ULTRASONIC C-200

Budding chefs will soon be able to chop like a pro. The new Ultrasonic C-200 knife got its grand unveiling at CES, and it features a clever cutter that vibrates at more than 30,000 times per second.

This shockwave technology helps it slice through food with ultimate precision and 50% less force than a standard knife. Its makers say the buzzing blade makes it feel sharper than it physically is.

The Ultrasonic C-200 will go on sale in the spring and expect to pay around £350.

L'ORÉAL FACE MASK

Strap this new mask to your head and tackle those wrinkles. This new innovation from L'Oréal uses LED lights to help firm up skin and make things feel a little smoother.

It also features a flexible silicone design to fit all faces, and a timer to remind you when to remove it.

There'll be a bit of a wait for it, though, with an expected launch in 2027.
