01 | Get holiday-ready skin with Chantecaille’s updated Stress Repair Concentrate+
We get it, this year’s been a tough one. But your skin doesn’t have the bear the brunt of 2019: Enter Chantecaille’s upcoming, aptly named Stress Repair Concentrate+, the souped-up version of the original Stress Repair Concentrate.

Available at Chantecaille’s beauty counter at the Takashimaya Beauty Hall.

Available now at all Mulberry stores.
