Time for retinol. Winter is the ideal time to start a serious anti-wrinkle protocol, because the skin is less exposed to the sun. Lierac Paris launches a two-step series: The first is Le Filler, an SOS treatment that fills and blurs wrinkles immediately thanks to hyaluronic acid in different molecular weights. The effect lasts about three hours. The second step is a pure retinol cream at a concentration of 0.3%, designed for long-term treatment – encouraging collagen production and improving skin texture. In clinical trials, a 73% reduction in the number of wrinkles was measured after three months.
Price: NIS 169 for the filler, NIS 359 for the cream. Available at cosmeticians and on the brand’s website.
Orchids and algae. After a summer full of sun, it’s time to treat the damage. A firming anti-aging moisturizing cream by Il Makiage, which combines active ingredients to firm and smooth the skin.
The formula includes niacinamide to reduce pores, orchid extract that is supposed to improve skin firmness and blur fine lines, and red algae that helps with cell renewal. The cream is intended for morning and evening application, and it is vegan, dermatologically tested, and also suitable for sensitive skin.
Price: NIS 369 for 50 ml, available at the brand’s stores.
Wrap the body in butter. A rich butter cream from Laline’s Vegan Collagen+Vitamin C series, designed to rescue winter-dry skin. The formula is based on vegan plant-derived pro-collagen, vitamin C, and shea and mango butters that are supposed to increase moisture levels.
It also contains aloe vera extract and botanical oils such as jojoba, grape seed, and calendula, aimed at improving skin elasticity and soothing it. Suitable for daily use during the cold season.
Price: NIS 139.90, available at the Laline chain.
Not just for the face. So while our faces get serums, vitamin C, and all kinds of pampering treatments, the body is left with a regular lotion? Vaseline decided to close the gap with the Gluta-Glow series – serum lotions for the body that are already making a sensation in East Asia.
The series includes three products with powerful antioxidants (10 times more than vitamin C, according to the claim) and niacinamide: One for glow, one for even tone, and one for nighttime nourishment. The idea is to give the body the same level of care that the face receives – especially in winter when the skin dries out.
Price: NIS 26.20, available at Super-Pharm.
Massage it in. The cold winter pulls the skin downward, and the Swiss brand Juvena offers a solution with the JUVENA - Epigen Set – a lifting day cream that comes in a package with a massage roller.
The idea is to sharpen facial contours, which tend to blur during this time of year, and provide a more lifted appearance. The roller is supposed to help absorption and stimulate blood flow – a perfect treatment for a cold morning.
Price: NIS 283 for 50 ml. Available on the Lilit Cosmetics website.
The perfect duo. Dr. Fischer’s “U-Lactin” moisturizing series is a must in the dry, cold winter. The series combines niacinamide at a concentration of 5% and includes two products: A fragrance-free cream for face and body that is supposed to last up to 72 hours, and a lotion with a delicate scent that promises moisture for 48 hours.
Both products are intended for normal to dry skin and have passed a sensitivity test, making them suitable also for sensitive skin. Among other things, they also help blur pigmentation spots after summer and soothe the skin. A great option for those looking for daily winter moisture at a reasonable price.
Price: NIS 60.90, available at pharmacy chains.
Add oil. The lips are the first to suffer from the cold, dry winter, and Pupa Milano offers a solution that is both skincare and makeup: The Pleasure Lip Oil series combines 81% ingredients of natural origin with fruity scents – watermelon, papaya, strawberry, and cherry.
Each shade contains a different dedicated oil: Watermelon seeds for elasticity, papaya rich in antioxidants, strawberry against dryness, and cherry for plumping. The texture melts onto the lips without leaving stickiness and gives a three-dimensional shine. Basically, it’s a beautiful alternative to regular lip gloss – more nourishing and less plastic.
Price: NIS 89, available at Super-Pharm and on the Lilit Cosmetics website.
The foundation for everything. Crema launches two skincare products designed to simplify the winter routine: A multi-purpose cream suitable for body, face, and hands (93% natural ingredients), and a richer body butter for deep nourishment (97% natural ingredients).
The cream is enriched with vitamin E, shea butter, jojoba oil, and aloe vera, and absorbs quickly. The butter includes a complex of murumuru and shea butters. Both products are dermatologically tested, vegan, and paraben-free.
Price: NIS 24.90, for 200 ml. Available at pharmacy and retail chains.
