L'Officiel Beauty Awards 2020: Best Anti-ageing Toner
MT Metatron MT Essential Lotion, $117 for 150ml
If, like us, you like your skincare to go above and beyond, then you’re going to love the MT Metatron MT Essential Lotion. Not only does it instantly envelop your complexion with a veil of moisture to smooth and soften the appearance of fine lines, it also has a plethora of nourishing and anti-ageing ingredients to lift and firm, leaving your skin more resilient and youthful-looking.
“I love the lush texture of the lotion that is packed with skin-nourishing ingredients to improve skin texture and sustain moisture,” says makeup artist Larry Yeo.
The lotion’s star ingredient is Carnosine, which helps to boost collagen production to give you a more youthful, bouncy complexion. “The efficacy of Carnosine has been evaluated in a number of in vivo and in vitro studies,” says dermatologist Dr Teo Wan Lin. “It has shown a positive effect on stimulating fibroblasts, which are the cells responsible for producing collagen. In the context of anti-ageing, Carnosine has a proven beneficial effect.” Carnosine also prevents glycation – which affects skin elasticity and causes sagging – and helps to protect skin tissue from damage.
The MT Metatron MT Essential Lotion is also infused with other active ingredients, like the compound DMAE, loved for its ability to treat wrinkles as well as firm and tighten skin. Methylsilanol Mannuronic Acid not only protects against free radical damage that can prematurely age your complexion, it also helps to even out skin tone, leaving you with a brighter, more radiant appearance.
Last but not least, hydrating Water-Soluble Collagen Cross Polymers drench your complexion with moisture to strengthen its protective barrier and prep skin by promoting the penetration of the rest of the products in your beauty regime.
Furthermore, its application makes for a pleasant experience. “It feels nice and light on my skin, without an overpowering fragrance,” says local singer-songwriter and influencer Hashy Yusof. For best results, use the lotion twice a day on a clean face. Dispense a large coin-sized amount on your palms or a cotton pad, and massage the lotion onto your face and neck, before proceeding with the rest of your skincare ritual. Suitable for all skin types, it can even help to soothe and calm sensitivity.
After a month, you’ll notice that your skin looks more luminous, smooth and lifted, while pores will appear more refined and your overall complexion will appear fresher and more youthful.
MT Metatron MT Essential Lotion is priced at $117 for 150ml and is available at the MT Metatron counter at Isetan Scotts. Visit https://www.metatron-cosme.jp/en/ for more information.
