4 tried and tested products we love
Squalane Cleanser | £4.23 (Was £5.50) from The Ordinary
This is our all-time favourite product from The Ordinary. It's a creamy balm that melts down full-coverage foundation, stubborn lipstick and even waterproof mascara with ease, to leave skin clean, soft and glowing.
To remove make-up, simply massage onto a dry face and take off with a lukewarm flannel, however you can also use this in the morning when applied to damp skin for a refreshing way to start the day. Rich in squalane, an ingredient which strengthens the skin barrier, it's ideal if you have sensitive skin that's prone to redness and irritation. Now available for less than £5, we're stocking up.
Multi-Peptide Lash and Brow Serum | £9.55 (Was £12.50) from The Ordinary
A newer addition to The Ordinary is its Lash and Brow Serum, which not only works to condition hair, but to volumise too, in turn creating a thicker, fuller effect. As expected, The Ordinary offers one of the most reasonably priced lash and brow serums on the market, with its competitor products often costing upwards of £50, so this is an absolute steal. The water-based serum is easy to apply using the tiny brush which evenly coats hairs and won't irritate sensitive eyes.
Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% | £6.62 (Was £8.60) from The Ordinary
If an uneven skin tone and blemishes are your skincare bugbear, try incorporating azelaic acid into your routine. The creamy formula is fast-acting to reduce skin redness while brightening and is gentle enough to use every day. It has a matte finish, so is a great base underneath make-up too.
Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG | £4.95 (Was £6.40) from The Ordinary
Tackle dark circles in time for party season with this caffeine-rich solution. It's a thin, watery texture that's fast-absorbing and does a stellar job at improving the appearance of tired eyes. Like an eight-hour sleep in a jar, it's suitable for all skin types and despite costing less than a fiver, gets noticeable results on tackling under-eye puffiness too.
