A spin off from the cult classic Minéral 89, this eye serum contains the same magical formula as its OG counterpart but with the addition of caffeine to de-puff and strengthen the skin. The lightweight fluid is ideal on its own, or under makeup, for day. Come nighttime we love to layer it with a rich eye cream over top to seal in the hydrating properties, and stave off dryness while snoozing.

Who isn’t a sucker for a deeply rich hydrating mask? (Spoiler alert: we are.) We stan for this winter essential which contains multiple sizes of hyaluronic acid to ensure your skin gets the ultimate moisture boost. The ingredient list also contains banana flower and juniper berry to help soothe redness and inflammation.

We’ve been slapping this HA-heavy booster on since the day it launched in 2018, and our love for it is still going way strong. Formulated with 89% Vichy Mineralized Thermal Water and natural hyaluronic acid, it is the perfect defence against harsh air inside and out. Suitable for all skin types, this pre-serum step sinks in fast.
Vichy Minéral 89, $40
This futuristic-looking contraption makes the difference between sad, parched winter skin and a plump, hydrated visage. While it boasts a steep price tag, trust us when we say: it’s worth it. It blasts clean, hygienic air out at a steady stream and it measures the room’s temperature and humidity levels to adjust itself accordingly. ➕ it doubles up as a fan in the summer so you’re getting your money’s worth 💰
