Steal: Za Perfect Solution

Japanese skincare brand Za has launched its first anti-ageing line for women in their 20s and older. The four-piece line aims to smoothen lines and lift facial contours.

The formulas are made with vitamin A, elastin, collagen, hyaluronic acid, yuzu seed extract and apricot extract.

The star product is the rich Restoring Collagen Cream ($26.90), which promises to moisturise and clarify skin. Prices start from $17.90 for the Cleansing Foam.

Considering that Japanese conglomerate Shiseido is Za's parent company, we think this new anti-ageing line is a value-for-money buy.

Splurge: Chanel Le Lift

This range of new creams is made from the concentrated extract of the Edulis plant root, which is rich in antioxidants.

It is available in two formulas. The Creme ($205) is best for normal or combination skin.

Creme Riche ($205), as its name suggests, has a richer texture and is most suitable for more mature and/or drier skin.
