because it apparently improves skin moisture by up to 30% – “my wife says I don’t look as haggard” – said our SW14 tester. Note: it is an adjunct, rather than instead of an SPF.

Beauty sleep in a bottle, powered by NeuroPlant™ Technology, a revolutionary complex of bioactives and plant compounds. Purifying, anti-inflammatory plant extracts and oils, such as of blue tansy, lavender and cedarwood, assist in mopping up pollutants, while vitamin D and antioxidants help mend the skin’s delicate microbiome for a clearer, healthier complexion. “A brilliant bedside buddy,” says our N10 tester.

Brimming with plant action, from Sencha Green tea, prickly pear seed and arctic blackcurrant seed oil CO2; super high in protective antioxidants, beta carotene, vitamins B, C, D and K, this is like a skin supplement in liquid form. Soaks in fast, is non-greasy and smells divine.

They had me at ‘megacity protection’ formula, says our SE21 tester. Formulated to help the skin defend itself against environmental aggressors, including pollution, UV radiation, and IR-A light, it’s a seven-day cure for the skin applied every night for a week to repair skin while you sleep. You wake with skin that is protected, nourished and a noticeable luminosity.
