Hydration and Skin Preparation
The previous Shine Control Moisturiser & Primer was loved for its ability to hydrate and prepare your skin with a focus on reducing oil production and achieving a matte finish.
On the other hand, the new Moisture Max takes skin hydration and protection to the next level. It not only hydrates, but also offers SPF 15 protection, ensuring your skin stays moisturised and shielded from harmful UV rays throughout the day. This dual functionality makes it a more versatile choice for daily skincare needs, which is why we decided to replace the Shine Control Moisturiser & Primer, with the more versatile SPF 15 Moisture Max.
Why SPF 15?
An SPF15 still blocks out 93% of UV rays and an SPF30 blocks out 97% of UV rays. So, unless you plan on being out in the sun for a long time and SPF 15 is perfect for every-day use and is also perfect as a base, if you wish to apply other products on top. Of course, if you are planning to be out in the sun all day, you should reapply your SPF every two hours.
Coverage and Effectiveness
While the previous moisturiser focused on providing a radiant matte finish by filling in fine lines and smoothing pores, our new Moisture Max goes beyond. This easily absorbed, non-greasy formula is enriched with natural botanicals to nourish your skin and powerful ingredients like niacinamide to fill in fine lines and wrinkles, hyaluronic acid to hydrate your skin and vitamin C for skin repair and anti-ageing benefits.
In essence, while the Shine Control Moisturiser & Primer focused on mattifying, oil reduction and priming benefits with hydrating properties, the new Moisture Max SPF 15 enriches your skincare routine by incorporating sun protection, anti-aging and skin repair benefits, and enhanced hydration. It's a comprehensive skincare solution for everyday use.
Why is wearing SPF important?
In Australia, where the sun’s UV rays can be especially intense due to the ozone layer’s thinness, wearing SPF is crucial for protecting your skin. SPF shields against harmful UVB rays that cause sunburn and UVA rays that lead to premature ageing and skin cancer. Regular use of SPF for men and women helps prevent sunburn, reduces the risk of skin cancer, and keeps your skin looking youthful, making it a vital step in your daily skincare routine in the Australian sun
Real Conceal Concealer
At Tony and Munro, we believe that beauty belongs to everyone. That’s why we’re excited to keep our beloved Real Conceal Concealer (previously called Correcting concealer). While the product inside remains the same high-quality formula you know and love, we’ve introduced brand new packaging that brings a fresh and modern look to your daily routine.
A Fresh Look for the Same Amazing Product
Our Concealer has always been a staple in the Tony and Munro lineup, known for its superior coverage and natural finish. Our new packaging is designed to reflect the premium quality of the product inside, while the new bottle provides a more user-friendly experience.
The Ingredients You Love
The Real Conceal Concealer continues to feature the same powerful ingredients that have made it a favourite among skincare enthusiasts. Each component is carefully selected to provide exceptional coverage, nourish your skin, and enhance your natural look.
Key Ingredients:
Niacinamide: This versatile ingredient is known for its ability to improve the appearance of enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, and fine lines. Niacinamide helps to strengthen the skin barrier, enhance skin elasticity, and improve texture, giving you a smooth and natural complexion.
Glycerin: A powerful humectant, glycerin draws moisture into the skin and keeps it hydrated. This helps to maintain a supple and smooth texture, ensuring that your skin looks and feels healthy.
Titanium Dioxide: This mineral sunscreen ingredient provides broad-spectrum protection against harmful UV rays. It also helps to give the concealer its excellent coverage and a soft-focus, natural finish.
Plankton Extract: A natural marine product with antibacterial properties that can strengthen the skin’s barrier. It also contains antioxidants and is rich in minerals and vitamins E and C, which are essential for maintaining healthy skin. It’s also the key ingredient in helping to cover up red skin undertones and dark circles.
The Benefits Remain Unchanged
While the packaging has received a makeover, the benefits of the Real Conceal Concealer remain as impressive as ever. Here’s a reminder of why this concealer is a must-have in your beauty arsenal:
Flawless Coverage: The Real Conceal Concealer effectively hides imperfections, blemishes, and dark circles, giving you a blemish-free, natural complexion.
Long-Lasting Wear: Our concealer is designed to stay put throughout the day, so you can confidently go about your activities without worrying about touch-ups.
Lightweight Formula: Despite its excellent coverage, the Real Conceal Concealer feels lightweight on your skin, allowing it to breathe and stay comfortable.
Natural Finish: Achieve a natural finish that enhances your look without looking cakey or heavy.
Skin-Friendly Ingredients: We prioritise your skin’s health, which is why our concealer is formulated with nourishing and gentle ingredients suitable for all skin types.
Why the New Packaging?
We listened to your feedback and recognised the need for a more modern and convenient packaging solution. The new design not only looks chic, but also offers practical benefits:
Improved Portability: The sleek packaging fits easily into your travel bag, making it perfect for on-the-go touch-ups.
Enhanced Durability: The robust design ensures that your concealer remains intact and protected, even during travel.
Easy Application: The updated applicator allows for precise and effortless application, giving you more control over how much you use.
