Once tried, immediately addicted - that's how we felt when we first used this. It'd been sitting on the bathroom shelf for a month or two in a 'holding pattern' round our skincare regime - welcome to a beauty editor's life! - and then one morning, looking into the mirror and seeing a serious case of the 'skin blahs', it found its moment in the spotlight. And is staying right there.

It's a combination of the gorgeous, violet-y/rose scent, together with a fabulously, instantly skin-plumping action, that's hooked us. But it's also brilliantly line-blurring: there are reflective polymers in there which smooth out the surface of the skin, refracting light beautifully.

It's rich enough for a winter morning, we're finding: a delight for the complexion, and for all the senses.
