Four grapeseed-oil skincare products for winter

Be sweet to your skin this winter with these versatile grape seed oil-infused products.

1. Caudalie’s Vinosource Overnight Recovery Oil (HK$380/30ml) and Polyphenol C15 Overnight Detox Oil (also HK$380/30ml) are the latest plant-derived dry oils by the French brand. Rich in omega-6 and polyphenols, which speed up cell renewal and nourish the skin, the grape seed oil is paired with blends of essential oils and plant oils. While the recovery oil is all about healing and strengthening, the detox oil boosts radiance.

2. Caolion's Pore Original Pack (HK$248/100 grams) is formulated to minimise the size of pores and enhance the complexion. The Korean brand believes that unattended pores are the prime cause of all skin problems. Glacier clay and charcoal powder are used to first unclog the pores, by drawing out impurities and excess sebum, then antioxidant grape seed oil, mineral-rich volcanic ash and spear flower extract work to hydrate, soothe and nourish skin.

3. Futuresse’s Luxurious Day Care (HK$3,980/50ml) claims to improve skin elasticity and diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. While the hero ingredient is the Myanmese lotus blossom extract, which promotes skin regeneration, the natural oils of grape seed and peach kernel, wheat protein, hyaluronic acid and algae extract all play a role in stimulating the production of collagen as well as firming and moisturising skin. It is available exclusively at The Swank, The Landmark, Central, tel: 2810 0769.

4. Cowshed's Grumpy Cow Uplifting Shower Scrub (HK$560/200ml) belongs to a collection of five scrubs from the British spa brand. Each one is infused with a unique blend of essential oils and natural scrub particles, designed to enhance different moods. Knackered Cow is said to be relaxing; Wild Cow invigorating; while Grumpy Cow buffs the body with bamboo and uplifts the senses with mandarin, petitgrain, grapefruit and grape seed essential oils, which also moisturise and revitalise tired skin.
