Trinny London launches Take Back Time Elixir that instantly transforms dull and dehydrated skin
If your skin is looking a little dull and lacklustre as we delve into the depths of winter, it might be time to call in the experts.
And by 'expert,' we mean the one and only Trinny Woodall — the ultimate beauty guru we have to thank for Trinny London's range of game-changing skincare products that actually work.
Her latest conception is a fragrance-free formula that is clinically proven to begin repairing and strengthening the skin barrier in as little as 30 minutes.
'There are days when our skin looks tired and dull, and that makes us feel tired and dull,' Trinny tells Best Picks.
'I wanted to create something that delivers an instant transformation, using advanced ingredients and micro-infusion technology to restore skin vitality.'
And that's exactly what it does. With just two pumps pressed into the skin, it helps to improve the overall vitality of the complexion, leaving skin feeling smooth and looking luminous.
Joining the Take Back Time Eye Treatment (which can soften visible lines around the eye area in just 7 days), Take Back Time Elixir is able to penetrate even deeper into the skin, delivering an incredible 48 hours of hydration.
More than just surface-level skincare, it's Trinny London's most advanced skincare innovation to date. And if you want to be one of the first to get your hands on it, you'll have to be quick.
Officially available to buy for shoppers Down Under, you can get your hands on the new launch for $165 via the Trinny London website.
Unlike other skincare products, elixirs are highly-concentrated formulas that can penetrate a lot deeper into the skin than your regular serums.
That's why you only need to apply two drops of the Take Back Time Elixir to clean skin, twice a day to nourish and noticeably brighten the complexion.
Powered by a blend of next-gen ingredients, Trinny London's formula is clinically proven to restore the f ive key signs of skin vitality; hydration, elasticity, smoothness, softness and luminosity.
'Unlike traditional skincare that only targets structural ageing, Take Back Time Elixir addresses vascular ageing,' says Claire Byrne, Scientist & Chief Innovation Officer.
'It helps to rejuvenate the skin's microvascular network, boost oxygen and nutrient delivery, and restore radiance from within.'
Sounds good, huh?
Jam-packed with all kinds of good ingredients, Take Back Time Elixir contains artichoke polyphenols, which is rich in antioxidants and helps to boost oxygen and nutrient flow.
Unlike thicker serums, the Elixir has an incredibly lightweight feel, which enables the ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin, thanks to the micro-infusion tech.
The results? A strengthened skin barrier that is visibly smooth, soft and luminious, free from any dry patches or dull complexions that often appear during the colder months.
Trinny recommends applying the Take Back Time Elixir directly to cleansed skin, layering after serums twice a day, morning and night to reap all the benefits.
Designed to suit all skin types, even those with sensitive, it's Trinny London's most advanced skincare innovation to date.

How an Aussie mum lost 11kg in 8 weeks with an affordable family-friendly program
If your diet journey has hit a standstill and no amount of working out seems to make a lasting difference, it might be time to turn to the professionals. But fear not, that doesn't have to mean extreme gym schedules or flavourless meals, because there are expert-led programs who promote a much more achieveable (and enjoyable) approach to health and fitness. Think simple yet tasty meals, short workouts and daily walks, all with the help of one easy-to-use app to track and maintain your progress. An Aussie mum, Monique, managed to lose an impressive 11kgs in just eight weeks, all by following a PT-certified '8 Week Challange' from the comfort of her home. Like many busy mums, Monique found herself snacking on 'half-healthy' foods while juggling the demands of parenting, leaving her feeling low on energy. Her turning point came during a simple family moment: 'I realised I was avoiding being in photos with my kids. I was disappointed in how I looked and felt. That's when I knew something had to change,' Monique tells Best Picks. Monique's journey didn't begin with crash diets or complicated gym routines. Instead, she turned to the 28 by Sam Wood app — a platform she'd used in the past but hadn't committed to. This time, she made it work for her whole household. 'I stopped snacking all day and started eating proper meals filled with protein, veggies, and good fats. My daughter even started picking meals from the app — and that's when it clicked. We could do this together.' In the 8-Week Challenge, Monique lost 11.1kg — going from 61kg to 50kg — purely through simple meals, short workouts, and daily walks. 'The 10-minute HIIT sessions with Anna and DanceFit with the kids became our new normal.' She now swears by a 'less is more' approach. 'You don't need fancy food or long workouts. You just need something realistic — something that fits your life.' Monique has since been 28 by Sam Wood's 8-Week Challenge winner where she received $5,000 for the most incredible transformation. 'I'm excited with my prize because the challenge has inspired me to invest it back into my health,' she says. 'I am looking to purchase, a medical grade air purifier, a sleep monitoring ring, and a membership to a longevity clinic to check out all the biohacking, anti-aging, and health promoting treatments they have'. Her advice to others starting out? 'Start small. Eat real food. Get your family on board. It doesn't have to be perfect — just consistent.' As for how she feels now? ' Energised, clear-headed, and proud. I'm no longer running on sugar spikes. I actually want to move my body.' The 28 by Sam Wood app is home to plenty of delicious recipes that are full of fresh flavours, and easy to prep and cook in your own kitchen. A typical day on a plate for Monique looks a little like this: Breakfast: Almond milk coffee with collagen protein; sometimes a breakfast shakshuka or bacon, eggs, zucchini, avocado, and sweet potato fries. Lunch: 28 Lamb Stir Fry loaded with veggies or homemade burrito bowls. Dinner: Sam's Satay (a family favourite!) or other meals from the 28 app. Snacks: Very minimal — the 28 meals keep me full. Tried & Tested Best Picks Acting Commerical Editor took the 28 app for a spin — here are her honest thoughts. The issue I'm often up against when it comes to kickstarting a healthy routine is lacking motivation and consistency, allowing myself way too many 'cheat days'. But having access to an app to track my progress helped to hold myself accountable and a reminder that you can still have delicious food in a balanced diet. While I'm not the most tech-savvy person, I found the app itself so user-friendly, easy to navigate between movement and meals and the automatic notifications give me a gentle nudge to make some time in my day to put my wellbeing first. I tend to seek out yoga and pilates workouts, but I was surprised at how much I've enjoyed more cardio-based training sessions too (hello HIIT making its way into my favourites). Across the board the instructors are super informative yet not intimidating, and keep the classes fresh and fun. And someone with a busy nine-till-five schedule, it's been surprisingly easy to incorporate the 30 minute workouts, and the fact that I feel great after every single one is a bonus!

DB Cosmetics Review: High End Skincare Dupes For Under $30
These products are hand-picked by our team to help make shopping easier. We may receive payments from third parties for sharing this content and when you purchase through links in this article. Product prices and offer details are not assured, and should be confirmed independently with the retailer. Learn more When you hear the words ' premium skincare' it's often followed by a price tag that makes you wince. Or do a double take. But a new skincare range from an established Aussie beauty brand is turning that expectation on its head. Not only that, but it's a dupe for a high end skincare brand at a quarter of the price. The unicorn in question is the new skincare collection from Designer Brands (DB) Cosmetics. WHAT ARE DB COSMETICS KNOWN FOR? I first tried DB Cosmetics makeup as a beauty writer almost a decade ago, and was impressed by the quality given the price tag. My overzealous use of their contour kit may have softened (it was the Kim K circa 2016 era, after all) but the brand's ability to deliver solid products at an affordable price apparently hasn't. They're now taking the same approach – high-quality affordable alternatives to top tier products – to skincare. And with every product no more than $28.99, it's certainly appealing. The elephant in the room? Yes, the range is inspired by another brand, Trinny London. There's lots to be said about dupe culture but I appreciate that DB Cosmetics, as one of the original 'inspired by' beauty brands, is upfront about which brand and even specific products they have taken inspiration from. These are clearly displayed in the product descriptions on the website. I've used Trinny London skincare before and love it but it is on the more expensive side (from double to quadruple the price). If that's out of your budget, then this could very well be an alternative worth exploring. WHAT ARE THE STANDOUT PRODUCTS? In a world of complicated skincare regimens, the Australian-made range is a welcome streamlined three-step offering designed to cleanse, brighten, hydrate and nourish. Start with the Revitalising Cleanser with Glycolic Acid ($24.99), boost with either the Plumping Serum with Hyaluronic Acid or Brightening Serum with Vitamin C (both $28.99), then finish with the Nourishing Moisturiser with Peptide Complex ($26.99). It's simple, effective and a great option for anyone starting their skincare journey or making some more affordable swaps. The cleanser is thorough without stripping the skin, and carries a subtle, citrus-y scent. Formulated with Glycolic, Lactic and Hyaluronic Acids, ceramides and bilberry and citrus extracts, it brightens and hydrates. My skin has been feeling a little lacklustre of late so I definitely noticed a difference after a few consistent uses. Massaging it into the skin also helps get rid of any stubborn or lingering makeup or residue in tricky areas like around the nose. The Plumping Serum is great for dry or mature skin, while the Vitamin-C packed Brightening Serum tackles dull-looking skin with added antioxidant protection. Simply apply 1-2 pumps on to clean, dry skin daily. Both are great options but I opt for the brightening one to get some much-needed pep back in my skin. While they boast plenty of active ingredients, they're a gentler version so suitable for sensitive skin too. The Nourishing Moisturiser, which helps to hydrate, boost elasticity, enhance the function of the skin barrier and lock in all that moisture and hydration, is also lovely to use and provides a smooth base for makeup. It's a relatively light moisturiser that absorbs quickly so you're not left with that sticky or heavy feeling but may not be quite heavy duty enough for those who like it thick and creamy in the colder months. I was back and forth with travel while I was trialling and loved how easy it was to just take the three products and have a full skincare regimen. The twist and pump packaging is also great for reducing spillage – home or away. HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO TRINNY LONDON? Given it's openly inspired by the brand, there are a lot of obvious similarities. The products promise the same results and share a lot of ingredients although the formulations are not identical. The eye-catching packaging is also very close to Trinny London's signature style although I do love the brighter, two-tone colour ways that DB Cosmetics has dialled up compared to the original. The big test is whether the results you see in your skin stand out enough in their own right. And I wasn't disappointed. WHAT ELSE IS WORTH TRYING FROM DB COSMETICS? If you're also looking for some affordable cosmetics to add to or update your makeup bag with, there is no shortage of options from the cruelty-free and vegan beauty brand. Their Luminous Hydrating Foundation has a 4.6/5 rating from almost 450 reviews thanks to its similarity to the cult NARS Light Reflecting Foundation, while their Blur Primer – inspired by the Lancome Absolute Perfecting Primer – is also a customer favourite. I've always thought highly of their lipsticks, with the range now expanded to include dupes for the Dior Lip Oil (Colour Burst Glossy Lip Oil) as well as bestsellers from Fenty and Rhode. Who said premium beauty products had to break the bank?
