The Exosome Barrier Repair Serum reinforces the skin’s natural barrier.

New from Dr Somji Skincare is the Exosome Barrier Repair Serum which has a lightweight formula to nourish, protect and reinforce the skin’s natural barrier—the protective outer layer that keeps moisture in and irritants out. The product was developed by Dr Somji, cosmetic surgeon and co-founder of the DrMediSpa clinic group, and Henal Somji, medical aesthetician, after noticing that persistent skin concerns, like acne, sensitivity and rosacea, often stem from a weakened skin barrier. The gentle serum contains an impressive line-up of ingredients, including cutting-edge kimchi exosomes, peptides and a trio of restorative ceramides, that work to hydrate, lock in moisture and minimise signs of ageing. It also includes a powerful blend of firming hexapeptides, soothing oat kernel extract and antioxidant-rich pine bark extract to calm irritation, reduce inflammation and promote a youthful complexion.

Jet lag caused by flying across different time zones can cause major sleep disruption. Diso Snooze is a dissolvable sleep aid—strips which dissolve on the tongue—packed with valerian to help you achieve better sleep. When your body isn’t fully rested, your immune system becomes less effective, your mood will suffer, you’ll be more susceptible to stress, and find it tough to concentrate. Diso Snooze strips are simply placed on the tongue to dissolve, making them perfect for on-the-go use. They contain a powerhouse of ingredients to support your sleep cycle, including vitamin B6, which can produce serotonin and sleep neurotransmitters, montmorency cherry, L-theanine, valerian and chamomile to promote sleep.

The Power Up Silk Concentrate is powered by the regenerative qualities of silk protein.

The Power Up Silk Concentrate from This is Silk is a unique skincare product powered by the regenerative qualities of silk protein. You simply add 1-2 drops of the serum into any leave-on skin product and the concentrate delivers enhanced skin hydration, luminosity and a healthier, firmer and smoother appearance. The founder, Sonal Keay, a former barrister, created the brand after she was diagnosed with a rare skin condition at the age of 18. She had developed a chronic skin condition that had made her allergic to sunlight. She discovered silk eased her symptoms, reducing redness and irritation overnight which led to her spending months in the British Library pouring over medical journals and historical texts. Determined to bring this discovery to a wider audience, in her 40s she partnered with a leading professor in cellular regeneration to develop SF-VII®, the UK’s first bioactive silk peptide clinically proven to stimulate collagen, accelerate healing, and strengthen the skin barrier.
