Trinny London’s New Vitamin C Azelaic Acid Exosomes Serum Is In Our Cart This Black Friday

• Why we love it: This combination of slow-release vitamin C in a gentle form (ascorbyl glucoside) and skin-calming azelaic acid makes for a one-step solution for an uneven complexion. Dullness, redness, and dark spots – whether caused by sun damage or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation – fade with regular use while sitting smoothly under SPF and makeup. “It’s a smart, multitasking serum that targets both clarity and radiance,” Dr Yadav confirms.
• Key ingredients: Vitamin C (ascorbyl glucoside), azelaic acid, red algae
• Best for: Uneven texture and tone, dullness, discolouration, redness, sun damage, mature skin

• Why it’s Vogue-approved: You may find that vitamin C is not particularly well-tolerated by your skin, and if this is the case, you may want a less potent formula than the Boost Up from Trinny Woodall’s eponymous brand. The high concentration of the supercharged ingredient provides immediate radiance for the complexion, especially (as it is here) when paired with plankton extract and lactococcus ferment. There is also lemon peel ferment to even out skin tone.
• Key ingredients: Vitamin C, plankton extract, lemon peel ferment, lactococcus ferment

Stackable skincare but supercharged is what defines this stellar Trinny London selection, packed within a sleek travel case. It contains the powerhouse trio of the plumping Bounce Back intense peptide moisturiser, firming Plump Up peptide and hyaluronic acid serum and lifting The Elevator neck and décolleté concentrate – and it’s worth a combined total of £77.

• Why we love it: Celebrity make-up artist Fiona Stiles leans toward cream shadows for mature clients, and notes that Trinny London’s crease-resistant formulation “stays put.” The Eye2Eye shadows also have a stamp of approval from Aharon, who notes: “These glide effortlessly onto your eyelids and blend easily, meaning there’s no tugging or pulling at your lids and you can easily build intensity.” Available in 25 highly pigmented shades – ranging from the cool rosy “Vision” to the shimmery, plummy “Passion” – the shadows are easy to use. For a light wash of colour, tap a single layer of shadow onto the lids with the ring finger; use another finger to blend it in. For more intensity, add another layer of colour or use a brush to apply a smoky accent hue to the outer corners of the eyes. The versatile shadows can also be used as eyeliners.
• Texture: Cream
• Finish: Subtle shimmer
• Shade range: 25

• Best revitalising hydrating serum
• Why it’s Vogue-approved: Your skin will feel the effects of this active-packed serum instantly as well as over time, thanks to its powerhouse blend of revitalising ingredients. A combination of pro vitamin B5, trehalose, xylitol and squalane help reinstate hydration and strengthen the skin barrier to prevent moisture escaping, while clever micro-infusion technology helps the ingredients get deeper in the skin. To help boost blood flow and improve vitality, antioxidant-rich artichoke polyphenols are included.

As well as micro-encapsulated pigments that adapt and blend to your skin tone, this clever formulation offers SPF30 protection and helps improve skin’s natural glow thanks to porcelain flower. The result is a naturally luminous finish and a more youthful and even skin tone.

• Why it’s Vogue-approved: Understanding that all signs of stress, fatigue and ageing show up around the eyes faster than anywhere on the face, Trinny’s smart formula includes a host of clinically proven actives like peptides, mini proteins and hyaluronic acid. Combined together, they help to improve skin health and restore it to a more youthful default setting, which means an improvement of dark circles, better hydration and skin that has more natural bounce.
• Key ingredients: peptides, mini proteins, hyaluronic acid
• Formula: cream
• Size: 15ml

• Why we love it: “In recent years, I’ve noticed deeper horizontal lines forming across my neck, and combined with the pigmentation left behind by hormonal acne, I often feel quite self-conscious. Trinny’s fast-absorbing formula is a concentrated serum-moisturiser hybrid, which pampers and firms skin without clogging pores. After four weeks, my lines haven’t disappeared completely but they are a lot less deep, and I’ve seen great improvements to the dark spots and blemishes that usually crop up on my jawline and chest. It’s an investment, but it is worth the spend if you tend to neglect your neck.” – Tracy Achonwa, beauty writer
• Ingredients: Alpha arbutin, Isodonis Japonicus plant
• Who it’s for: Combatting tech neck and sagging jowls
