The Perfect Holiday Gifts, as Recommended by a Plastic Surgeon

The Perfect Holiday Gifts, as Recommended by a Plastic Surgeon

Our gift guide


Picking a gift for a loved one can be stressful; how should one go about selecting something that is both thoughtful and practical while reflecting the recipient’s personal taste? That’s especially true when it comes to skincare. After all, individual concerns and skin goals can vary. We therefore enlisted the help of our co-founders, Dr. Yannis and Eva Alexandrides.


As a world-renowned plastic and reconstructive surgeon with more than 30 years of experience, the dialogue with patients in London’s 111 Harley Street clinic – the epicenter of Dr Yannis’ practice and aesthetic excellence across the UK – informed his gift suggestions. Eva also constantly engages with thousands of customers across multiple touch points – from in person events to social media. So finding the best solutions to achieve a healthy, radiant-looking complexion is her forte. 


Here are Dr. Yannis and Eva’s perfect holiday gifts.


DR. YANNIS RECOMMENDS:

Black Diamond Eye Cream, Black Diamond Serum, Black Diamond Eye Mask


“This holiday season, I recommend gifting from our Black Diamond Collection. Not only is it the most advanced anti-aging solution within our assortment, but the inclusion of black diamond powder within all products of this range enhances the absorption of active ingredients into the skin. That means these products feel incredibly luxurious but also penetrate deep into the skin to achieve powerful results. Finally, our proprietary NAC Y² complex, proven to boost collagen and rejuvenate the skin, really makes these products a daily staple in your routine."




"Use the Black Diamond Serum and Eye Cream twice daily, morning and night, for smoother, firmer skin. Add the Black Diamond Eye Mask 2-3 times per week for 20 minutes to plump fine lines while brightening the under-eye area.”


EVA RECOMMENDS:

Repair Serum, All Day Radiance Face Mist, Cryo Revitalising Moisturiser

Repair Serum


“Our brand started with the invention of the Repair Serum, a highly effective product to support your skin every day. Leveraging our proprietary ingredient complex NAC Y2 to boost skin regeneration and rejuvenation, it’s no surprise the serum is a hero within my own routine, and an absolute bestseller. You essentially can’t go wrong with it.


All Day Radiance Face Mist


“Another staple in your routine should be the All Day Radiance Face Mist. Powered by pre- and postbiotics, the mist is my go-to for on-the-go hydration, giving you an instant, healthy glow. I love to use it as the last step of my skincare routine, as a finishing spray after applying makeup or as a top-up throughout the day. Super versatile!”


Cryo Revitalising Moisturiser


“Finally, I would recommend our latest innovation - the Cryo Revitalising Moisturiser. I’m already a fan of cryotherapy; and this gel-cream mimics its effects on the skin, including an energised, awakened and much more sculpted complexion. Who wouldn’t want that, especially in the morning or after a workout? The moisturiser does some heavy lifting itself, too. In fact, it is clinically proven to increase skin firmness by 47% after just two weeks.”
