MY FAVOURITE CRUELTY FREE SERUMS FOR ALL SKIN TYPES
A review of my favourite serums
EXUVIANCE SKINRISE MORNING GLOW POLYHYDROXY PADS £41
Best for dual purpose
-
As as being a serum that’s nourishing and kind to skin these work by ALSO exfoliating and renewing the skin with Polyhydroxy Acids and multi vitamins. People ALWAYS comment on how healthy my skin looks when I’ve used these.
-
I chop each pad into quarters and use 1/4 over the whole of my face in the morning every 4 days or so as an exfoliating and repairing treatment.
-
All skin types but particularly sensitive due to the Polyhydroxy Acid ( it exfoliates gently as well as repairs ). I use these on clients who have tired, congested or lacklustre skin.
-
HAEKELS ALGAE PLUMP SERUM £28
Best for calming and hydrating all skin types
-
It’s crammed full of very clever hydrators and skin calming antioxidants. Stimulates the production of ceramides ( they keep our skin healthy and plump ). Its also fragrance free and lightweight.
-
Since they changed their packaging I hold one finger over the smaller hole and shake two drops out and spread over my face before moisturiser. I do this once to twice a day depending on how dry I feel.
-
Those with any sensitivity to more aggressive skincare products. Its high tech skincare that utilises the best of nature.
-
FACE THEORY HYLAFECTA 2% HYALURONIC ACID SERUM £22
Best for ezcema prone skin
-
As well as helping strengthen the skins barrier function, it reduces the appearance of anxiety-related skin inflammation and stress-induced signs of ageing. Fragrance free.
-
Apply half to one full pipette of the serum morning and night to the whole of your face depending on your needs.
-
Perfect for eczema and dermatitis sufferers and those with sensitive inflammatory skin concerns.

DERMALOGICA RAPID REVEAL PEEL £75
Best for a quick pro peel at home
-
Fragrance free, non irritating Lactic Acid peel you can do at home. If you have sensitive oily skin its great. Leave on for 1-2 minutes only. Any longer and you’ll cause some damage.
-
I have sensitive skin and use half a tube on my forehead every month as part of an at home multi treatment facial. Do not keep on a sensitive skin for longer than 1 minute. If in doubt consult a Dermatologist or Aesthetician. Please don’t use if you have psoriasis, eczema or rosacea.
-
Normal to Oily. Sensitive can use but please limit the dose and duration. If in doubt, consult a Dermatologist or Aesthetician.

BY SARAH LONDON VITAMIN C+E OIL
Best for protecting dry skin during winter and using with SPF
-
It’s a lightweight, fragrance free oil that’s suitable for skin in recovery from cancer treatment among many other things ( the brand was born from one of the owner’s cancer journey ). Protects against dark spots and pigmentation using sustainable plant oils.
-
I tend to use mine at night, post bath, mainly in Winter when my skin needs more protection and nourishment. You can use it during the day.
-
Any really. It’s great for skin that has undergone huge trauma and skin that is very sensitive to fragrant, heavier oils and perfume. It’s the first oil I’ve ever been able to use that soothes my skin rather than making it feel tired, tight and itchy.
