Part cosmetic, part lip care, the Losec
Summa Elixir Golden Lipstick from South Korean brand su:m37° delivers great colour payoff while caring for your puckers. Formulated with the brand’s proprietary ingredients, Cytosis and FermTheriaca, it plumps lips and enhances skin’s reparative abilities. It is also infused with opulent gold, which is reported to slow the depletion of collagen and elastin, has anti-inflammatory properties, and even offer protection against harmful UV rays.Thanks to the moisturising oil that coats the colour pigments, a single swipe gives long-wearing, crease-free colour that doesn’t leave your lips feeling dry.
This gel cleanser points the way to a clearer complexion with salicylic acid and a patented complex comprising grapeseed polyphenols and six essential oils. The first unclogs pores and refines skin texture, while the second inhibits the production of the pimple-causing bacteria, P.acnes. The polyphenols also reduce inflammation, promote wound healing and fight premature skin ageing, while the oils work to soothe, further decongest, tone and tighten skin. Free of sulphates and soap, this leaves skin feeling refreshed and ultra clean, sans unpleasant tautness or dryness.
A lifesaver for urbanites, this gel cleanser, which transforms into a luscious, creamy foam upon contact with moistened skin, helps counter the detrimental effects of pollutants while gently lifting away dirt, impurities and makeup. At its heart are two marine actives: The blue micro-algae, which works on improving skin’s resistance against environmental stressors, and marine salicornia extract, to help skin retain water and strengthen its barrier function, so it is better able to defend against external aggressors.
