Skin Rocks' New Serum Tackles All Hyperpigmentation
I know a thing or two about stubborn facial hyperpigmentation. While pigmentation refers to the natural coloration of the skin, hair, and eyes caused by melanin, hyperpigmentation describes the the process of excess of melanin production caused by various factors like inflammation and sun exposure. This manifests as discolouration, uneven skin tone and dark spots. As someone who has struggled with acne since the age of 18, I'm well versed in the struggle of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, that being, those deep seated scars that linger well after a breakout has cleared. It means that while I've developed a steady acne-safe routine, I've also paid close attention to the kind of products that don't just keep spots at bay, but clear up the mess once they've gone. And, Skin Rocks' new The Hyperpigmentation Serum, £85, promises to do just that. Four years in the making, brand founder and no-nonsense talking beauty expert, Caroline Hirons, certainly took her time to cook up this hotly anticipated product requested her a legion of 785k loyal Instagram fans. The Hyperpigmentation Serum, which launched this week, has already created a buzz online and it's not hard to see why. Promising to tackle all types of hyperpigmentation, from post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, to sun spots, red marks (also known as post-inflammatory erythema), as well as medical conditions like melasma, the serum promises to be the single antidote to a series of problems that are all characterised by hyperpigmentation. Clinical trials for the serum found a reduction in brown spots by up to 17% after 4 weeks, and up to 24% after 8 weeks ©Skin Rocks Staying loyal to the brand's results-driven, efficacious and totally transparent DNA, the serum takes a formula-first approach that has been proven to deliver. The clinical and consumer trials that span eight to twelve weeks with a cohort of 167 participants using the serum in silo have revealed seriously impressive results. For example, consumer trials reported a whopping 90% improvement in brighter looking skin, while the clinical study proved a 24% reduction of brown spots after eight weeks of use. Safe to say the before and after images speak for themselves. The results boil down to a clever formula that inhibits various pathways for pigment overproduction. Safe to use on all skin types, tones and even ages, the carefully charged serum is loaded with turmeric-derived antioxidant tetrahydrodiferuloymethane (THDFM) which restricts the power of hyperpigmentation-causing enzyme tyrosinase, skin brightening peptides tetrapeptide-30 and acetyl glycyl beta-alanine, excess melanin blocking hexylresorcinol and ethyl linoleate, as well as a stabilised form of hero ingredients vitamin C and barrier strengthening niacinamide. Together, the hardworking cocktail has been clinically proven to correct dark spots, even out skin tones, and lend a brighter, more radiant complexion. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, using the Skin Rocks The Hyperpigmentation Serum 1. Skin Rocks The Hyperpigmentation Serum What the brand says: 'Say goodbye to overcomplicated routines and say hello to one solution for all types of hyperpigmentation. This highly effective, concentrated serum works by targeting various points of the pigment production process, helping to fade multiple types of hyperpigmentation, from post-breakout marks to melasma, as well as redmarks. As always, our final formula is clinically tested, and this serum is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of dark spots and even out skin tone, both within 2 weeks and over time.' What we know: As with all of its formulas, the newest Skin Rocks innovation is clinically proved, results driven and formula-first, which is why its contents are packed with hardworking ingredients like turmeric-derived antioxidant tetrahydrodiferuloymethane (THDFM) which blocks hyperpigmentation-causing enzymes in their tracks as well as skin brightening peptides and stabilised vitamin C, which really helps to cover the multifaceted nature of hyperpigmentation. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'Hyperpigmentation issues have followed me since my first breakout when I was 18. Now aged 31, it's safe to say it's problem I still face to this say. Which is why arming my routine with a hard-working serum that is capable of stopping post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation before it can manifest on the skin is so important. It means there is one less skin stress to worry about.'

Tattle Life stalked, harassed and abused me posting pics of my grandchildren and triggering death threats - 'trolling' doesn't begin to cover it
Skincare expert Caroline Hirons opened up about how she was stalked, harassed and abused online by users on a viral gossip site called Tattle Life. The 55 year old, who is the founder of company Skin Rocks, appeared on Wednesday's episode of Lorraine to talk about teen skin care, but ended up touching upon the online forum through her own experience with it. Tattle Life is a 'commentary website on public business social media accounts'. Earlier this week it was revealed that British 'business owner' Sebastian Bond, 41, was confirmed as the secret mastermind behind the website after losing a £300,000 defamation case to influencers Donna and Neil Sands. Lorraine said: 'Caroline, you were one of the people who were horribly affected by this...' Caroline said: 'Not just me. They came after my family. 'The thing with Tattle is, I've had an online persona for 16 years, it started on Twitter like everyone else, then I moved to Instagram. 'We're used to being trolled, the lowest common demonstrator is that you talk about someone's appearance... 'I've had people telling me they're not attracted to me for 16 years, it's water off a duck's back. 'That's not Tattle. Tattle is stalking, death threats, I really need to hammer that message home. 'Everything that site says in terms of we monitor everything, we didn't know this was happening, it's all lies. It's not an untruth, not a mistake. It's lies. 'They have systematically harassed, abused, stalked families, they posted mortgage docs, they've posted of my grandchildren in my home. You have no idea.' She continued: 'Most people are really good people, when you hear of this, "surely a little bit of not everyone is going to like you", "people are going to comment on your appearance, that's what everyone does". 'That is not what this is. I cannot make it clear enough.' Caroline has joined forces with Neil and Donna Sands, and doctor Jess Taylor - and they are going to the government and the police to take a stand on the issue. She added: 'They will be unmasked and this site will come down. 'It has tortured people. Now I am lucky, I'm older, I now have means. If I needed to, I could buy security. 'But there are people out there who have had their mental health destroyed. 'They've had their family stalked. Their children's schooling exposed, they've had people driving by their houses outside. 'This is not your average trolling. 'This is systemic persistent abuse, harassment, it is absolutely the epitome of the worst of society.' Caroline is a qualified aesthetician who boasts 783k followers on Instagram and 253k subscribers on YouTube. She started her career working for Aveda in Harvey Nichols and has now created her own businesses, including being founder of Skin Rocks and co-founder of Beauty Backed. Caroline has released a number of books including Skincare: The New Edit and Teen Skincare. Katie Price has led the celebrities supporting the take down of Tattle Life after the anonymous blogger was unmasked on Monday. Replying to Donna's Instagram announcement post, Katie shared an array of applause emojis before also taking to her Story to raise awareness. Meanwhile psychologist Dr Jessica Taylor took to Instagram on Monday to share that she and Neil Sands were beginning government action against Sebastian and the website itself. And Katie reshared the announcement to her story, which asked the government to begin criminal action against Tattle users. It read: 'Individually, we were victims, but together with the ruling pursued by @neilsands_ and @donnasands_ - we are now unstoppable.' A host of other celebrities also commented on Donna's post as they shared their support after falling victim to the site themselves. Stacey Solomon wrote: 'Thank you. ❤️ for all you've done'. Meanwhile actress Alice Evans commented: 'Hopefully this will encourage more lawyers to take our cases on. 'Maybe we can make up some of the income we lost through their lies.' Influencer Sophie Hinchliffe, who is best known by her online brand Mrs Hinch, penned: 'Oh my gosh I pray this is true. 'The website that has damaged my mental health and harassed me and my family beyond words for over 6 years. 'They've stalked me, lied about me, mocked me and my beautiful children. Accused me of the unthinkable, brainwashed my supporters. Sickening behaviour that I've silently had to put up with every single day. A host of other celebrities including Kady McDermott, Alice Evans, Ashley James and Lauryn Goodman also shared their support Influencer Sophie Hinchliffe penned: 'The website that has damaged my mental health and harassed me and my family beyond words for over 6 years' 'My thread (as I'm sure you've seen) is one of the largest on there , with hourly abuse. I hope to god this site gets taken down. Thank you for all you've done'. Big Brother star Henry Southan added: 'Great news' while Love Island's Tasha Ghouri posted applause emojis. Fellow Love Island stars Kady McDermott and Siannise Fudge wrote: 'Thank you so much'. Ashley James added: 'Amazing!!!' and Sharon Gafka penned: 'Thank you'. Lauryn Goodman commented: 'Well done guys! Amazing work now time for the data … who's been behind those accounts! Thank you so much for taking this on .. it was huge!' After Donna and Neil appeared on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday, Lauryn also reposted the video as she commented: 'Can still see the pain @donnasands_ has had to endure, Well done guys @neilsands_'. Responding to Sebastian's comment that he 'strongly denies ruining anyone's life', Lauryn penned: 'I'm sorry the audacity.... SEBASTIAN you have denied it???? DENIED it? 'You had SO much time to respond you ignored and still do. You're actually in contempt of court. Honestly if you don't laugh you'll cry... just call him shaggy from now on "it wasn't me." Even with the piles of evidence.' Thanking Donna and Neil for their work she added: 'We can't thank you both enough and the fight continues.. you kept going even though it took a lot of resources! Warriors'. Tattle's site attracts 12 million visitors a month, and is supposedly aimed at exposing disingenuous influencers who make money from social media. Thanking Donna and Neil for their work she praised them for being: 'Warriors' But it rapidly descended into a paradise for trolls to aim abuse at everyone including Mrs Hinch and Stacey Solomon to mummy bloggers with small followings. Last week restrictions on identifying Sebastian were lifted after Neil and Donna were awarded £300,000 at the High Court of Justice in Northern Ireland in 2023 after successfully suing Bond for 'defamation and harassment' in posts aimed at them on the site. For nearly a decade, since the site was set up in 2017, no one knew who ran Tattle Life, with the site's operator going under the fake name Helen McDougal. Many will be now surprised to learn the creator is in fact a man, who is the author and foodie behind plant-based recipe Instagram page Nest and Glow, which boasts 135,000 followers. For the past eight years, the vegan cookbook author he has secretly presided over the site, which makes an estimated £276,770 in Google Ad revenue every six months, according to figures from 2021. Meanwhile, influencers, their partners and even their children, have been on the receiving end of abuse and mockery over their weight and disabilities - while private details such as their home addresses have been shared on the forum.

Do you have Mum Face? All the ways motherhood takes its toll on your skin & the solutions you need…
All recommendations within this article are informed by expert editorial opinion. If you click on a link in this story we may earn affiliate revenue. MUM'S THE WORD Do you have Mum Face? All the ways motherhood takes its toll on your skin & the solutions you need… NOTHING sums up motherhood better than: 'The days are long, but the years are short.' One minute you're in the throes of newborn life and the next, your daughter is swiping your serum. As a 41-year-old mum of two - to a six and nine year old - it feels like I blinked and 10 years have passed. And boy do those 10 years show on my face - my eye bags are much more prominent, my skin has lost its glow and the faint frown lines are now ever-present. There are some mornings I put off wearing my glasses, just to enjoy the slightly blurred reflection in the mirror that still feels more familiar to me than the aged version staring back at me. Ageing may be part and parcel of entering your 40s, but it also feels like each fine line and wrinkle tells a story of motherhood – the good, the bad and the ugly. 9 Lauren Ezekiel knows a thing or two about the effects of motherhood Credit: Lauren Ezekiel 'It's completely normal for many of us to notice changes in our appearance after becoming mums,' says Dr Nora, cosmetic and medical dermatology doctor at Rejuvenation Clinic. 'Hormonal shifts, disrupted sleep, stress and the natural ageing process all play a role in the skin looking duller, with more pronounced under-eye bags, sagging in the lower face, and deeper frown lines.' A fan of the natural approach to ageing, I've always steered away from anti-ageing injections, but it feels like it's time to step up my current skincare and invest in some hard-hitting ingredients and devices. So, now that my children are growing up and I have more time on my hands, I've made it my mission to build up my confidence - consulting some of the best experts around for their advice on combating Mum Face. Eye bags and dark circles 'Lack of sleep reduces circulation, leading to dull, tired-looking skin and enhanced shadows under the eyes,' says Dr Tara Francis, dentist and advanced facial aesthetician. And it is not just lifestyle changes that can result in prominent eye bags, hormonal changes also play a factor, whether that's postpartum or if you're entering the perimenopause, like me. 'These changes can thin the skin, making underlying blood vessels more visible,' says Dr Tara, 'the natural loss of volume that comes with tiredness or ageing can deepen hollows under the eyes, making circles appear darker.' The Fix: Start with the basics - hydration, good nutrition, and rest when you can. 'Using a cold compress or chilled eye mask can quickly reduce puffiness, and topical products with caffeine, hyaluronic acid, and peptides can help brighten and plump the area over time,' says Dr Tara. 9 Tackle eye bags in weeks Credit: Skin Rocks Skin Rocks by Caroline Hirons The Eye Cream, £65 Skin Rocks by Caroline Hirons The Eye Cream, £65, is a does-it-all formula that is clinically proven to reduce eye bags in eight weeks. A little goes a long way, and one pump should be sufficient for both eyes - apply with your pinkie finger to prevent pulling on the skin. 9 This is a great budget alternative Credit: THE INKEY LIST The Inkey List Caffeine Eye Cream, £11 A good budget alternative is The Inkey List Caffeine Eye Cream, £11, which helps to depuff and reduce dark shadows. 9 Revive tired eyes with eye patches Credit: NIP+FAB Nip+Fab Vitamin C Eye Patches, £15.95 For eye-bag emergencies, pop a pot of Nip+Fab Vitamin C Eye Patches, £15.95, in the fridge then leave on for 15 minutes to help brighten the area. Fine lines and wrinkles 'Frown lines become more prominent from repetitive movement - especially with the mental load of motherhood,' says Dr Nora. 'At home, a consistent skincare routine with antioxidants, peptides and retinoids can help maintain skin health - and daily SPF is a must - even on sleep-deprived mornings.' The Fix: Anti-wrinkle injections like Botox may be the most effective for reducing fine lines and wrinkles, but if you prefer not to go down the injectable route, then retinol is the answer. 9 Refresh your complexion Credit: murad Murad Youth Renewal Oil Drops, £71 Murad Youth Renewal Oil Drops, £71, contains a blend of retinol that is not only powerful enough to help reduce lines and wrinkles, but also comes in a soothing oil formula that locks in moisture to the skin so it doesn't dry it out. 9 Address fine lines and wrinkles Credit: Roc Roc Retinol Derm Correxion Fill+Treat Serum, £39.99 Another option is Roc Retinol Derm Correxion Fill+Treat Serum, £39.99, which thanks to its applicator, can be applied directly to problem areas, rather than all over the face. Dull skin 'When we don't get enough sleep, our body doesn't have adequate time to repair itself,' says Dr Liam Piggott, medical director at Grand Aesthetics Clinic. 'This can lead to reduced blood flow, causing our skin to appear dull and lifeless. "Plus, during sleep, our skin regenerates and repairs damage, so without it, we miss out on that vital rejuvenation,' he adds. 9 This rejuvenating mask is well worth the investment Credit: STYLPRO StylPro Wavelength LED Mask, £99.99 The Fix: If you don't have a magic wand that can ensure you regularly get your eight hours of uninterrupted sleep, then it may be worth investing in StylPro Wavelength LED Mask, £99.99. The red LED aids the stimulation of collagen production, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while the near-infrared light helps reduce inflammation. You need to use it every day for 10 minutes - alongside glow-inducing ingredients like vitamin C - to really see an improvement. 9 Firm and illuminate your complexion Credit: MATTER OF FACT Matter Of Fact Brightening & Firming Serum, £85 Matter Of Fact Brightening & Firming Serum, £85, contains 20% fully dissolved, stable L-ascorbic acid, which can boost the overall appearance of the skin. Sagging jowls Prior to having children, I had regular facials and in-salon treatments, which helped boost elasticity and firmness. However, since having children, this additional cost and indulgent treat has slipped down the priority list. 'Adapting to a new routine as a mother also means you have less time to commit to your previous skincare commitments, such as facials,' says Lauren Evans, CACI training and development officer. 'Stress can also trigger cortisol, which can accelerate the breakdown of collagen in our skin causing a loss in skin firmness.' The Fix: Sagging skin can often be hard to improve with products alone, but using a facial tool like a gua sha or jade roller can help, as it stimulates the lymphatic system reducing inflammation and puffiness, or in-salon treatments like CACI Jowl Lift, from £40, can help strengthen the muscle. 9 This K-Beauty buy has recently launched at Boots Credit: MEDICUBE Medicube Night Wrapping Mask, £25.90 Applying a collagen mask like Medicube Night Wrapping Mask, £25.90, can improve elasticity, too - apply all over the skin and allow it to dry fully before going to sleep, then in the morning, peel off the mask to reveal tighter skin.

Louise McSharry: ‘A friend was struggling with acne when a chance encounter with a drag queen changed her life'
There are some skincare brands that I believe allow you to do just that — feel confident that whichever of its products you choose, you'll be on solid ground. The following are brands I'd be happy to use a full skincare routine from, such is my faith in them. 1. Skingredients (via — When a brand is created by someone who has built a career around skin expertise, you can be fairly sure it's going to be good. Jennifer Rock's Skingredients is an excellent example of this. Rock spent years guiding people towards the products and practices which would result in their best skin through her business The Skin Nerd before using all her experience to formulate her own products. I highly rate every single product in this small but perfectly formed range. 2. Paula's Choice (via — A friend of mine was struggling with acne when a chance encounter with a drag queen in Belfast changed her life. 'You need Paula,' the queen said, and after ascertaining that Paula was referring to a skincare brand and not another drag queen, my friend made some purchases. She says it's the best thing she ever did. Unlike Skingredients, Paula's Choice has a very large range of products, which means almost every skin concern is covered. Unlike some large ranges, though, these products are really effective. If you're confused on which products are best for you, the brand has a guidance section on its website which includes a helpful skin type quiz. 3. No7 (via — A brand that needs no introduction, the Boots beauty brand was launched in 1935. In my lifetime, it's been such a constant presence that you'd be forgiven for overlooking it. When something is always there, you might forget about it. The launch of the brand's Future Renew range, however, led me to use a full No7 skincare routine, and I was impressed. The products are consistent and effective — I guess there's a reason the brand has been a success for 90 years! 4. Skin Rocks by Caroline Hirons (via — Caroline Hirons's skincare expertise became a staple in many a product-lover's life long before the launch of her brand, Skin Rocks, in 2022. After years of trusting Hirons's lead when it came to skincare products, I knew I could have faith in a range she was happy to put her name on. I could use only Skin Rocks products for the foreseeable and be happy. Buying Irish Influencer Lisa Jordan's beauty brand Luna has an impressive array of products in its range, with all bases covered from foundation to brows and mascara. The brand's new Butter Balm Lipsticks have a formula which delivers the pigment of a lipstick but the comfort and hydration of a balm. Honestly, they do feel a bit like butter! With a satin finish, Butter Balm Lipsticks are available in five shades, which include two pinks, two nudes and a red. Rumour has it there's not a Cork woman in the world who doesn't have a Luna by Lisa product in their make-up bag — I'm sure this will be a happy addition. Something old… When I think of cream bronzer, my mind immediately goes to Chanel's Les Beiges Bronzing Cream (€55 via I can't say for sure that it was the first bronzing cream on the market, but it was certainly the one that got everyone's attention. For years, it was the only cream bronzer anyone was talking about. Aside from the chic Chanel pot it comes in, the product itself is great. It blends beautifully, and thanks to a total lack of sparkle and shimmer, it mimics natural bronze brilliantly. Les Beiges Bronzing Cream was initially only available in one shade, which worked for lots of people but not those with dark or fair skin tones, so Chanel introduced two new shades a few years ago which means more people can enjoy the product. It's pricey, but a little goes a long way so a pot will last you ages. For me, even the light shade is too dark in the winter, but I'm looking forward to getting back to it this summer. ... Something new For many people, Benefit has been a go-to brand when it comes to bronzer for as long as they've worn make-up. Hoola, a matte powder bronzer, is incredibly popular thanks to its matte finish and soft texture which blend beautifully and, like the aforementioned Chanel product, deliver a realistic bronzing effect. Now, Benefit has brought a new Hoola to the party. Hoola Wave Original Cream Bronzer (€41 via contains jojoba seed oil, shea butter and avocado oil, which means it applies smoothly and leaves the skin feeling nourished. It's not so balmy that it slides around the face though — Hoola Wave stays where you put it. Available in an impressive five shades (this shouldn't really be impressive but unfortunately the bronzer market has a long way to go when it comes to inclusivity), this product will work on most skin tones. If you like the original Hoola, but would like to layer your bronzer or simply prefer a cream, you'll like this, which delivers the same shimmer-free natural finish as its predecessor.
