Hydrate Lightweight Moisturiser

This ultra-lightweight moisturiser has been formulated with peptide technology and squalane to soften, firm, and hydrate the skin without clogging pores. It’s packaged in an airless pump to ensure that it stays fresh and active. Blended with tri- and tetra-peptide technology and vegan squalane, this highly absorbent formulation softens, firms, and hydrates the skin without build-up.

Pure Hyaluronic Serum

This serum is highly absorbent and fragrance-free, formulated with hyaluronic acid across multiple molecular weights to instantly plump up the skin, lock in moisture, and reveal a smooth and hydrated complexion. It’s a 98% natural formulation that blends healing natural extracts with multiple molecular weight hyaluronic acid. It’s formulated with plant-based supporting ingredients so that it glides onto the skin and sinks straight in, without leaving a sticky or tacky residue.

Vitamin C 2-Phase Serum

This serum is an intense blend of vitamin C and natural extracts that creates dramatically brighter-looking, firmer skin and visibly smooths the complexion. Made with three types of high-performance vitamin C, this serum allows the skin to get superior vitamin C benefits without irritation. Innovative two-phase pump technology mixes a vitamin C-rich water phase with a super lightweight oil phase to deliver one perfect dose of serum.

Superstar Retinoid Night Oil

This luxurious retinoid night oil is blended with fast-acting retinol in a base of cold-pressed, organic and steam-distilled oils. It diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while nourishing and hydrating the skin. It’s a luxurious formulation that combines fast-acting and absorbent retinoids so that the actives are effective at a low concentration, and the risk of irritation is eliminated without compromising the benefits. Supported by a base of cold-pressed grape seed oil, Superstar feels light and nourishing on the skin.

Last but not least: Double cleansing

If you haven’t started double cleansing yet, let this be the season you start because we can guarantee you won’t look back. Start off with the ERASE Balm Cleanser to melt away any make-up or remnants of the day and hydrate the skin, and then go in with the 100% natural, non-foaming RENEW Gel Cleanser that serves to improve skin tone, tighten pores, and leave skin hydrated and illuminated.

Pestle & Mortar is available in stores nationwide and can be bought online and in their flagship store in Kildare Village.
