“I use this after I’ve taken my makeup off, I prefer something gel-based because I feel like it gives my Skin a deeper cleanse. It’s soap-free so isn’t drying and doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight, dry or irritated. It’s really enjoyable to use, which I know sounds wanky but it’s true!” Lucy Partington, Beauty WriterCLICK HERE FOR BEST PRICE

“I LOVE Dr Hauschka’s clarifying face oil, my skin can bounce between being super-dry and super-oily, so when it’s on the oilier side I reach for this. Don’t ask me how it does it, but somehow the formula ‘balances my skin’ and brings it back to a happy medium. It reduces shine, calms redness, and actually helps to prevent breakouts before they happen.” Victoria Jowett, Digital Beauty 

“One of the things I want most in life (apart from an endless supply of Dairy Milk) is glowing skin. Normally I can only achieve the glow I like from makeup but after using this decongesting face mask, my skin literally glows through my foundation. Packed with three different types of clay, it does have quite a tingling effect but it’s well worth it for the end result.” Laura Capon, Digital Beauty Writer

“The quicker I can get my makeup off the better, that’s why I love this balm as I can just rub it all over my face, rinse with a wet flannel and it gets rid of everything in one go. Way quicker than scrubbing your face with 5 orange stained makeup wipes.” Laura Capon, Digital Beauty Writer

“I’m constantly surprised at how irritating make-up removers can be. My eyes are bloodshot enough at the end of the day without rubbing some stingy-as-hell solution into them. Nivea’s offering totally delivers on its gentle-yet-effective promise. It’s cooling on the skin and you don’t even have to rub at your eyes to break down stubborn mascara or layered-on liner. Oh, and what a bargain!” Cassie Powney, Beauty Editor

“I’m an impatient person, I like to see a difference the day after I use a product and no other serum works quite as hard as this one from Colbert MD. The formula is loaded with glycolic acid, which helps improve skin texture and tone, leaving my complexion clearer pretty much overnight.” Victoria Jowett, Digital Beauty Editor

“I wouldn’t say I’m a loyal fan of one moisturizer, but I’m nearly at the end of this pot of creamy loveliness, which is a good sign. Recently updated with a higher hit of Immortelle essential oil (which boasts double the anti-ageing anti-oxidants of Vitamin E, apparently), I’ve had more skin compliments than ever, despite my Botox wearing off, having full-blown flu and not enjoying an unbroken night’s sleep in eighteen months (don’t have kids, kids).” Cassie Powney, Beauty Editor

“It’s pretty tricky keeping vitamin C stable in skincare, due to its effectiveness taking a nose dive once it’s exposed to oxygen. But there’s no denying its plumping and brightening benefits, so brands keep trying. This one is water free (despite its watery texture), and the vitamin C has a coating that blocks the oxygen-sensitive part of the molecule. My skin looked airbrushed after a week’s use.” Cassie Powney, Beauty Editor

“I like my cleanser to do just that, cleanse. I really don’t have the time or patience to triple cleanse my face every day with a balm, oil, and then a cream. I just want one product that does the whole job (preferably in less time than it takes to make a cup of tea). NYR Rose Face Wash does just that, removes all my makeup, including mascara, and leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean – with stripping it of all it’s moisture. Basic, but it works.” Victoria Jowett, Digital Beauty Editor

“Hyaluronic acid is my favorite skincare ingredient and its the one thing I wouldn’t be without because it makes such a difference in plumping out those fine lines that are becoming more and more common now I’m in my thirties. This one by the Ordinary is the most effective you will find for the price.” Laura Capon, Digital Beauty Writer

“I can’t bear the feel of heavy/rich creams on my combination skin, which is why I have used countless jars of this Clinique one. The gel-cream texture feels light on the skin and it absorbs quickly, whilst leaving my skin looking instantly plumped. It’s also a life savior come summer when you can’t bear to apply anything to your sweaty face.” Laura Capon, Digital Beauty Writer

“Probably the best HA serum that I’ve found. You can really tell the difference between cheaper and more expensive formulas, and while I do recommend cheaper ones as an entry point into using HA (mostly The Ordinary), this is a great upgrade. I apply onto damp skin (I usually use La Roche Posay Serozinc after washing my face and apply this straight after – it helps it absorb better).” Lucy Partington, Beauty Writer
