“Daydreamer is a paraben-free body serum built around a biomimetic peptide-sapphire complex, tripeptide-28, paracress extract and plant-derived squalane. The supporting actives include green coffee oil for antioxidant benefits and prebiotic inulin to balance the skin’s microbiome. Preserved with phenoxyethanol and gentle plant-derived alternatives, the formula is also free from sulphates and phthalates.”

“A widely recommended, paraben-free creamy cleanser formulated for normal to dry skin. The formula combines three essential ceramides (1, 3 and 6-II) with hyaluronic acid and glycerin to cleanse while protecting the skin’s barrier. It is fragrance-free and developed with dermatologists, making it a reliable everyday option for those who want effective cleansing without surfactant-driven stripping.”

“A paraben-free daily face moisturiser designed to support the skin barrier through a combination of ceramide-3, niacinamide, glycerin and prebiotic thermal spring water. The texture is lightweight enough for daily use under SPF and dense enough to feel substantial on dry skin. The formula has been the subject of multiple dermatology studies and is suitable for sensitive skin.”

“A paraben-free hydrating serum that combines three forms of hyaluronic acid at different molecular weights, allowing for hydration across multiple layers of the skin. Vitamin B5 in the form of panthenol supports soothing and barrier repair. The serum remains one of the most accessible ways to introduce meaningful hydration into a routine without adding fragrance or fillers.”

“A paraben-free serum formulated for sensitive and reactive skin, combining hyaluronic acid, ceramides NP, AP and EOP, beta-glucan, willow herb extract and feverfew flower extract. The formula soothes visible redness, supports the skin barrier and improves comfort over time. It is fragrance-free, non-irritating and works well as a daily supportive layer beneath any moisturiser.”

“Bioderma’s iconic micellar water is paraben-free, fragrance-free and formulated specifically for sensitive skin. The mild surfactant micelles lift away make-up, sunscreen and impurities without rinsing, supported by cucumber extract for its soothing properties. It remains a popular dermatology recommendation, particularly for reactive skin or when a low-effort second cleanse is needed.”

“A paraben-free, fragrance-free gel-cream built around sodium hyaluronate, designed to deliver lightweight hydration without heaviness or oiliness. The formula is suitable for normal to combination skin and works well as a daytime moisturiser layered under SPF. Its gel texture absorbs quickly and is comfortable for those who find traditional creams too rich.”

“A long-running dermatologist favourite for very dry, eczema-prone or compromised skin. The paraben-free, fragrance-free formula combines colloidal oatmeal, shea butter, allantoin and ceramide-3, and works equally well on the face and body. It is rich enough to address visible dryness while remaining cosmetically wearable and has become a routine essential for many people with sensitive skin.”

“A paraben-free moisturiser built around a substantial peptide blend that includes sh-Oligopeptide-1, sh-Polypeptide-1, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 and copper palmitoyl heptapeptide-14. The formula also includes amino acids, sodium hyaluronate and marula oil to support hydration and barrier function. The cream is fragrance-free, silicone-free and essential oil-free and is designed to deliver visible firmness and resilience over time.”

“A paraben-free, fragrance-free booster serum built around Vichy’s mineral-rich volcanic water and hyaluronic acid.
