As the cold season approaches, creams are constantly a vital must-have in every woman’s skincare best practice.

Award winning Fresh luxury perfumes and cosmetics house Lancôme has made a huge impact in the world of beauty. In 2009, its Advanced Génifique collection sold roughly 35 million bottles worldwide and received over 170 awards. The French house has now upgraded the product with a unique complex of seven pre-and probiotic fractions. One drop delivers 30 million pre- and probiotic fractions to the skin and is said to facilitate skin recovery by up to 77 percent an hour after application. 

Next on our list is Belif‘s Ritual Time-Honored Tincture of Chamomile Cream. Belif is known for its heritage ingredients, time-honoured extractions method and anti-stress using its own original fragrance of herbs. This product apparently provides skin restoration and lasting radiance with intensive care for rough and dry skin, which makes it healthy and radiant, especially when used in a three-stage process. 

Known for its next-generation age-defying solutions, Clé de Peau Beauté has launched its Volumizing Cream Supreme, an age-defying innovation inspired by dermatology and regenerative science. This volumising cream helps boost the skin’s natural plumpness, resulting in a firmer, softer, smoother, moisturised and youthful-looking skin. 

Meanwhile, DERM iNSTITUTE marries DNA technology and oriental therapeutic herbs for purportedly unsurpassable results with its Anti-Oxidant Hydration Cream. Rich with antioxidants and ceramides repair ingredients, it apparently helps protect against the winter chill. 

Last but not the least, IT Cosmetics employs the mantra of “Sleep your way to younger-looking skin with it!” with its Confidence in Your Beauty Sleep Night Cream helping to renew your dermis overnight. Its rest-and-restore technology addresses five major skin issues: ageing fine lines, wrinkles, dryness, dullness and firmness. Almost instantaneous results are seen in terms of hydrated, smoother and supple skin. 

“To ward off winter’s drying effects, hydrating creams are an absolute must”
