Load up on a luxurious cocktail of antioxidants and vitamins, to protect, revive and brighten your complexion 

Valmont Perfecting Powder Cream (SPF 30)

All hail Valmont’s new luxe compact cream, which toes the line between moisturiser and foundation. Concocted in the Swiss Alps with scientific precision, this smart, hydrating formula is infused with anti-aging ingredients typically only found in skincare (hence the heavy price tag). The nourishing, butter-soft pigment turns to powder when applied, providing a protective veil and creating a dewy, bright complexion. It is housed in an elegant, gilded compact that can be refilled once finished.
