I guess I missed that Cosmopolitan quiz while preoccupied with other important coming-of-age beauty questions like whether or not to shave my arms (I did and you shouldn’t). Without this basic knowledge, navigating the complex terrain of modern skincare routines has been a challenge. Throw things like retinoid and squalene into the mix and I’m completely lost.

Skincare novices like me have one of two options: 1) seek professional help or 2) constantly trial new products hoping the next one will fix the problem the last one created. Both of which are time-consuming and expensive.

We are here to end this toxic cycle by introducing you to a product that works for all skin types. We know, we know – you’ve read a million articles about the one miracle product that will revolutionise your skincare routine. But we aren’t being hyperbolic when we say LESSE’s Ritual Serum delivers incredible results for oily, dry, combination, normal and sensitive skin.

We know because we’ve tried it. More than half our office put this serum to the test – all with different skin types, concerns and product tastes – and everyone loved it.

RIISE deputy CEO Elizabeth Roberts, who suffers from rosacea and perioral dermatitis, praised the serum’s calming, anti-inflammatory effects. Another staffer noticed an immediate difference to her dry skin’s texture, saying she thinks the serum strikes the perfect balance between feeling lightweight and providing adequate hydration. And I finally achieved that plump, dewy glow that other products had promised but never delivered.
