Meet The Skincare Products Everyone Is Talking About
Created in partnership with DR. BARBARA STURM MOLECULAR COSMETICS
NICK HADDOW
The Founder...
Upon launching her first facial and bespoke face creams in the early 2000s, Dr. Sturm quickly became the beauty industry's best-kept secret. An aesthetics doctor with a background in sports medicine, she’s always taken a holistic, anti-inflammatory approach, believing that if you can combat the latter – through skincare and a healthy lifestyle – you’re guaranteed to see results. Her ground-breaking ‘blood plasma facial’ – or what is now known as the ‘vampire facial’ – was famously featured on Kim Kardashian's Instagram, before dropping a full line-up of skincare in 2011.
Now stocked in 52 countries globally, Dr. Sturm's collection of products have gained global recognition and a cult following, with every formulation based on her learnings in medicine – hence why ‘science’ interests her more than words like ‘organic’ or ‘clean’. Trust us when we say each product works to improve the quality of your skin’s barrier function, replenishing it for more supple, smoother-looking skin with zero aggravation.
The Science-Led Formulas…
Everything has been carefully formulated using both cruelty and paraben-free ingredients that are gentle enough for all skin types. You’ll find most formulas are brimming with ingredients like purslane, rice starch, tea tree oil, aloe vera and prickly pear, all of which boast scientific credentials for stimulating and re-energising the skin. What makes the brand truly unique, however, is its anti-inflammatory approach, with skincare that optimally heals, hydrates and renews your skin for a healthier complexion.
The Range Worth The Hype…
There’s a lot to love from Dr. Sturm’s Molecular Cosmetics range – notably the Hyaluronic Serum which contains multiple weights of the moisture-grabbing molecule to encourage maximum hydration and glow.
Plus, the Super Anti-Aging Collection is ideal for those looking to get ahead of fine lines, lighten sun spots and even out tone. Of the range, Dr. Sturm says: “I developed my Super Anti-Aging Collection with potent active ingredients backed by science and research to boost elasticity, hydration and firmness. The ingredients strengthen the skin’s natural repair systems for younger, smoother and healthier-looking skin.”
