All about the eyes

Elemental Herbology has introduced Vital Eyes, an energising eye roller serum to combat dull and tired skin that is prone to pigmentation. Infused with a powerful blend of patented actives and botanicals, the treatment works to brighten, hydrate and depuff the delicate eye area. The formula contains meiview, a bacterial ferment complex that helps to firm up the delicate skin around the eyes, reduce dark circles and diminish puffiness. Kombucha, rich in probiotics and antioxidants, is present to fortify and plump the skin. Niacinamide improves pigmentation, boosts radiance and aids natural skin repair, while vitamin C boosts collagen production to create a smoother and brighter appearance. Hyaluronic acid is included to maintain skin hydration and prevent moisture loss, also reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to plump the skin and make it supple. The new eye care products are part of the brand’s Earth Vitality skincare collection and are vegan-friendly, SLS- and silicone-free. www.elementalherbology.com

Total clarity

Murad has launched Daily Clarifying Peel, an alcohol-free, multi-action exfoliating peel that combines three potent ingredients – an AHA, a BHA, and a retinoid – to improve the appearance of pores and smooth the skin’s texture for a clearer complexion. When shaken, this new bi-phase peel blends a resurfacing retinoid and glycolic acid with salicylic acid to form a unique combination that gently but effectively clarifies pores and improves surface cell turnover, leaving the skin looking smoother with a more refined texture. As oily skin benefits from hydration too, the peel is infused with refreshing hydrators to help prevent dryness and promote balance. The daily treatment also includes avocado extract, which helps to calm the skin and reduce shine. Suitable for oily, combination, balanced and dry skin, the brand recommends its use after cleansing. Shake well, dispense onto a cotton pad and sweep over the face and do not rinse. A slight tingling may occur, but Murad assures users that this is normal. www.murad.co.uk

Lucious lashes

Mii has introduced a new premium treatment mascara to its professional range of cosmetics. SuperBoost Lash Lover has been expertly created to encourage visibly longer, fuller lashes, promising results in two weeks with regular use. Encapsulated in a sleek black tube, the two-in-one lash treatment acts as both a protecting primer and a colour-defining mascara. Featuring an enriching blend of nourishing oils, conditioning panthenol and active peptides, each individual lash is left more resilient against breakage and visibly longer thanks to the active ingredient, Widelash. The natural fibres in the serum comprise a combination of cellulose and orange that gently glide onto each lash, adding length and volume. Mii SuperBoost Lash Lover is ophthalmologist approved and is suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. www.miicosmetics.com
