Trilogy Pro-Collagen+, £34.50

Trilogy’s Pop Boosters keep Vitamin C sealed in the cap until you’re ready to activate it. You then simply pop the cap to release the Vitamin C into the base serum, shake to blend, attach the pipette, and apply morning and night for up to 4 weeks for the ultimate short-term, results-driven skin boost.

We love the Pro-Collagen+ treatment, which supports firmness and skin resilience. Fresh 6% pure vitamin C works alongside collagen amino acids made from upcycled microalgae, a rose bioactive and a retinol-like peptide to help improve elasticity and bounce.

Fresh 2% pure vitamin C works alongside polyglutamic acid and multi-weight hyaluronic acid for deep, lasting hydration, while aloe vera and prebiotic microalgae help calm and support the skin barrier.

Evera Nutrition Inner Beauty, £59.99

Evera Nutrition Inner Beauty is a cutting-edge supplement designed to outsmart the “zombie cells”—senescent cells that accelerate ageing by driving inflammation and breaking down collagen. Unlike traditional collagen boosters, it targets the root causes of inflammaging by combining collagen support with senomorphic ingredients (like vitamin C and polyphenols) to suppress SASP inflammation, block glycation damage, and protect mitochondria for healthier, more resilient skin from within.

Current Body Red Light Led Mask, £399

Had a little too much sun this summer? Worried about the effect on your complexion? Maybe it’s time to consider red light therapy. There are a lot of red light LED masks on the market now, but Current Body is still the name synonymous with results and reliability. And it makes sense that if you’re going to commit your precious time to a new habit, you want to give it the best chance of working. The Series 2 claims to reduce wrinkles and improve plumpness in just 8 weeks – I’m three weeks in, and I’m starting to see improvement. What’s more, my rosacea has all but disappeared. The snugly fitting, supple silicone mask makes treatment as easy as possible while 3 highly precise wavelengths: red (633nm), near-infrared (830nm) and deep near-infrared (1072nm) are sure to maximise results.
