If you have oily or combination skin:
You may be most concerned with acne and breakouts. Salicylic acid is a great ingredient to look for in products designed to target this concern, as it helps to unclog pores and reduce the appearance of blemishes. You can shop our Salicylic range here.
If you have dry or sensitive skin:
Your biggest concern may be dryness and lack of hydration. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid can help to plump up the skin and increase hydration levels. You can shop our Hyaluronic Acid range here.
If you have normal or mature skin:
You may be looking to address hyperpigmentation and scarring, as well as signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles. Kojic acid and Vitamin C are both powerful ingredients that can help to lighten dark spots and improve the overall texture and tone of your skin.

It's also essential to remember that good skincare regimen not only needs good ingredients but also a healthy routine, including regular sunscreen use, proper cleansing and not over exfoliating. Read this blog for our guide to the ultimate skincare routine.
