the superblend

At the heart of each product is a Superblend; a three element ingredient system made up of naturally derived and scientifically proven ingredients at therapeutic levels. These ingredients are expertly blended without the use of unnecessary chemicals to create clean targeted skincare with integrity that delivers. We put in what we need and leave out what we don’t. We strive for all of our products to be at least 98% natural.

actives

Each Superblend is packed full of natural actives because they are proven to work, backed by science and their benefits are widely documented.
 
Granactive Retinoid and Bakuchiol: Our My Wrinkles range boasts both of these high-performing ingredients, as they are some of the only actives actually proven to support the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles (the most visible signs of ageing).
 
Persian Silk Tree Extract: This works overnight to help banish a tired morning appearance. It supports your natural cleansing system which is why you'll find it in both morning expert open eyes and my wrinkles tired eyes.
 
Vitamin C: Used in our Morning Expert range, Vitamin C is an antioxidant that boosts brightness, elasticity and reduces the appearance of pigmentation, leaving behind a serious glow. The level of all active ingredients (including many more than those explained above) in our products are optimised for the best results.

functional fragrance

The key to any This Works Superblend is its 100% natural, responsibly sourced functional fragrance. This means that not only does each product smell amazing, the fragrance has been developed with a specific purpose in mind and the essential oils chosen accordingly. An early advocate for the power of aromatherapy, This Works' founder, Kathy Phillips, was inspired by modern aromatherapists Dr Jean Valnet and Micheline Arcier when creating her original product lineup to develop fragrances that were calming, motivating or pleasurable.
 
For use throughout the day, our Stress Check blend boasts Eucalyptus to help refresh, invigorate and counter physical and mental fatigue, Frankincense to help aid relaxation and Lavender Oil to help soothe nervous tension - blended to help clear the mind and reduce anxiety.
 
For the night phase, our award-winning Deep Sleep fragrance blend is the one. It includes Lavender to help relieve tension and aid deep relaxation, Camomile for helping stress relief and Vetivert to settle nerves and help with exhaustion. These three work together to create a calming environment for sleep and thereby support skin renewal.
 
For the morning phase, replace your usual cup of coffee with our Morning Expert collection. The functional fragrance is designed to energise you with Lavandin, Peppermint and Rosemary to help motivate and boost focus.
