6 needle-free ways to ‘inject’ your skincare

Obviously, gazillions of us have absolutely no appetite for sticking needles in our face. Luckily, skincare brands as well as clinics are obliging with increasingly clever technologies to ‘open channels’ in the tough, outer layer of skin (known as the stratum corneum) to infuse the skin tissue below with actives.
