Hard-working products that fake a deliciously peaceful night’s sleep get a huge thumbs up from me. This week I was excited to try out RoC’s new Hydra+ Anti Fatigue range which national training manager for J&J adult skincare Nico Thirion describes as ‘eight hours of sleep in a tube’.

Aimed at tackling oxidative stress (think sun and pollution that cause free radicals that on contact with your skin cells cause oxidative damage) that often means a dull, dehydrated and uneven complexion that may feel tight. In other words, tired-looking and lack-lustre skin.

Nico recommends this range for office workers in particular and also – if you’re wedded to your usual skincare products, as a twice year booster program to strength skin against climate changes. If you like the sound of this, use in autumn and spring as a preparation for winter and summer.

What’s in the range? A light cream ideal for daily use (Hydra+ Anti-Fatigue Light, R225), a creamy night cream (Hydra+ Anti-Fatigue Nourishing Cream, R225) and a wake-up-me (and quickly) eye cream (Hydra+ Anti-Fatigue Eye Cream, R165). Call 0860 410032 for stockists.
