IN THE KIT

For the third instalment of In the Kit, educator and ACH Aesthetics founder Andrew Hansford tells Lollie Hancock his five must-have products 
and devices.

FillMed B3 Recovery Cream

Vitamin B3 boosts collagen synthesis and strengthens the skin barrier, while hydrating properties protect sensitive and reactive skin from aggressors, making this cream a popular aftercare product for aesthetic treatments.

Why Andrew loves it: “It’s a great multiuse product I recommend for post treatment, or even just as a boost for inflamed or broken skin. It can also be used for sensitised skins. I use it due its soothing and reparative properties.”

Artemis PlaSon

Designed to sterilise the skin, remove bacteria and germs, and aid in transdermal absorption within the skin, the PlaSon Device from Artemis stimulates skin regeneration and boosts collagen for clearer, healthier and firmer skin.

For the third instalment of In the Kit, educator and ACH Aesthetics founder Andrew Hansford tells Lollie Hancock his five must-have products and devices

Why Andrew loves it: “This device is a must for me as it allows product penetration at a deeper level – proven, without the use of more invasive procedures. After using this on my own skin I cannot begin to tell you the difference it made.”

Revision Skincare C+Correcting Serum 30%

This antioxidant blend contains 30% tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, allowing the ingredient to reach a deeper level, as well as promoting the natural production of vitamins C and E for healthy, glowing skin while repairing sun damage and creating a stronger defence against future damage.

Why Andrew loves it: “This product really makes my skin glow; I have never used a vitamin C serum like it.”

Hypo 21 Skin Spray

This skin spray is a product Hansford believes to be “an absolute first for the industry”, and one that “should be used by everybody.”

The Hypo21 Purifying Skin Spray is a cosmetically licensed pure hypochlorous acid skincare solution, suitable for use on all skin types.

Why Andrew loves it: “Certain inflammatory conditions can be very debilitating. This treatment can be used on anyone at any time and on any condition. The before-and-after images speak for themselves.”

FillMed HXR Eye Cream

This eye cream features hexylresorcinol to diminish the appearance of dark circles, escin to reduce puffiness, and arg-lys peptide to smooth the appearance of wrinkles.

Why Andrew loves it: “I’ve never been an eye cream lover because so many are heavy and play on the age of the client rather than the condition. This one sorted all that out for me. The ingredients are proven to help eye conditions such as pigmentation and dehydration, as well as being anti-ageing.”
