Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream
Product Description
A third reviewer noted: "I can confidently say it's one of the best moisturisers I've ever tried, the texture is rich yet lightweight, absorbing beautifully into the skin without feeling greasy or heavy. It provides intense hydration while leaving my skin feeling soft, smooth, and perfectly balanced."
There has been very minimal criticism of the product, but some were left unimpressed by the results: "A few days after of use day and night I didn't feel my skin more hydrated and actually felt the product wasn't really absorbing and was rather just sitting on top of it. It is also quite sticky in my opinion."
As an alternative, you might consider the Clinique Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator, available for £42 at Boots. Packed with a combination of vitamins C and E, it works to combat daily moisture-sapping elements.
The product enjoys a 4.7 rating from 789 reviews. "My skin has never felt so soft and hydrated, and the softness lasts all day," commented one purchaser.
For a more budget-friendly option, there's the Vichy Mineral 89 100H Rich Cream. Currently £19.60 at LookFantastic, it promises to deliver up to 100 hours of skin-quenching hydration whilst visibly plumping, smoothing and brightening.
More than 120 reviewers have awarded it an average rating of 4.6: "It has a rich creamy texture but is absorbed really quickly when applied so does not leave your skin feeling sticky. It irons out the fine lines around my eyes and leaves my face feeling constantly hydrated."
Shoppers can get the £48 Medik8 Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream from Medik8, Space NK or Cult Beauty.

K18's new heat protectant may be pricey, but its longevity is unmatched
K18 is fast becoming my go-to brand for effective hair repair formulas, so I jumped at the chance to try its new heatbounce heat protection spray (£48, As the eighth product in its roster, the brand now has an all encompassing collection that covers all your needs, including cleansing, conditioning, smoothing, volumising, repairing and protecting. First, the molecular repair leave-in conditioner (£30, convinced loyal Olaplex users to make the switch to K18. Then came the airwash dry shampoo ( which had even sceptical TikTokers defending its £48 price tag. And now, I'm left wondering – could the brand's latest release really be worth yet another £48? As a beauty writer who tests haircare products day on the daily, I'm not an easy test subject to win over, but even I can't deny heatbounce's unique appeal: that its protection lasts through multiple styling sessions. Scroll on for my honest verdict after trialling with a variety of heat tools. How I tested Testing over the course of three weeks (with early access to the product), I used K18's heatbounce conditioning heat protection spray on my hair in three different settings: before using my hair dryer, before using hair straighteners and before using a hair curler. I applied enough spray to adequately coat my fine-medium thickness hair (around 10 pumps), before brushing and styling as usual. During use, I paid attention to the following criteria: Scent: I considered whether the formula had a scent and, if so, whether it was pleasant or had staying power post-styling Ease of use: With such a high price tag, I wanted a small amount of the formula to go a long way, so I noted how moveable the liquid was once on the hair itself, plus the surface coverage of the mister (was it a fine, widespread mist or more of a powerful stream?) Conditioning benefits: The product mentions conditioning in its name, so I assessed whether or not my hair felt moisturised or dry after use. Protection effectiveness: When my hair suffers heat damage, it leaves a bitter odor in the damage's wake, which was convenient when testing a heat protector. In addition to this unpleasant scent, I inspected my hair post-drying, curling and straightening for any signs of brittleness and notable split ends. However, the latter was more difficult to associate with this particular product, rather than any prior heat damage.
