Summary

Happy New Year! We’re kicking off 2025 with an ode to facialists, as we put esthetician-developed skincare lines to the test. Listen in to find out which formulas really work - from the best hyperpigmentation serums to acne-busting treatments, at-home resurfacing peels and more.

Tune in to hear about:

The made-in-Korea Vitamin C serum designed by ”Paris’ Most-Wanted Facialist,” whose clients include Caroline de Maigret and Lou Doillon
Straight from the UK, a cashmere-like SPF favoured by Victoria Beckham
The skincare “polish” reboot developed by a Gen Z esthetician/influencer with over one million followers
The Sabrina-Carpenter-approved gentle exfoliating mask that’s like a shot of espresso for our face, ha!
A glycolic-acid based cleanser that Hollywood celebs have relied on to keep skin clear since 1994 (including Kendall Jenner, most recently)
The $$$ sheet mask developed by Queen of Estheticians, Joanna Czech
