07 Face Wash

Suitable for: Gentle exfoliation on dull, tired skin

Key ingredients:

• Pomegranate extract – Full of antioxidants that protect against environmental damage and contains fruit acids for a gentle exfoliation

• Chamomile oil – With softening and anti-inflammatory properties that soothe and calm the skin

• Baobab seed oil – Nourishes and strengthens to reveal radiant-looking skin

• Lemon and mandarin peel oils – Refreshes and clarifies the complexion with a bright, aromatic scent

The 07 Face Wash is a refreshing and gentle cleanser that effectively removes impurities without stripping the skin of its natural oils. Formulated with a blend of natural ingredients, this award-winning cleanser soothes the skin while providing a thorough cleanse. It’s also free of nasties like sulphates, which are known to dry and irritate, and phthalates, which have been linked to endocrine disruption.

I was impressed by its light, gel-like texture that lathers nicely and has a refreshing scent, which makes the cleansing experience luxurious. After rinsing, my skin felt clean, soft, and not at all tight or dry—a common issue with many cleansers. This product is perfect for daily use to reawaken a dull and tired complexion, making it a versatile staple in any skincare routine.

09 Hand Cream

Suitable for: Treating dry skin, cuticles, nails and even elbows

Key ingredients:

• Rose of Jericho extract – Forms protective film against environmental pollution, promotes skin regeneration, enhances cellular proliferation to aid wound healing, soothes the skin and provides deep moisturisation

• Perilla oil – Rich in omega-3 with antioxidant properties and treats photo-ageing, also traditionally used to treat sensitive skin and inflammatory skin conditions

• Jojoba oil – Closely resembling skin’s natural sebum, it is rich in Vitamin E and antioxidants to protect, soothe and moisturise

• Avocado oil – Moisturises and nourishes skin, relieves inflammation from eczema and psoriasis and improves nail health

• Kigelia fruit extract – Regenerates, firms and evens skin tone

Next up is the 09 Hand Cream, a rich and nourishing formula designed to hydrate and protect. Infused with botanical extracts, this hand cream keeps your hands soft and moisturised throughout the day. Its texture is creamy yet lightweight, absorbing quickly with a velvety finish sans greasy residue. The earthy scent of patchouli, chamomile and geranium is pleasant and not overpowering, making it perfect for everyday use.

I don’t have dry hands, but Japanese winters broke me, leaving my cuticles and the area between my thumb and index finger super cracked. I religiously massaged the hand cream into the dry areas, and after a few days of application, I noticed a significant improvement in the softness of my hands. A little goes a long way too.

Relax Tea

Suitable for: Relieving stress and promoting restful sleep

Key ingredients:

• Valerian root – Renowned for its sedative qualities, an infusion of the roots calms the nerves and encourages an increased sense of tranquility

• Orange rind – Its refreshing aroma helps to clear the mind and soothe a troubled spirit

• Passionflower – Mild and relaxing, it relieves stress and anxiety and is a traditional remedy for insomnia

• Peppermint leaf – Promotes relaxation and is traditionally used to calm digestive problems, restoring a sense of wellbeing

Lastly, Dr Jackson's offers the Relax Tea, a thoughtfully blended infusion designed to promote calmness and relaxation. Packed with organic ingredients and formulated according to a German pharmacopoeia recipe, this tea is perfect for unwinding after a long day.

Straight out of the box, the teabags have a strong herbal aroma, but it dissipates once it hits the water, leaving a soothing peppermint and citrus scent that sets a tranquil mood. Each sip is delightful, with a balanced flavour that isn’t overly floral or sweet. I found it to be a perfect companion for my evening routine, helping to ease my anxiety and promote restful sleep, and can also be enjoyed as a cold brew tea served over ice in warmer weather. This tea is an excellent addition to anyone’s self-care regimen, providing peace in a busy world.
