Science Matters: The Plumping Edit
Just like our bodies, our barriers deserve all the love they can get. For this, we’ve brought together some of the most beloved names in beauty to nourish, replenish and plump skin. Making the most of the science-backed products that really deliver, picture nutrient-rich serums, moisture-locking masks, and everything in between. Here to put a spring in our step - and our skin - your routine never looked so beautiful.
What are the best skin plumping ingredients?
There’s nothing that makes us feel better than dewy, hydrated skin - and with the right ingredients, you’ll enjoy your bounciest complexion yet. With a wealth of products at our fingertips to promise all we want and more, we’ve searched high and low for the very best ingredients to deliver real results. Think Hyaluronic Acid, Algae and Peptides to plump, Antioxidants for glow, Ceramides for bounce and Retinol for renewal - plus a host of unique formulas as special as you are.

GLOW RECIPE
Strawberry BHA Pore-Smooth Blur Drops
Best for: An oily, skin-friendly glow
Glow Recipe always serves up the goods, and these blurring drops are no exception. While those of us with oily skin might usually shy away from embracing our natural glow, this BHA and Fruit Enzyme-enriched formula means we don’t have to. Promising a soft-focus finish every time, smooth on pre-makeup application to keep your skin plump and glowing all day long. Our tip tip? Use it with their Plum Plump Moisturiser to dial up the dew even more.

DERMALOGICA
Dynamic Skin Retinol Serum
Best for: Overnight plumping
One of our favorite dermatologist-approved brands for a reason, we turn to Dermalogica whenever we need lasting results - just like this serum. Balancing high-grade Retinol with hydrators like Glycerin, Squalane and Vitamin E means this potent formula puts our barriers first. The result? Plumped, smooth skin come morning - minus the irritation. For a full plumping effect, we recommend alternating with Dermalogica’s Sleep Cocoon Night Gel Cream every other night.

BIOSSANCE
Squalane + Peptide Eye Gel
Best for: Plumped under-eyes
Ever since BIOSSANCE made its way into our baskets a few years ago, we’ve fallen in love with every product; with its combination of Squalane and Peptide, we can safely add this eye gel to the list. Easy-to-use and oh-so effective, just a drop of this gel transforms under-eyes to keep them looking calmer, brighter and more plump. Just make sure you cleanse eyes thoroughly with the brand’s fan favourite Squalane and Amino Aloe Cleanser before applying to reap the full benefits.

NUXE
Reve de Miel Face and Night Cream
Best for: Sensitive skin
When our skin loses bounce, we blame a lack of support for the vital lipids in our skin. But with a comforting saviour like this cream from Nuxe, we don’t need to be. Containing luxurious oils and star ingredient Honey Propolis to replenish the lipids in our skin, we use as a night cream, or slather on as the last step in our routines to lock in hydration. Whatever you decide, all skin types, tones and textures can benefit from this caring formula.

The INKEY List
Peptide Moisturiser
Best for: Barrier support
Skin plumping creams that work don’t always come in the form of expensive formulas. Instead, they look (and feel) like this sellout moisturiser from The INKEY List. The science-backed brand we love for simple, effective formulas, you’ll find Peptides, Betaine and Glycerin coming together to create a light but hardworking daily cream.
