Hero: Effaclar Duo Plus

Why: The original blemish-banishing

formulation launched in 2009, with

the new Plus version released in

2014. Loved not
      just by French
      pharmacies, it is
      the brand’s top
      seller in the UK and
      one is sold every
      10 seconds in
      Europe. Consultant
      dermatologist Dr
      Justine Hextall
      explains the
      key actives are
      “niacinamide,
      which helps
      by reducing
      inflammation and
      controlling oil;
      and lipo-hydroxy
      and salicylic
      acids which
      unclog blocked
      pores.” Glycerin
      is the effective
      humectant, as a
      “calm, hydrated
      skin barrier is so
      important when
      trying to reduce
      inflammation.”
      £12 from Boots,
      73 Piccadilly

of the Collagen System set, as it

can be used on eczema, psoriasis

or acne-prone skin. “I start many

people on this for about 12 weeks,

after which they can move on to

the more active version of the set.”

£199 from Liberty, Regent Street

Why: The brand was started in

1986 by Dr Erich Schulte, who

discovered the beneficial effects

of collagen for anti-aging when

working with severe burn victims.
