US skin-care brand Cor, has become the busy-person’s answer to a quick and hassle-free beauty regime, combining nano-silver – one of Mother Nature’s most effective anti-bacterial agents - with tiny particles of silica, collagen, chitosan and sericin. The skin feels nourished and looks noticeably plumper as vital nutrients are supplied deep into the dermis of the skin. Cor is guaranteed not disrupt the natural PH balance, safe-guards against the elements and protects against UV damage, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin.

A firm favourite with Sarah JP and Reese Witherspoon, Cor has been featured exclusively at the beauty website www.glowgetter.co.uk since November 2008. There doesn’t seem to be a Spa or beauty therapist around who hasn’t heard whisperings of the amazing Silver Soap and how notoriously difficult it is to lay their hands on it. It has been so popular that Glowgetter have posted a note on their website explaining that if their customers want Cor products, please can they join the waiting list. Understandably I was ecstatic when a travel-size packet of Silver Soap (£8.00) landed in my eager hands. The packaging alone made me feel like I was part of some well-kept secret, told to an elite few. Mindful of the fact that there are next to none of these available at the moment, I delved inside.

Amber-coloured, with a faintly aniseed aroma, the glycerine disc lathered up beautifully. Once applied to my face, I found the foam washed away all my makeup, leaving my skin fresh and clean. I did find my skin was a bit tight after the initial use but this is normal so I just applied a light moisturiser to give it a helping hand. With prolonged use, Cor promises that those who use the Silver Soap will benefit from a clear, blemish-free complexion.

In conjunction with the Silver Soap (£55.00), Cor has added Silver Anytime Moisturiser (£65.00), smoothing Silver Wrinkle Serum (£67.00) and the Age-defying Silver Eye Cream (£65.00) to the line. Used together, the trio of new products help to give the skin a radiant, luminous glow while simultaneously healing scarring and lesions.

Cor’s founder, Jennifer McKinley said: “After months of fielding customer requests for more products, we felt the time was now.”
