If you’re serious about beauty and are keen to try all the tech out there, from firming gadgets to infrared facials and skin assessment apps, DUOLAB should be next on your bookmarks list. The brand takes bespoke, tech-driven skincare to the next level, and it makes sense, given that our skin is the body’s largest organ with a four-week turnover rate. Refusing to subscribe to a one-size-fits-all, DUOLAB works with your skin on any particular day whether it feels dull in the morning or thirsty at night, is suffering from the effects of hormones, or is stressed from environmental factors.

SO HOW DOES IT WORK?

DUOLAB essentially gives you your own skincare laboratory at home by allowing you to mix and match a range of moisturising base layers and concentrated ingredients in one. Simply choose a capsule of your preferred base – a Melting Cream to nourish and plump; a Light Cream for day or a Night Cream that will plump and de-stress skin when it needs an extra boost. Add to that a concentrated, targeted top layer such as hydrating hyaluronic acid or brightening vitamin C to pack in exactly what your skin is craving on any given day.

THE SCIENCE

This is the fun bit. You load your chosen capsules into the DUOLAB device – think of it like a coffee machine but for your face creams – and in just 90 seconds it emulsifies and blends your product, warming it up to the same temperature as the skin (37-42°C) for the best possible absorption. Mixing the capsules and active ingredients moments before they are applied to the skin maximise their potency and effectiveness.

WHO NEEDS IT?

With 20 possible combinations to work with, the DUOLAB offers something for all. Starting with the bases, the Universal Serum is the brand’s crowd-pleaser and is ideal for all skin types. It’s packed full of high and low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acids to add a veil of moisture on top of the skin and keep it locked in below, whilst the Night Cream uses powerful shea butter that’s drenched in natural omega oils, vitamins A and E, polyphenols and fatty acids to reinforce the skin’s barrier, repair dryness and soothe irritation – ideal if your skin isn’t feeling or looking its best.

But it’s the Booster capsules that really mean business. Choose from some of nature’s most potent, skin-loving ingredients – hyaluronic acids and peptides for firming; vitamin C to energise and give the skin a glow; AHAs to refine texture and nurture blemish-prone skin.

These are all chosen on the day depending on the state of your skin, allowing you to really tailor the product to your skin’s needs. It’s been six years in the making from the lab that brought us the multi-award-winning L’Occitane brand, which is famed for its use of ultra-natural ingredients.

Choosing to go natural doesn’t mean these products are less potent. Each capsule contains between 10 and 20% active ingredients, carefully chosen for their scientifically proven benefits on the skin. The clean formulas are also 100% preservative free in order to protect your skin’s microbiome, which, in short, is the micro-organisms (or bacteria) that live on the skin and dictate how healthy it is. Things like preservatives that are found in less natural skincare products are actually designed to destroy all micro-organisms and risk disrupting the natural balance between good and bad bacteria.

THE REVIEWS

The proof really is in the pudding when it comes to DUOLAB’s trials and reviews. The brand has tested the product on over 1,300 women globally and the results are impressive…

A COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY

DUOLAB makes a conscious effort to look after its customers, providers, and the planet. All of their natural ingredients are traceable and responsibly sourced; packaging is fully recyclable through a partnership with Terracycle – the brand cleverly gives your capsule packaging a second life by turning it into outdoor furniture.
They also make your job easy – the cardboard boxes containing your capsules come from sustainably managed forests and can be recycled in your usual paper recycling bin; whilst the capsule pods are recyclable using the postage-paid envelope provided with your purchase. Simple.

They even use 100% green energy in all of their production sites and their devices are guaranteed to last, so it’s not just an investment for your skin but a considered choice when it comes to beauty.
