Ecological Compound, $275 for 125ml 

This French brand was founded in 1976, and just four years later, it came up with its first iconic product. Ecological Compound is a moisturiser that has had the same recipe for more than 35 years, with centella asiatica as its main ingredient. The extracts of this plant are said to boost collagen production. The moisturiser also has extracts of horsetail, ginseng and rosemary to soothe skin and stimulate it to generate new cells. That must be why it continues to fly off the shelves – globally, one bottle is sold every minute. Insider tip: Hide it from Hubby – it’s very popular with men as an aftershave.
