ENCAPSULATED ACTIVES Skin Proud Proud Pods

€15.95/30 capsules, www.iamproud.com and Boots

Boots pharmacies and the store’s website is where you’ll find this K-beauty brand that is very affordable. Its formulas — stick skincare, jelly and gel-creme textures — are all popular. This new launch is a bargain at the price. The capsules contain 100% squalane — a plant-derived serum that mimics squalene, the skin’s natural lubricant from sebum. This is great for dry or mature skin to replace lost moisture, soothe and repair. In comparison to hyaluronic acid, squalane is better for drier skin types.
