Minnie Driver recently took to her Instagram Stories to share her award-season skin-care prep while getting ready for the 2026 British Academy Film Awards—including a first look at a product that hasn’t launched yet.
The 56-year-old says she looks for formulas that deliver instant results while supporting overall skin health, naming Tata Harper’s Crème Supreme—launching March 2—as the hero product of her routine. “It is this beautiful, velvety, rich, amazingly hydrating cream. It’s so yummy I can’t even tell you,” she gushes. “If you use something as beautifully hydrating as this cream, you’re going to see a difference...I’ve seen a difference in the texture of my skin and depth of hydration,” she adds.
The new formula is designed to hydrate, nourish, smooth, brighten, lift, firm and strengthen the skin barrier. “Don’t forget the neck,” Driver reminds viewers. "I often try to forget my neck, you know, necks can be problematic.” She also notes that she appreciates Tata Harper’s use of the term pro-aging rather than anti-aging, leaning into proactive care that helps keep skin looking and feeling healthy.
She says she's “obsessed” with the Brightening Eye Gel ($74), which she says helps de-puff and fade the look of dark circles. “I have had enormous success with this product,” she says. Pro tip: Driver recommends storing it in the fridge so the metal applicator feels extra cooling in the morning.
Driver also reaches for the Hydrating Floral Essence ($98), describing it as “super light and really silky, not overly fragranced.” To finish, she applies a layer of Lip Crème in Bubbly ($42), a pro-aging formula designed to rejuvenate the lip contour while plumping and hydrating.
