Have you ever tried a local skincare brand? What’s great about them is that they are made with our climate and common skin concerns in mind. One brand that has been around for over 40 years is Placecol, and their mix-and-match range of high-quality products will give you a back-to-work glow for a fresh start to the new year.
A South African skincare solution
Before and during the 1980s, the skincare market was flooded with expensive international brands.

Packed with natural ingredients, including the antioxidant-rich oil of the Manketti nut, both the regular and Illuminé ranges boast day and night products that are gentle yet effective. They tackle some of SA’s biggest skin concerns, namely signs of ageing and hyperpigmentation. In 2003, the brand was invited to become an official supplier to Edgars stores nationwide, bringing their products into the hands of everyday South Africans.
Do you want to explore the range but don’t know where to start? Some of their best-sellers include their Vitamin C Radiance Therapy – a potent serum that protects the skin from free-radical damage. For red, sensitised skin, their Calming Mist provides relief as well as a boost of hydration. The Barrier Protect Cream provides skin with deep nourishment for a healthy glow.
If you want to make the switch to South African skincare, Placecol is proof that local really is lekker!
