Best Cleansers

Cerave Hydrating Cleanser A brilliant budget buy, perfect for dry/sensitive skin, this cleanser restores the skin’s natural balance and removes all traces of makeup (although not waterproof mascara!).

SVR Physiopure Micellar Water This is a great micellar water that purifies, detoxifies and removes makeup, without leaving your skin feeling tight. It’s your one-stop cleansing shop! 


Best eye makeup removers

Clinique Take The Day Off Lids Lashes and Lips Remove eye makeup and stubborn lipstick effortlessly with this hard-working, bi-phase product.

Bioderma Sensibio H20 Makeup Removing Solution If you’ve got sensitive eyes and skin, this is the makeup remover for you. It soothes skin, leaving it feeling fresh and comfortable. We love this cute mini size for travel.  


Best exfoliator/peel

Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel We’re hooked on these 2-step treatment pads that use a powerful, but gentle blend of acids to refine the skin, even tone and texture and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and pores. Prepare for skin to look glowy and radiant after using. They don’t come cheap, but no need to use more than once a week, despite the name!

Pixi Glow Tonic A cult product that lives up to its hype, this daily lotion contains glycolic acid to clarify skin and leave it looking refined and radiant. A great price and brilliant for problem skins.


Best cleansing cloths

Magnitone London WipeOut You’ll fall in love with this velvety soft microfibre cleansing cloth. It’s efficient enough to use just with water, or with your favourite cleansing product.


Best moisturisers

Murad Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisture We love this rich, super hydrating moisturiser that melts into skin and leaves it feeling plump and soft all day long, thanks to ingredients such as avocado, sunflower and olive. The ultimate choice for dry, dehydrated skin.

AHC Aqualuronic Cream  A lightweight gel cream that locks in moisture and is easily absorbed. Transforms your skin from dull and dry to dewy and glowing. A great choice for summer and perfect for combination skins.

Clarins Multi Active Day Cream SPF20  This light, fresh cream is packed with ingredients to correct and prevent the first signs of ageing and to give skin a youthful radiance. 


Elemis Pro Collagen Oxygenating Night Cream This gorgeous cream is worth the splurge…we promise! We can honestly say our skin feels fabulous each morning and it’s a joy to use. It works hard to oxygenate skin and encourage the regeneration process, whilst stimulating cell turnover.

Rodial Pink Diamond Magic Gel Night An obsession of ours, we can’t get enough of this luxurious, velvety soft gel. With diamond powder, retinol and vitamin C, your skin will be lifted and illuminated overnight. We promise you’ll wake up to beautifully soft, bright skin.

Best night cream


Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronised Recovery Complex II We love this magic serum. Apply under your night cream (& this new version can be used in the morning too), to ensure a plump, smooth and luminous complexion. It works on lines and wrinkles and promises to brighten and hydrate skin. We couldn’t be without it!

Best night serum


Shiseido White Lucent Illuminating Micro Spot Serum A wonder product when it comes to evening out skin tone, pigmentation and those pesky age spots. Your skin will feel and look brighter, younger and more luminous in no time.

Best for uneven skin tone & PIGMENTATION


Dead Sea Magik Spot On Gel  This brilliant gel zaps away spots overnight (you can use during the day too! ) and minimises redness and irritation. It’s not drying and best of all, it can be used under and over your makeup.

Best spot treatment


Ameliorate Intensive Lip Treatment This cream works hard to hydrate and provide relief to sore and chapped lips. Non-greasy and a winner with the whole family, it works perfectly under lipsticks and glosses.

Dr Lipp Original Nipple Balm Effectively the glossy version of the above, this balm is brilliant for healing sore lips and soothing sore and dry skin elsewhere too. We love to apply to cuticles, split ends, burns, dry skin patches…

Best lip balm / treatment


Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged complex A super-light gel cream that glides on like silk and hydrates, smoothes and rejuvenates the eye area. We like to call this an ‘eye cream all-rounder’.

Best eye cream for fine lines and wrinkles


Polaar IcyMagic Instant Eye Contour Multi Energiser You get instant results with this invigorating roll-on treatment that cools on application and immediately depuffs those peepers.

Best eye cream for puffiness and dark circles


Prai Ageless Throat & Decolletage Creme – This rich, nourishing cream smoothes skin and has an immediate tightening effect. We think it’s a great product for the price.

Best neck and décolletage cream


La Roche Posay Effaclar Range We really rate this system with products to purify skin, control excess sebum and unblock pores. Skin looks and feels clearer in a matter of weeks.

Best brand for teen skin


Medik8 C-Tetra Serum Vitamin C is an anti ageing powerhouse that brightens sluggish skin, boosts collagen and protects against the environment. We love this lightweight, non-greasy serum that leaves skin looking radiant and feeling supple.

Best vitamin C serum


Skinceuticals Retinol 0.3 Perfect for first time retinol users, this night cream has been designed to minimise any possible irritation and to transform the appearance of your skin. If you’re looking to introduce retinol into your regime, this is your secret weapon.

Best retinol treatment


Best hyaluronic acid

Hada Labo Tokyo Super Hydrator Lotion
This is the best selling brand in Japan and for good reason. The products are all based around hyaluronic acid, and work brilliantly to keep skin soft, smooth and hydrated all day long. The pure hyaluronic acid serum is a light liquid that doesn’t leave skin feeling sticky.


Ultra Violette Queen Screen SPF50 We still can’t believe that this lightweight serum boasts an SPF50+ It literally disappears into the skin, without a hint of stickiness, and doesn’t pill or leave a white cast. Plus it has the delicious scent of roses. It’s the ultimate SPF make-up base.

And if you’re looking for an SPF to wear OVER your makeup, then look no further than Kate Somerville UncompliKated SPF50. This superfine, protective mist helps to set your makeup, and leaves skin looking smooth and radiant.

Best daily SPF
