NIOD Hydration Vaccine

NIOD (Non Invasive Options in Dermal Science) is part of the DECIEM conglomerate of brands that also includes The Ordinary and The Chemistry Brand, founded by Mr Brandon Truaxe. The skincare maverick has been credited with disrupting the industry with his fluff-free, results-driven approach to cosmetics.

Dubbed as ‘skincare for the hyper-educated’, NIOD’s target market is the educated groomer – he who will not be put off by highfalutin names such as Sanskrit Saponins (an intensely deep cleanser) and RE: Pigment (a radiating serum). Whether you care to understand the science behind the label or not, these products really do work and will transform your daily routine. Ease in with the Hydration Vaccine, a brightening moisturising serum for daily use.

Suaanne Kaufmann is lauded for her luxurious, unique lotions made up of natural ingredients, foraged on the foothills of the Austrian Alps.

Vetiver Extraordinaire Shave Cream & After Shave Balm

The French master perfumer Frédéric Malle compares a razor blade gliding through shaving cream to ‘a great skier carving their way with precision down a ski slope’. The ski slope in question is a rich and fluffy, aromatic cream, gently scented with signature Vetiver Extraordinaire and topped with soothing menthol. Follow-up with Malle’s cooling aftershave balm for a fresh, invigorating shave.

B & Tea Balancing Toner

One final crowd-pleaser? This gentle everyday toner by Aesop, so-called for its blend of Provitamin B5 and Green Tea extract that deftly work together to leave skin soft and smooth. This refreshing lotion helps to minimise pores and assist with cell turnover to improve skin tone and elasticity. Use daily prior to moisturising.
