Helen’s note
In menopause (and as a rule) stop using aggressive, stripping exfoliants. Focus on skin flooding instead: shift your routine towards hydration and plumping, and pair hyaluronic acid with a deeply nourishing barrier cream to lock moisture into thinning skin.

Synergie Skin
PressPause Menopause Firming Facial Serum
£101 30ml
Hormonal change tends to show up in skin all at once: dryness, dullness, loss of firmness and new sensitivity. PressPause is a light milk serum made for exactly that stage. Liposomal soy genistein supports firmness and smoothness, pink microalga protects and brightens, carnosine adds antioxidant defence, and shea, marula, meadowfoam and squalane put the comfort back. In Synergie’s study of women aged 45 to 60, 90% had less dryness and flaking after eight weeks.
Key ingredients
Liposomal soy genistein
High levels of genistein in a liposome, to support firmness and smoothness through hormonal change.
Pink microalga (Dunaliella salina)
Helps protect skin from the visible effects of environmental stress and supports firmness, radiance and a more even tone.
Carnosine
A dipeptide antioxidant that helps protect skin and support its vitality.
Shea, marula, meadowfoam and jojoba oils, squalane
Replenish the lipids menopausal skin loses, for softness and comfort.
If your skin has changed with perimenopause or menopause: drier, duller, less firm and more reactive than it used to be.

- Hydrated, comfortable skin all day
- Smoother texture and fewer visible fine lines
- Firmer, more resilient skin
- A brighter, more radiant complexion
- Less dryness, flaking and reactivity
