It’s a beauty bonanza

All the beautiful things right here

It’s certainly been a year. Most of us would have felt almost every day of it, having spent three and a half months literally locked inside four walls in zoom meetings and in trackpants (we know some of you kept up your style, but some of us really embraced the idea of comfort seeking). Well now we’re free and the silly season is upon us, we have a bonza beauty bonanza for you. These are our latest favourites to add to your Christmas list or just to reward yourself with because…well, do you even need a reason?

ROC Skincare | RRP starting at $20.99

Retinol away the lines that weren’t made from laughter

Retinol, they  (the big beauty experts and dermatologists) say is a must. Retinol can sometimes actually be too harsh for the skin and cause more problems than solve them. Yet Retinol can be harsh on skin and cause irritation, so finding the right one can be a journey seemingly not worth the skin-risk.. Until right now that is. Recently launched in Australia,  America’s #1 retinol moisturiser has landed  here and we are excited.  ROC has a range that is comprehensive, solving for deep wrinkles with intensive creams and also for daily top ups with hyaluronic acid, which is a favourite of ours, because we love efficient product that can do two things at once.   Plus the entire range is clinically proven and oh so affordable. Now stocked at Chemist Warehouse.
