The eye reviver: 111Skin Cryo De-Puffing Eye Mask

Is there anything a good eye mask can’t cure? A serious contender for the skin saviour top spot, 111Skin’s eye masks are a celebrity favourite for a reason. Designed to banish dark circles and alleviate under-eye puffiness before (or after) any event, these 20-minute hydrogel patches are miracle workers, infused with seaweed to reduce morning inflammation, and vitamin E to support the skin’s immune system and boost the area’s cell function. Store in your fridge for the ultimate cryo boost. Anddd, relax.

The body treatment: Alpha H Daily Dose Multivitamin Glow Body Serum

Inject a dose of all-over hydration with award-winning Australian skincare brand, Alpha H, and its Daily Dose serum, which is packed full of skin-loving vitamins. Lightweight and fast-absorbing, the formula is enriched with niacinamide, vitamin C, vitamin E, and hyaluronic acid that sinks deep into the skin to leave it hydrated and glowing. The noticeably radiant glow is owed to both the vitamin C and the serum’s subtle shimmer and caramel scent. It’s best applied straight out of the shower when skin is still damp to ensure maximum absorption – then pop on your favourite PJs and kick back on the sofa while Alpha H does the hard hydration work for you.

The mask: Neuraé The Harmonie Sleeping Mask

Inspired by neuroscience and the relationship between skin and emotions, Neuraé’s products aim to reduce the emotional toll of time on the skin – and are saviours at the end of the year when your normal skincare routine takes a hit. Launched this autumn, Neuraé’s overnight mask is the thick, nourishing and revitalising formula your skin will drink in after a night out on the town.

Designed to restore stressed and tired skin overnight, Neuraé products are crafted in Sisley’s laboratory and enhance the body’s natural melatonin activity – the key neuro-mediator in nocturnal regeneration mechanisms – essential for cell regeneration and circadian rhythm synchronisation. Achieved with the help of gardenia jasminoides, which mimics melatonin’s effects and helps protect the skin from stress-induced cortisol and inflammation, this is a skin barrier saviour this winter. Wake up to supremely supple and hydrated skin – thank me later.

The serum: CellCosmet CellLift Serum

Swiss brand Cellcosmet does not mess around when it comes to skincare science. Combining thoroughly researched cellular technology with natural ingredients, Cellcosmet products offer instant results, meaning you will be reaching for them daily during party season. A top pick is the ultra-tightening and plumping CellLift Serum, which is enriched with the brand’s CytoPep cellular extracts to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and, ultimately, even skin texture. While it promises to moisturise, we’d recommend applying morning and evening to face and neck after cleansing, followed by a dash of rich moisturiser to really soak in.

The moisturiser: Evidens de Beauté The Rich Cream

A newbie but a goodie, Evidens de Beauté introduced the latest iteration of its best-selling rich cream – affectionately known as ‘the French velvet cream’ – in October. This reformulated version delivers enhanced efficacy, featuring eight times more of the brand’s coveted Triple Collagen complex, five times more La Foux spring water sourced from the hills of Grasse, and the addition of GlucoSkinX3: a cutting-edge active recognised for its regenerative performance. The brand’s exclusive marine-origin Triple Collagen works on three levels – shielding, hydrating, and restructuring – to strengthen the skin’s barrier, boost elasticity, and visibly smooth fine lines. This is what we call skin renewal in a tub.

The cleanser: Wildsmith Skin Energising Gel Cleanser

Born on Hampshire’s Heckfield Estate and named after pioneering 19th-century horticulturist William Walker Wildsmith, Wildsmith Skin is a collection of clinically proven, science-based products that optimise skin health with natural ingredients. The brand works out of the estate’s ‘living lab’, aka The Bothy, which grows and harvests skin-loving ingredients such as dried calendula, Damask roses, Roman chamomile and lavender directly from English soil, so you can trust there are no nasties in these products.

For a dose of natural energy, look to the Energising B5 Gel Cleanser, which will not only remove the remnants from last night’s make-up (don’t worry, we’ve all been there), but also eliminate residue and water-based impurities. The hydrating gel texture transforms into foam when combined with water to cleanse effectively without leaving the skin dry and stiff, and also injects vitamins – specifically a water-soluble vitamin B5 that is practically synonymous with energy – and antioxidants for visible radiance. John Bell & Croyden has called it magic in a bottle – and who are we to argue?

The night cream: Medik8 Advanced Night Restore

I love a product that works while I sleep – and Medik8’s Advanced Night Restore is one I always reach for when I need something simple but effective. Enriched with ceramides, saskatoon berry and dragon fruit extract, the rejuvenating multi-ceramide formula aims to visibly firm and soften the appearance of stubborn lines and wrinkles. The addition of n-acetyl glucosamine helps to enhance the skin’s hydration by boosting hyaluronic acid production. Plus, it was specifically designed to work in tandem with vitamin A, so is perfect to lather after your retinol and retinal serums to deliver a serious glow during party season.
