Starfish are phenomenal creatures, with an astonishing regenerative ability (they can quickly re-grow entire ‘limbs’). Although their bodies consist mainly of water, they’re also rich in calcium and proteins (including collagen) which when harvested, have remarkable anti-ageing and reparative properties. Formulated with 70% starfish extract (no starfish are harmed for cosmetic purposes – the huge numbers are ‘culled’ by environmental authorities, to sustain marine equilibrium and permit other species to thrive), alongside hyaluronic acid and elm root extract, this remarkable cream reinforces skin’s natural regenerative processes, while attracting and retaining precious moisture and increasing skin’s strength and elasticity. ‘Shape memory polymers’ have incredible skin firming effect (when you use this cream, it quickly re-establishes a flat, even surface) and organic argan and camellia oils combine to create a moisture-retentive barrier, which protects and sustains skin’s hydration levels.

Apply a small amount (about the size of a pearl) of Returning Starfish Cream to cleansed skin every morning, using the spatula provided. Pat skin gently and repeatedly to optimise absorption (and stimulate blood flow). TIP: Mix a small amount with your favourite foundation or BB cream for a beautiful, luminous dewiness. Please note: The dates printed are these products are 'date of manufacture' - not expiry dates. These dates are an industry requirement in South Korea, but this product is suitable for use within a year after opening

Pioneering the latest, most effective (and often the most extraordinary) ingredients in skin care, where South Korea leads, the rest of the beauty world swiftly follows – which is why we’re über-excited to usher cult Korean brand Mizon into our expertly curated hall of fame. Mizon’s Returning Starfish Cream harnesses the superlative skin cell-regenerative properties of starfish extract – which accelerates cells’ repair and renewal processes, to fortify skin’s fabric and enhance essential elastin and collagen levels. With adenosine – lauded for its ability to optimise cellular energy – and niacinamide, to inhibit melanin synthesis and diminish the appearance of existing age and sunspots, this wages a multi-pronged attack on all the primary signs of skin deterioration. Beta glucan, copper tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 combine to dramatically improve skin tone and texture, while meadowfoam seed, olive and evening primrose oils work to intensively condition and promote skin’s radiance and lustre.
