Whether she’s delivering a scene-stealing Golden Globes speech or playing the delightfully icy Rebecca Welton on Ted Lasso, Hannah Waddingham has a way of making everyone fall in love with her. At 52, she’s also become an ageless-beauty icon, donning the kind of dewy, luminous skin that has people wondering what her secret is. So when she signs on to a skin-care partnership, we’re paying attention to what she's stocking her vanity with.
The product in question: Paula’s Choice's new Pro-Collagen Peptide Plumping Intensive Moisturizer ($49), which just tapped Waddingham as the face of its launch campaign—and it’s one she stands firmly behind.
“I love a skin-care product that delivers on what it promises,” Waddingham said in a statement announcing the partnership, “and this formula provides deep, comforting hydration while leaving skin looking plumper, smoother and more replenished. It’s the kind of high-performance skin care that makes a noticeable difference and has quickly become a favorite part of my daily routine. ”

The moisturizer is the sixth product in Paula's Choice peptide lineup and only the second moisturizer in that collection, built around what the brand calls its 3x Pro-Collagen Peptide Complex. The formula leans on red micro-algae extract to help trap water at the skin’s surface, plus what the brand describes as “moisture-locking lipid technology” to shore up the skin barrier—the goal being hydration that doesn’t just feel good in the moment but sticks around, with the brand claiming relief for stressed, dry skin for up to 120 hours.
The texture itself is rich and cushiony but formulated to sink in without leaving a greasy finish, which is exactly the kind of feel-good-not-heavy formula that tends to earn repeat purchases.
Pro-Collagen Peptide Plumping Intensive Moisturizer is available now at Paula’s Choice for $49—and if it’s rich enough to pass muster with Rebecca Welton's exacting standards, it’s probably worth a spot on your shelf, too.
