ARK Skincare Press Coverage
Aug 26, 2022ARK Skincare has received fantastic press coverage in print and online media, featuring in:
"As I previously mentioned; intrigue about the ability and creativeness of British skincare happened on the introduction to Ark Skincare. Ark Skincare’s ethos is all about empowering their consumer to celebrate the age they are. Their age-specific products ensure the skin’s needs are addressed, making it easier for the consumer to navigate. Protect for teens & 20s, Defend for 30s & 40s, & Defy for those over 50. Their belief in avoiding irritants like Parabens, SLS, mineral oil, S.D. Alcohol, Formaldehyde, and Artificial Colours & Fragrances is the first step in achieving optimum skin." - Julie Jacobs, Cent Magazine.
We are always thrilled when the quality and effectiveness of our products are recognised amongst the best of the best in the skincare industry. We are delighted to have once again been awarded numerous accolades in the prestigious 2022 Beauty Shortlist Awards. Read more about each of our award-winners here.
"Veganuary also offers an exciting time to discover new products that don’t compromise on ethics and luckily there is now plenty of vegan skincare to choose from. For a moisturising boost, try this Ark Skincare age defend replenishing moisturiser (Ark Skincare, £35) which got huge praise in our guide to the best vegan and cruelty-free skincare brands. Gliding onto the skin without any sticky residue, it contains bioactive ingredients, such as anti-oxidant Coenzyme Q10, moisturising kiwi and passion fruit lipids, plumping vitamin A and elasticity-boosting blue lotus. “It feels cooly refreshing to apply and has left our formerly parched skin feeling silky and looking brighter than ever,” noted our reviewer."
"It’s so important to look after yourself. In addition to journaling, weekly baths and daily meditations, my skincare regime helps with this. I see a beauty therapist called Mel Hume every two weeks for a 30-minute facial (£50, revitalize.london)... I love ARK Skincare. Its Age Defy Brightening Cleanser (£25, arkskincare.com) works wonders for pigmentation."

"This vegan beauty brand has luxe body balms and facial oils that won't break the bank" - Kate Wills, features ARK Skincare in her weekly favourites for Fabulous Magazine.

"For a beauty routine that's kind to skin and planet... Free from parabens, SLS and formaldehyde." - ARK Skincare's Age Defy Repairing Night Treatment is featured as a "sustainable swap" in Platinum Magazine.
"Started in Putney, but now resident in its own boutique in Haslemere, ARK Skincare is a vegan-friendly brand that is working hard to boost its recycling credentials. The award-winning rage uses bio-active natural ingredients free of parabens, fragrances, colours and other artificial nasties. Where parts of packaging are not council-recyclable, ARK works with recycling specialist Terracycle and has a collection point in store or customers can post used empties instead" - Essential Surrey
“Best: For tightening. While not strictly a neck cream, we felt this deserved
inclusion because it does what it says on the bottle – and we really felt it made a noticeable difference to our neck. Rich in super-hydrating hyaluronic acid, this serum gives a powerful moisture boost to nourish the skin and plump out fine lines. Microalgae delivers a tightening action; vitamin C brightens and a lipopeptide stimulates collagen and elastin production.
Powerful enough to give a reassuring tightening feeling on application we were nevertheless able to use it twice a day without irritation. When used as a neck treatment, a regular application of this no-nonsense serum made our neck look loved and cared for and quite simply better.” - The Independent
We were so excited to congratulate the lovely Tracey McAlpine from FightingFifty for her new position as ambassador for Fabulous Magazine.
In her introduction, Tracey very kindly chose our Intensive Hand & Nail Cream as her dessert island beauty product."
ARK Skincare's AgeDefy Nourishing Moisturiser was featured in The Independent as one of the best anti-aging day creams!
"Another independent British brand, ARK Skincare groups its products by age range, making it very easy to work out which is best for you. This moisturiser is from ARK’s Age Defy range for the over 50s and is especially good for dry skin. You only need a small amount to cover the face and neck, it absorbs really easily and has a gorgeously subtle fragrance. With hyaluronic acid, peptides and vitamin C, this is a really nourishing moisturiser without being heavy upon application. Our dry skin felt more supple and hydrated after use. There’s also an added bonus: A redesign of the packaging now gives 10 per cent more product for the same price."
We were lucky enough to receive a glowing report on
the ARK Skincare range by the highly respected India Knight in her piece in The Sunday Times Style magazine. India and her daughter tested our age intelligent products and found them to be effective at treating a range of concerns from teenage pore problems to fifty something skin.

Our Pre Cleanse & Make-up Remover features on Elle.com
Jul 04, 2017
We're delighted to see our Pre Cleanse & Make-up Remover featuring in Elle.com's article about double cleansing. Ellle.com says:
A quick once over with micellar water simply won't cut it. This is why you need to jump on board the double cleansing bandwagon.
A quick go with a face wipe will do nothing to properly dislodge foundation and pollution particles, and if all of that is left on your skin overnight, you aren't giving your skin cells the best chance at regenerating which means no plump, youthful complexion for you.
And ARK's Pre Cleanse & Make-up Remover was given a glowing review:
Not even waterproof mascara will win against ARK's clever Pre-Cleanse. Omega 3,6 and 9 melt make-up without stripping the skin, while grape seed and avocado oil lend and intense hit of nourishment.

Pixiwoo love our Pre Cleanse & Make-up Remover!
Mar 10, 2017Regardless of how much we enjoy the process of applying our make-up, no one wants to slave away to remove it all at the end of the day! If anyone knows a thing or two about that, it's the hugely talented make-up artists Nic & Sam of Pixiwoo. We were therefore extremely flattered when we heard that the stunning sisters enjoy using our Pre Cleanse & Make-up Remover to remove stubborn make-up in an instant!
Read on for their review:
"One thing I’m super proud of is that I never go to bed with my makeup on. I just can’t do it, even after a couple of gins! If it’s been an evening out where I have worn a heavier base of eye I find it much easier to spend an extra minute using a pre-cleanse. I know we all just want to get into bed after a late night but by giving your skin a once over with a pre-cleanse will ensure all of your makeup is removed easily, your skin will be perfectly clean and more importantly, you won’t need to wash your bed linen the next day to remove the remnants of your mascara.
I have been using ARK Pre-cleanse makeup remover for the last few weeks.
It’s a multi fruit mix of makeup dissolving ingredients, which lift of even the heaviest of eye makeup. Its oily texture will sink into your makeup and through circular movements will gently dislodge your layered products enabling your regular cleanser to just wipe off the stragglers and condition the skin.
What’s in it?
Grape seed, avocado oil and kiwi oil lift off makeup and soften the skin whilst Margosa Leaf Extract acts as an anti-bacterial ingredient to ensure there’s no blemish causing nasty’s lurking on the skin. There is also an Ayurvedic herb called Zi Cao, which is particularly beneficial on a sensitive skin.
The product can be poured out of the 150ml bottle allowing you to get a good amount of product to work into your skin. It’s gentle enough to use over the eyes and lips and once washed off there is no residue.
I don’t tend to use this everyday but reserve it for occasions when I need something a little stronger than my regular cleanser. It’s also a great product for removing waterproof mascara, liner and lip stains.
ARK Pre cleanse is £30.00 and available here."

The 12 best hand creams as chosen by The Independent!
Feb 15, 2017Hands are as exposed as our faces and yet we hardly put any thought into skincare or protection for them. Until, that is, winter hits and they start chapping. Modern hand creams don't just boost moisture levels, they're now anti-agers too and can reduce the appearance of age spots and fine lines, and help combat eczema. From sink-side pump dispensers to balms, creams and crème-gloves, we've rounded up the best hand nourishers in the business:
Nasties-free (including no mineral oil and fragrance), this British niche-brand bases its hand cream on essential fatty acids and lipids to boost hydration and reinforce the skin's natural moisture barrier. While red algae targets age spots and keratin amino acid ensures nails are kept strong and healthy. Palmarosa, clary sage, rosemary, ylang ylang, jasmine and mimosa also give this cream a stunning fresh floral scent.
