Biossance Squalane + Firm and Lift Dual Serum
They say: A dual-phase face serum that features squalane, hyaluronic acid and a Hydralift Complex to lift and firm skin for a “sculpted” appearance.
We say: This serum is activated by shaking the bottle. Once jostled, the serum applied easily to skin with a nice feel and finish. Our tester reported an improved appearance to skin’s hydration and firmness with continued use.
Sisley Sensitive Skin Soothing Care
They say: A moisturizer that targets sensitive skin to provide daily comfort, this soothing cream features a variety of skin-soothing ingredients including golden seaweed extract, Japanese lily of the valley, shae butter and plum kernal oil to provide comfort and balance hyperreactivity.
We say: Battling both redness and discomfort with her sensitive skin, our tester applied this cream daily both morning and night. The soothing formula gives skin an instant feeling of relief without being too thick for daytime wear. Her skin felt soft and hydrated with reactive areas appearing calmed.
Avene Dermabsolu Intensive Reshaping Night Cream
They say: A night cream treatment that promises to ‘redefine’ signs of aging on skin such as loss of structure and dryness. The evening cream features a trio of active ingredients including one per cent Bakuchiol, ceramides and two per cent Niacinamide.
We say: An alternative to harsher retinol options for those with sensitive or reactive skin, this ‘intensive’ cream works to address concerns with tone and texture such as fine lines. Our tester subbed this formula into her nightly routine and reported noticing topical benefits without redness.
