Hailing from the USA, Adore Cosmetics wants to shatter the idea of skincare as merely slathering creams on your skin, and instead nurture the habit of “adoring” yourself. As such, the brand harnesses the powers of precious ingredients, most notably, stem cells from a rare Swiss apple, to indulge and improve the skin. After all, plant stem cells are quite similar to human stem cells in terms of composition.

On the skin, stem cells account for as much as 7 per cent of total cells, and yet when they’re damaged by elements like pollution or just everyday abuse, they don’t get the chance to regenerate. This leads to all sorts of common skin issues like lack of vitality, lines, and discolourations.

As it happens, Adore Cosmetics offers product lines that address a wide range of skin concerns. Examples are the Vitamin C set that targets discolourations, the Cellmax collection which packs on the collagen, and the Golden Touch line that lends a luminous glow and fights skin ageing.

Additionally, all these products aim to create a holistic treatment environment wherein you’re encouraged to mix and match items to arrive with your very own regimen. A favourite of users is the Adore Icon Edition Beauty Drops Concentrate Night Treatment, whose cocktail of vitamins, essential fatty acids, turmeric extract, evening primrose oil, organic ginseng root extract, organic ivy leaf extract, and organic aloe vera juice softens lines, whitens, brightens, and lifts skin, and replenishes moisture.

Because the men also deserve the same level care for their skin, Adore has a collection of products to repair their skin stem cells while protecting from further damage.

With the new year comes a novel way to pamper yourself.
