I’ve been looking for a water-based last step in my routine to lock all my hydrating products in, and this works perfectly! Super light weight and gives such a lovely glow – I always wake up feeling plump and hydrated in the morning too, highly recommend.

“The Best Glow”
Love to use this over my moisturiser for a glowy base, sits nicely under my foundation (I use the Mac Face and Body) and definitely shines through! Not too oily which is good because I have combination skin. Never do a full face without it now!

The cleanser makes my face feel really clean, but it doesn’t stip my face and doesn’t leave it feeling dry. Amazing product and i will definitely repurchase!

“Hyaluronic serum”
Amazing! It has definitely firmed up my skin and made it appear more glowy- I’ve only been using it two weeks, so I would definitely recommend. The packaging is so cute too.

“Definitely worth giving it a try!”
I’ve been using this for a week or so, and I really see a difference in my skin. I feel like my skin is super hydrated and plumper. The thing I really like about this serum is that it doesn’t leave my skin feeling oily or sticky which I loved. It’s absolutely become a staple in my morning and night routine!

8. DERMALOGICA DAILY MICROFOLIANT
“Must have“
This is something I cannot do without. The best daily microfoliant I have ever used, when I say this has transformed my skin.. I mean it! The product does not feel abrasive at all but yet it does the most fantastic job on making your skin feel like you’ve just had a facial! Love love love!!!

Wonderful serum! Already getting compliments on my glow after a week, and I think fine lines around eyes are diminishing. I love how much it’s nourishing old sun damage.

“Beautiful glow”
Amazing beautiful glow, doesn’t look or feel greasy, just luminous, very comfortable on the skin.
Ioana P
“Dewy finish”
Lovely SPF with a radiant and dewy finish. Not sticky at all, which is what usually annoys me about wearing SPF. Sits nicely under my makeup too. Great product 🙂
Rose
11. DR. JART+ CERAMIDIN™ CREAM
“Must have when using retinol”
I have acne and am using a prescription stength tretinoin which can gives me some dryness and irritation. Thanks to this cream, my skin feels smooth, soft, and supple – my skin barrier has never been stronger or healthier. Although it is a thick cream it doesn’t give me any oiliness or trigger blemishes. Perfect night-time moisturiser.
Grace
“Dry skin saviour”
Having very dry skin it’s difficult to find products that add enough moisture but don’t leave a greasy feeling on the face. This is the only product I’ve found that leaves my skin soft until the end of the day.
Carla E

14. COSRX ADVANCED SNAIL 96 MUCIN POWER ESSENCE
“Moisture rich!”
I love this. It is scent free and moisturising but not too thick and perfect for layering with other moisturisers or for extra moisture. My skin is clearer and smoother when I use it. Easy to use and good staple product. Doesn’t clog pores

I have been using this product for a few months now and I can’t get enough of it. Makes me skin feel refreshed and hydrated.
