£25 'miracle worker' balm for mature skin loved by Kirsty Gallacher

Made of More's SALVATION. Rescue Balm, priced at £35 but reduced to £25 with code RESCUE at checkout, has been called a 'miracle worker' by shoppers with dry, mature skin. TV and sports presenter Kirsty Gallacher is among the brand's devotees, saying: "I'm fussy about what goes on my skin, so I'd never put my name to something that I didn't really believe in. I've been with Made Of More since day one, that tells you everything you need to know!"

Created for midlife skin changes

The balm was developed by Jackie Lamyman, a former banker turned farmer's wife, after her own complexion became dry, red and sensitive during perimenopause. She launched Made Of More alongside clinicians, including women's health expert Dr Dhesi, to address the particular needs of midlife skin, which can become drier, tighter and more sensitive as oestrogen levels fall.

The formula contains hemp seed oil, rich in omegas 3, 6 and 9, alongside ceramides to support the skin barrier. It is designed as an SOS treatment for redness and flare-ups.

Trial results and industry recognition

In a four-week trial involving more than 100 women aged 40 to 70, nine in 10 participants saw reduced redness and improved hydration, while 100% reported at least one improvement in their skin. Made Of More has picked up 19 industry awards, including Marie Claire's Best Moisturiser for Redness 2026.

Kirsty Gallacher added: "My skin is hydrated and glowy, it's a simple routine that doesn't overwhelm you. The products deliver, they're cruelty free, made in the UK...what's not to love?"

Shopper reviews and bundle offer

One shopper wrote: "This rescue balm is everything it says in the title. It's a small tube that contains something of a miracle worker, my aged skin is becoming dryer over the years and this is just the thing to add and lock in moisture." Another added: "Perfect for achieving hydrated, plump and soft skin and it works perfectly as part of my skincare routine."

One buyer, however, noted: "It made the backs of my hands softer over three days, but did also really irritate the dry, itchy skin when I applied it."

For a full midlife refresh, The Full She-Bang bundle brings together four hero products — CLARITY, BRILLIANCE, SALVATION and RESILIENCE — priced at £123, down from £173. The range combines botanicals with the brand's HC+ Complex, featuring British hemp seed oil and CBG plant stem cells, and is cruelty-free and made in the UK.
