Sisley Black Rose Skin Infusion Cream ($240)
Containing extracts from three types of roses, this moisturiser offers the same plumping, smoothing and radiance-enhancing benefits as its cream-mask counterpart, which is reportedly France’s top- selling mask. An unusual water-in-oil emulsion, it breaks down upon application into dew-like micro-water droplets to deliver a refreshing yet comforting feel.
By Terry Cellularose Hydra-comfort Aqua Balm ($155)
This balm with a sorbet-like texture has rose native cells (which are able to reproduce themselves) to boost the skin barrier so as to hydrate and brighten your complexion.
Lancome Absolue Precious Cells Advanced Regenerating and Repairing Care SPF15 ($390)
Rose hip oil and damask rose extract help promote skin’s regenerating and healing processes. The product also has CO2 rose extract, obtained through environmentally-friendly cold distillation, which reportedly better preserves the active ingredient to improve its efficacy.
The Herb Farm Nourishing Rose Face Cream ($49)
Based on New Zealand herbalist Lynn Kirkland’s 30 years’ worth of botanical knowledge, it delivers all-day hydration and helps to improve the skin’s natural production of protective oils.
