The C in Tatcha’s Violet-C Brightening Serum (HK$720/30ml) stands for vitamin C, a potent antioxidant and anti-ageing superstar. Other ingredients include alpha hydroxy acids from fruits, which remove dead skin cells, and Japanese angelica root extract, which diffuses excess melanin.

A holy grail for sensitive skin, Saturday Skin’s Bright Potion Probiotic Power Serum (HK$335/30ml) has a gentle formula that protects and hydrates the skin. Probiotics are strains of friendly bacteria that fight off bad ones and recalibrate the skin’s microbiome.

Formulated with extracts from protective agropyron, Clarins’ V Shaping Facial Lift (HK$660/50ml) increases the production of collagen, which supports and holds fatty tissue in place, tightening the skin and preventing it from sagging.
