With Oestrogen receptors throughout the body, it can feel like every part of your body is impacted by Perimenopause. From your sleep through to your skin, energy, gut and even your gums and smile.
As a menopause expert at Elysium Lifestyle Magazine, Jo Fiddy loves exploring new and exiting products to find out which ones can make a real and tangible difference to how you feel.
WelleCo The Goddess Elixir – £49
If you’re looking for a supplement that takes a genuinely holistic approach to menopause support, start here. The Goddess Elixir is a science-led, plant-based blend packed with adaptogens, vitamins, and botanicals, including Red Clover, Vitex, and Schisandra. It is formulated to help ease hot flushes, support mood balance, maintain mental clarity, and keep your nervous system steady.
Two vegan capsules a day, designed to work through every stage of perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. Elle Macpherson, who co-created the formula, describes this chapter as one of the most liberating in a woman’s life. The Goddess Elixir is designed to help you feel exactly that.
Valerie AM: PM Formula – from £59
Valerie’s AM: PM Formula takes a system-wide approach with two targeted liposomal shots; there is one for the morning, one for the evening. It is designed to work with your body’s natural rhythm.
The Daily Essential (Wild Berry) supports energy, focus, and mood from the moment you wake. The Evening Essential (Vanilla & Lavender) helps you wind down properly, sleep more deeply, and wake up genuinely restored.
What sets Valerie apart is the delivery: liposomal absorption technology means nutrients actually reach your bloodstream rather than being lost in digestion. This makes it five times more effective than standard supplements. Backed by clinical trials, formulated with women’s health experts, and trusted by over 20,000 women. If your energy has felt unreliable and sleep is no longer doing its job, give this 90 days consistently. You will feel the difference.
This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray – 75ml — £25
One way to protect and prioritise your sleep is to add sleep hygiene rituals. This Works’ iconic Deep Sleep Pillow Spray has earned its reputation for good reason. The award-winning blend of Lavender, Vetivert, and Camomile works aromatically to calm both mind and body, clinically proven to help you fall asleep faster and wake feeling genuinely refreshed. Now available in a supersized 250ml bottle. Spray, breathe, rest. One of the simplest things you can do to support your sleep is to start tonight.
SWISSDENT CRYSTAL Toothpaste – from £12.50
Here’s something nobody talks about enough: perimenopause changes your oral health. Reduced oestrogen affects saliva production, weakening the mouth’s natural defences and increasing sensitivity, enamel erosion and the risk of gum disease. SWISSDENT CRYSTAL was engineered specifically to counteract these changes. Using patented biomimetic remineralisation technology alongside Coenzyme Q10 and Vitamin E, it actively rebuilds enamel, reduces sensitivity, gently whitens with plant enzymes, and protects tissues from oxidative damage, all with an ultra-low abrasion level that is safe for daily use. Fluoride-free, SLS-free, and housed in a sustainable bioplastic tube.
Think of it as an anti-ageing treatment for your smile. Use before bed and don’t rinse. Available from Superdrug, Amazon, John Bell & Croyden and leading pharmacies.
Art De Huile Lady Cool Mist – £39.00
For the moments when a hot flush (your power surge) arrives, maybe mid-meeting, mid-conversation, mid-everything, then Lady Cool is your discreet, instant answer. This 100% organic and natural aromatherapy mist from Art De Huile is carefully crafted to help alleviate hot flushes, ease mood swings, support emotional balance, and soothe stressed skin. Small enough to live in your handbag. Effective enough to genuinely matter. Fantastic for those hot days when you need to keep cool.
Replens Long-Lasting Vaginal Moisturiser – £12.99
Vaginal dryness affects women in perimenopause and beyond, and yet it remains one of the least talked-about symptoms. Let’s change that. Replens is the UK’s number one long-lasting vaginal moisturiser, and it works. Its bioadhesive formula adheres to vaginal tissue and continuously releases moisture, providing up to three days of sustained comfort per application. Hormone-free, suitable for regular ongoing use, and genuinely supportive of both everyday comfort and intimacy. This is not a symptom to push through.
Boots, Amazon & pharmacies
TheraTears Dry or Tired 50+ Eye Drops – £10.99
Dry, tired eyes are another symptom that catches women by surprise, and another one nobody talks about. As hormone levels shift, tear production decreases, leaving eyes feeling gritty, irritated, and strained. TheraTears Dry or Tired 50+ drops are specifically formulated for this. Combining 0.3% hyaluronic acid with aloe vera, they deliver five-in-one benefits: restoring, hydrating, reducing eye strain, providing lasting comfort, and offering real relief. Preservative-free, contact lens-friendly, and gentle enough for regular daily use.
SUCSEED Superblends — £12.95
And finally something joyful. SUCSEED is a beautiful range of seed and botanical superblends created by nutritionist Helen Johnston on a food-first philosophy: make wholefood nutrition effortless. For women in perimenopause, two blends stand out. Focus – combining omega-3-rich flax and chia with cognitive herbs ginkgo and rosemary, and nourishes brain health and supports mental clarity, making it a genuinely useful daily tool for brain fog. Energy – with sunflower, pumpkin, maca, and ginseng and supports steady, sustained energy without stimulants, working with your body rather than forcing it. Simply sprinkle over yoghurt, stir into a smoothie, or add to porridge or soup. Mild and nutty in flavour, endlessly versatile. Sourced from UK and European organic and regenerative farmers, and already stocked in Selfridges.
