The skincare business is booming as never before. But Aesop’s B Triple C Facial Balancing Gel, which recently celebrated its 20-year anniversary, still stands out as one of the best moisturisers there is – even in a beauty market with an unquenchable thirst for the new and the next cult product.
For those who are already fans of the gel moisturiser, why it holds up as a classic need not be explained. Anyone who hasn’t thought to try it yet should give it a whirl as part of their summertime regime. Its intensely hydrating yet mattifying effect is a tonic to heat and humidity, which can ramp up the skin’s oil production to a less-than-desirable effect. (Although, oily and acne-prone skin types should reach for its signature amber glass jar all year round).
