BOOST LAB BUILDS ON VIRAL NECK SERUM SUCCESS WITH NEW PRO-LIFT CREAM
We spend plenty of time investing in our skincare routines, but the neck and décolletage are often forgotten – even though they’re among the first areas to reveal the signs of ageing.
Following the runaway success of its viral Neck Serum, BOOST LAB has expanded its targeted neck care range with the new Pro-Lift Neck & Décolletage Cream. Created to help visibly lift, firm and smooth delicate skin, the luxurious formula combines collagen amino acids, peptide technology, kangaroo paw flower nectar extract and an algae-derived firming complex to help redefine the neck and jawline.
The cream targets the appearance of wrinkles, crepey skin and loss of firmness, with visible improvements reported within hours and continued results over time. Suitable for both morning and evening use, it can also be paired with BOOST LAB’s Neck Firming Serum for an extra boost.
Dee: “I’ve been using the Pro-Lift Neck & Décolletage Cream for a few weeks now, and I’ve definitely noticed a positive difference. It’s become a simple step in my morning and evening routine, and I love how luxurious it feels without being heavy. My neck is loving the extra care!”
If your skincare routine currently stops at your chin, this might be the gentle reminder your neck has been waiting for.

ELIZABETH ARDEN’S NEWEST INNOVATION IN SKIN RENEWAL, THE CERAMIDE SKIN RENEWING CLEANSER
This is a gorgeous and effective cleanser that does more than clean!
We all know that a great skincare routine starts with a great cleanser, and the latest launch from Elizabeth Arden has been designed to do much more than simply wash the day away.
The new Ceramide Skin Renewing Cleanser transforms from a silky gel into a soft foam, effortlessly removing makeup, sunscreen and daily impurities while helping to restore the skin’s natural moisture balance. Enriched with a nourishing ceramide complex and amino acids, it leaves skin feeling soft, refreshed and comfortable – never tight or stripped.
What sets it apart is its ability to prepare your skin for the products that follow, helping serums and moisturisers absorb more effectively. Think of it as the perfect first step to getting the most from the rest of your skincare routine.
Dee: “I absolutely love this cleanser! My new fav!”
