As temperatures drop and central heating dries the air, skin can start to look flat, dull and a little less bouncy, so November is the perfect time to focus on plumpness, firmness and glow. From a peptide-packed serum to an overnight mask and a pamper-at-home set, here are four collagen-inspired skincare favourites to try this November.
1. The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + Copper Peptides 1% Serum 30ml
The do-it-all pick for mature skin that wants a smoother, firmer-looking complexion.
- Formula: A blend of peptides, including 1% copper peptides, supported by amino acids and hyaluronic acid for a hydration boost.
- Benefits: Promotes the illusion of a smooth, collagen-rich complexion, diminishes the look of fine lines, visibly firms and brightens, and helps protect against environmental aggressors.
- Good to know: Use it morning and night, applying a few drops to the face. Patch testing is advised before use.
2. SkinCeuticals Collagen Peptide Pro Solution Serum 30ml
The smoothing pick for softening fine lines and uneven texture with collagen technology.
- Formula: Blended with collagen technology that dispenses evenly across the skin, plus tripeptides and glycerin to attract and retain moisture.
- Benefits: Encourages firmer, more youthful-looking results and helps brighten dull, lacklustre-looking skin for a dewy, healthy look.
- Good to know: Use twice daily, pressing 4 to 6 drops gently into clean skin. In the morning, apply it after a SkinCeuticals antioxidant and follow with sunscreen.
3. LANEIGE Bouncy and Firm Sleeping Mask 60ml
The overnight pick for waking up to plumped, glowy-looking skin.
- Formula: A melting sorbet texture with hydro-powered capsules and the brand’s Peony & Collagen Complex, alongside hyaluronic acid and peptides.
- Benefits: Helps retain moisture for up to 24 hours, softens the look of fine lines and nurtures the skin barrier for a stronger, more supple appearance.
- Good to know: It has a sweet-floral peony scent for a calming bedtime moment, and it comes in 25ml and 60ml sizes.
4. BeautyPro SPA at Home: The Glow Edit
The treat-yourself pick for a spa evening at home when the weather keeps you indoors.
- Formula: A set of three masks: a Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Mask, a Detoxifying Bubbling Cleansing Sheet Mask and an Eye Therapy Under Eye Mask infused with green tea and aloe vera, with hydrolyzed collagen in its ingredient list.
- Benefits: Hydrates, deep cleanses and helps reduce the appearance of puffiness and dark circles for a refreshed, glowing finish.
- Good to know: The hydrating mask is a 15-minute treatment, and the set is a budget-friendly way to try a full at-home pamper routine.
Whether you want a peptide serum, a collagen-technology treatment, an overnight mask or a full at-home spa set, these four picks make it easy to bring bounce and glow back to your skin this November.
