Regular readers will know: we’re pretty big on cream-gel formulations. We truly LOVE them. With a blissful, quenching texture, they feel like they’re delivering a real super-shot of moisture to skin, immediately. (And there’s many a British skin that could use that, right now.)

It’s clever stuff. A clinical study of 20 testers showed that moisture retention was improved for a full five days after use, while it worked to repair the skin’s barrier in just 30 minutes. That’s just so important – and so often underestimated; when the complexion’s barrier is impaired, your skin’s own moisture just seeps out. We’re equally bothered about what we experience ourselves, though – as with any product. And this is smoothing, calming, thirst-quenching.

Murad Age Reform Nutrient-Charged Water Gel is good even for the oiliest skins – yet somehow feels just fine on drier complexions like ours, plumping up skin and smoothing it out. (It’s a great canvas for summer make-up, NB. And it still is, officially, summer.)

Not cheap – but it goes a l-o-n-g way.
