I have chosen this simple toner for you to add extra hydration into the skin. It contains plant antioxidants as well as hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and panthenol (vitamin b5), so helps to keep skin plump and protected.

Jeju green tea water works to hydrate the skin, whilst offering antioxidant protection through the high concentration of polyphenols present in the green tea.

Ceramides are long chains of lipids, which occur naturally within the epidermis. Their function is to hold the skin cells together by creating a barrier against water-loss from the inside-out, and external aggressors from the outside-in. They make up almost 50% of our skins composition, but they can be depleted by UV, free radicals & pollution, and their production also naturally slows with age. This leads to an impaired skin barrier, which results in dry, rough skin with more visible wrinkling and redness. Applying ceramides topically can increase the levels of ceramides in the epidermis, and therefore supports the natural healthy functioning of the skin.

Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide which occurs naturally in the body. Hyaluronic acid works as an extremely powerful humectant, able to attract 1000x its own weight in water, to immediately plump and hydrate the area it is applied to. The body’s own production of hyaluronic acid slows with age, so supplementing this ingredient in topical formulations helps to support the skin’s natural moisture-binding, anti-ageing mechanisms.

Panthenol is a form of Vitamin B5, which is converted into Pantothenic acid within the epidermis when applied topically. Its main benefit in cosmetics is as a humectant, meaning it can draw water molecules to it, hydrating and plumping the area it has been applied to.

Panthenol also supports the natural lipid barrier of the skin, by encouraging the production of a precursor to fatty acids & sphingolipids, both of which are essential parts of the skin barrier. This mechanism helps to moisturise the skin by reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), therefore retaining more moisture within the skin. This also helps to reduce inflammation in dry or broken skin, as an intact skin barrier will prevent potential irritants from getting into the epidermis.

I have chosen this lightweight gel cream formula for you to add much needed hydration to the skin, without any heaviness. Hydration is very important even for oilier skin types to keep skin balanced, and this formula contains ingredients to support the skin barrier and keep skin functioning at its best.

Hydrolysed hyaluronic acid is essentially a low molecular weight Hyaluronic acid (a polysaccharide which occurs naturally in the body), that has been broken up to achieve better skin penetration.

Phytosphingosine (PS) is a lipid which naturally occurs in the stratum corneum (the top, visible layer of our epidermis). This acts as a precursor for ceramide synthesis, meaning it encourages the skin to produce ceramides naturally.

Studies have also shown PS to offer anti-acne benefits, it is believed by reinforcing the protective barrier, and therefore reducing specific abnormalities in the skin functioning that lead to acne (invading inflammatory bacteria, increased keratinization, increased sebaceous gland activity).

phytosphingosine

Our outer layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, has a multilamellar structure (essentially a fine membrane), made up of lipids (fats), to form a non-permeable barrier. This keeps water inside the skin, and acts as the first defense against external aggressors. The lipids which make up the majority of this are known as ceramides, which are produced naturally in the body from a range of other naturally-occurring lipids, which we class here as essential lipids (not the same as essential fatty acids, which are deemed ‘essential’ as the body cannot produce these naturally.) Using these lipids in skincare helps to support the natural skin barrier, preventing water-loss to keep skin hydrated and balanced.

Tocopherol, aka Vitamin E, is a fat-soluble Vitamin contained in many plant oils, or can also be produced synthetically. Vitamin E is found naturally in our own skin, and it’s main benefit is to offer powerful antioxidant protection against pollution and free radical damage. It also helps to support our skin’s natural lipid barrier, which in turn improves the hydration levels within the epidermis, as water loss through the skin is minimised.

A lightweight moisturiser designed to target inflammation in the skin to help calm redness and soothe blemish-prone skin. Combining plant extracts of centella asiatica (tiger grass) and guaiazulene (derived from chamomile), this formula hydrates, protects and calms in one.

Many peptides function as anti-ageing ingredients in skincare, due to their ability to fit specific receptors in the body to trigger anti-ageing responses. This includes mechanisms like collagen production, cell regeneration or even blocking muscle contractions to smooth expression lines. Peptides are made up of amino acids, and are unique in shape, with a huge variety available to target specific responses in the body.

argania spinosa kernel oil

Argan oil is derived from the nut of the Argan tree which grows in Morocco. It is naturally high in Vitamin E and fatty acids, which work to nourish the skin, protect the natural lipid barrier and provide antioxidant protection against free radicals.

Asiatic acid is one of the active constituents found in Centella Asiatica (also known as Gotu Kola or Tiger grass). This plant has been used for centuries in Eastern medicine for it’s healing properties.

asiatic acid

Centella Asiatica (also known as Gotu Kola or Tiger grass) has been used for centuries in Eastern medicine for its healing properties. It contains phytochemicals which research shows can stimulate blood flow, strengthen the skin and provide antioxidant protection, all of which combined accelerate the wound healing process.

It is also believed to have the ability to stimulate the fibroblasts to produce type 1 collagen, which further supports wound healing as well as providing anti-ageing benefits. Collagen is also a protein whose production decreases with age, and is essential for maintaining skin firmness & smoothness, so this collagen-boosting property gives the added benefit of reducing wrinkles and firming the skin. It has also been shown to stimulate the production of hyaluronic acid in the skin, another molecule whose production slows with age, but is essential for keeping skin looking hydrated, plump & youthful.

butyrospermum parkii butter

Shea butter is the natural butter of the shea nut, which grows in West Africa. It is high in fatty acids and vitamins, so works to support the natural lipid barrier of the skin, reducing water loss via the epidermis to keep skin soft, smooth and moisturised.

Glycerin is a humectant present in all natural lipids. It works to attract water molecules towards it, plumping & hydrating the applied area, resulting in smooth, soft, hydrated skin. It is one of the most widely used humectants in skincare, due to it’s high performance and broad availability (making it very cost-effective). Recent research has shown that it’s ability to penetrate the layers of the skin is superior to that of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, making it a brilliant choice for overall skin hydration, and suitable for all skin types.

Jojoba oil is a natural oil from the jojoba plant. It is structurally similar to our skin's natural sebum (oil), so absorbs very well into the skin and doesn't clog the pores. It is fantastic for nourishing the skin and is naturally high in fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamins to optimise skin barrier health.

simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil

Ideal for oily, acne-prone and sensitive skin, the Dear, Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream effectively soothes, hydrates and comforts your complexion. Powered by nature, the quick-absorbing, blue-coloured formula combines soothing Centella Asiatica Extract and Guaiazulene (a herbal ingredient extracted from Chamomile Oil) to calm redness and irritation. The gentle spot treatment cream creates a thin protective layer over the face to moisturise and defend against environmental stresses. Ideal after sun exposure.

This nourishing moisturiser is formulated with natural plant extracts and oils to soothe inflammation in the skin and reduce redness. It also contains antioxidant vitamins to protect the skin and keep it functioning at its healthiest.

aloe barbadensis leaf extract

Aloe vera has been used for millennia as a natural medicine across many regions of the world, with references as early as Cleopatra using it as part of her beauty routine. It contains around 75 active constituents, including Vitamins A,C & E to provide antioxidant protection, 8 enzymes to inhibit inflammatory processes in the body and 9 different minerals to support the body’s natural functioning. It also includes sugars to provide hydrating humectant properties, fatty acids to provide anti-inflammatory & antiseptic properties, and hormones to promote wound healing. 

Arginine is an amino acid which occurs naturally within the human body. It is a popular ingredient in skincare for a number of reasons; it offers antioxidant protection, it hydrates the skin by stimulating the body's own production of humectants like urea and it can also repair visible skin damage.

Beta Glucans are polysaccharides found naturally in oats, fungi, seaweed and yeast. They are best known for its skin-soothing properties, showing excellent effects at reducing redness and other symptoms of sensitive skin. They do this via barrier-supporting properties, as they form a film on the skin’s surface to offer protection against daily environmental stressors, which can aggravate sensitive skin. They also stimulate macrophage function in the body (immune cells which fight invading bacteria), so offer added benefit to those with already compromised skin barriers more susceptible to bacterial infection, for example ezcema-prone or or drier skin types. Their polysaccharide nature makes them an effective humectant, meaning they can draw water molecules towards them to plump and hydrate the area.

Vitamin C has many skin benefits, including its action as an antioxidant, to neutralise free radicals (reactive molecules with an unpaired electron), preventing them from causing damage to cells within the body. Vitamin C is also involved in the collagen-production process, so provides anti-wrinkle activity through this mechanism. Lastly, Vitamin C inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in melanin-synthesis, and can therefore visibly reduce areas of hyperpigmentation in the skin.

solanum lycopersicum (tomato) fruit extract

Stem cells occur naturally within plants to help regenerate cells after stress or injury, and studies show this can encourage similar regenerating mechanisms in human skin. Tomato stem cells provide antioxidant protection to protect against free radicals, as well as acting as a chelating agent to sequester heavy metals which could result in damage, so overall this ingredient has great protective properties.

Tocopheryl acetate is a specific form of the fat-soluble Vitamin E, with improved stability vs. Tocopherol. Vitamin E is found naturally in our own skin, and it’s main benefit is to offer powerful antioxidant protection against pollution and free radical damage. It also helps to support our skin’s natural lipid barrier, which in turn improves the hydration levels within the epidermis, as water loss through the skin is minimised.

Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Cream is a vegan-friendly cream and was formulated for sensitive skin. It provides moisture throughout day and night for all seasons without causing irritation. The cream also lowers your skin’s temperature, soothing reddish and irritated skin. The Cream works deep within the skin to provide much needed soothing and moisture. Hence, it provides immediate and long-term hydration to help you achieve a more radiant and hydrated complexion.

These nourishing formulas are great for dry skin, and are packed with barrier-supporting ingredients to help the skin retain more moisture naturally.

Nourishing moisturiser picks

A cult classic, this face cream uses Neostrata's signature resurfacing technology to hydrate, whilst gently exfoliating dead cells to minimise fine lines and reveal glowing, plump skin. It uses a blend of polyhydroxy acids (PHAs), which gently dissolve the bonds between the very outermost layer of skin (which is what causes roughness and flaking in dry skin). Hyaluronic acid and glycerin work as hydrators, whilst meadowfoam seed oil, rich in Vitamin E, nourishes the skin and provides natural antioxidant protection.

This rich formula contains a host of nourishing and soothing ingredients and has won multiple awards. It does contain essential oils so best for dry skin, which is not super sensitive.

A top-rated minimalist, nourishing moisturiser formulated with just 7 ingredients, and proven to be suitable for even hypersensitive skin types.

This super rich 5% urea night cream is fantastic for moisturising dry skin. Urea is a naturally occurring humectant in the skin, which pulls water towards it to hydrate and plump the skin.

Sodium hyaluronate is the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid (a polysaccharide which occurs naturally in the body), created to improve the ingredient stability. It works as an extremely powerful humectant, able to attract 1000x its own weight in water, to immediately plump and hydrate the area it is applied to. The body’s own production of hyaluronic acid slows with age, so supplementing this ingredient in topical formulations helps to support the skin’s natural moisture-binding, anti-ageing mechanisms.

I have chosen this toner for you, to add an extra hit of hydration into the skin. It is loaded with hydrating hyaluronic acid, soothing beta glucan and centella asiatica, and a host of vitamins and amino acids to hydrate, soothe and offer antioxidant protection.

copper tripeptide growth factor

Copper peptide (GHK-Cu) is involved in a number of processes in the body: wound healing, collagen synthesis, and as an anti-inflammatory agent. There is evidence to show that the level of this protein in the blood reduces as we age, so including this in our skincare may help to support the body’s natural anti-ageing processes.

glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) root extract

Liquorice is a legume which grows in the Mediterranean, the Middle East & Russia. It contains the active constituent glabridin, which has been shown to prevent and reverse UV-induced skin damage, to provide visible skin-lightening properties to the skin.

Its second active component, Glycyrrhetinic acid is used in skincare for its anti-inflammatory benefits. It works by inhibiting the production of inflammatory substances, such as cortisone, within the body, with some research showing results to be comparable to prescription hydrocortisone cream.

Lysine is used in skincare to treat hyperpigmentation & post-inflammatory acne scarring.

Amino acids are the small building blocks that make up peptides, and proteins. Each amino acid has a unique structure, and as such plays a specific role within the body. There are around 20 different types considered to be most important for human health. In the outer layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, they are present in the ‘natural moisturising factors’, our skin’s own moisturising mechanism, and they help to support water transport between skin cells to keep our surface smooth and hydrated.

Fragrance-free and formulated without any essential oils, this unscented toner from Dear Klairs is a free-from version of the original. Like a toner 2.0 it boasts all of the same skin-nourishing, deep hydration that the original provides but with a slightly lighter texture. Formulated with Hyaluronic Acid – which can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water – it helps to moisturise and nourish skin, whilst also strengthening the skin’s barrier, while also restoring skin’s optimal pH level after cleansing.
