Shoppers say £11 dewy face mist makes '50 year old skin feel so much younger'
This popular high street skincare brand has just launched a new duo for creating healthy, hydrated skin this summer, and shoppers are already totally won over by the products
Almost everyone's skin could benefit from extra hydration, especially in summer, when complexions can become drier and more dehydrated than usual. Luckily, one of our favourite skincare brands has just launched a simple two-step solution consisting of a cleanser and a face mist – and prices start from £6.50.
The INKEY List – a brand that's much-loved by customers and beauty editors alike for its effective formulas and great value prices – has just launched a new Hydrating Cream-to-Milk Cleanser, £13, and a Hydro-Surge Dewy Face Mist, £11. There's also a mini 50ml bottle of the cleanser (perfect for travel) for £6.50, and the two products can be bought together in a bundle for £22.80, saving you money compared to buying them individually (you also get a free washbag).
Any skincare should start with a cleanser, and this new INKEY List one has a lightweight, creamy consistency that's clinically proven to give 24-hour hydration. One 59 year old called it "truly glorious", and "rich, unctuous without being cloying, and truly lovely". Other reviews call it " wow in a bottle", "one of my favourite products" and "very effective and a good price".
Other alternative creamy cleanser we love include Skin Rocks The Cream Cleanser, £32, La Roche Posay Toleriane Dermo Cleanser, £23.50, and BYOMA Milky Moisture Cleanser, £14.
The INKEY List's Hydro-Surge Dewy Face Mist, meanwhile, can be used either after cleansing, after moisturiser or SPF, or throughout the day as needed. It contains ingredients to give both instant and long-lasting moisture and a radiant glow, with tests showing 12 hours of hydration.
It's the shopper reviews, however, that are especially impressive. "Oh my goodness! This dewy face mist make my 50-year-old face feel so much younger," one person wrote. "The mist gives my skin a nice youthful glow. Just right amount of hydration to reapply throughout the day. A game changer for my skin care routine."
"Brilliant refreshing face mist," another shopper said. "It kept my make-up looking lovely all day and felt lovely on my bare face too! The packaging is simple and sophisticated looking, I haven't noticed a scent to this product but it works brilliantly."
A third person called it "the perfect product for creating a glazed look", continuing: "This product has become my holy grail for achieving the perfect dewy look. It gives my make-up an instant dewy fresh look and makes my skin look so glazed. Instantly gives a plumping effect to my skin and my skin feels hydrated throughout the day."
One person, however, remarked that, although they liked it, it may not be suitable for oily skin, writing, "I really liked at first but it can be a little too much if I'm having a super oily day. It's great for dry or normal skin but for my combo skin I have to be careful not to over-apply." If this sounds like your skin type, you might get on better with a more mattifying mist such as La Roche-Posay Serozinc, £12 or PIXI Clarity Mist, £16, both of which are also great for breakouts.

9 of the best new anti-ageing face sunscreens for all skin types, tested by beauty experts
Most of us are aware we should be applying sunscreen year-round, even when it's grey and cloudy outside. It's well known that an SPF can block sunburns and prevent skin cancer, but many dermatologists agree that it's also the best skincare product for slowing signs of ageing, such as hyperpigmentation and wrinkles. Which is exactly why we should all get into the habit of wearing sunscreen every day (if you aren't already doing so). The key to consistency is finding a face sunscreen that you love. To make that search a little easier for you, we at YOU magazine have been testing a bunch of new SPFs (some even on holiday). So, scroll down for nine of the very best face sunscreens you can buy for summer, reviewed by the YOU team. £25 Shop Who tested it? Rosie Green, beauty editor Skin type? Rosacea prone Age? 51 Why we love it? I've finally found sunscreen nirvana and it comes in the form of La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVAir SPF 50+. Why is it so good? Well, it feels weightless on the skin. Sinks in quickly. Leaves no white cast. It smells heavenly (fresh, but not overly scented). And it doesn't make my skin feel greasy or trigger my rosacea, just lightly hydrates. It feels like a pleasure not a chore. Frankly, it's a skincare miracle. Laneige Hydro UV Defense EX SPF 50 £26 Shop Who tested it? Charlotte Vossen, deputy digital editor Skin type? Sensitive Age? 29 Why we love it? There are four things I look for in a face SPF; it needs to be fragrance-free, hydrating, offer broad spectrum protection and have an SPF rating of 50 or higher, and deliver a dewy finish without looking greasy. I had high hopes for this as I'm obsessed with Korean sunscreens, and while it does deliver on three of the four – it's lightweight yet hydrating, offers SPF 50+, and gives the skin a fresh glow – it does contain fragrance. £31 Shop Who tested it? Jessica Carroll, junior style editor Skin type? Combination Age? 28 Why we love it? I loved trying out the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow SPF 30. It's a really light consistency which is great as it meant it absorbed really quickly and didn't require much rubbing for the white cream to disappear into my skin. I like to wear makeup over my SPF and this didn't make my makeup pile or slip off. It also has a really nice watermelon smell which might put some people off but I loved it. The only thing I would change would be to make it a SPF 50 as I like as much protection as possible with my SPF. £20 Shop Who tested it? Lila Flint-Roberts, senior bookings editor Skin type? Sensitive Age? 30 Why we love it? It's very lightweight, absorbs quickly, doesn't leave a white cast and is actually quite glowy, like a primer. It's not scented but has a slight tang owing to the vitamin C. I reapplied every hour while I was on holiday in Tuscany and it built quite nicely – didn't go too claggy or flakey! At £20 it's also affordable, so I'd definitely repurchase. The Organic Pharmacy Daily Mineral SPF 30 UV Protection £45 Shop Who tested it? Marion Jones, sub editor Skin type? Sensitive and dry Age? 62 Why we love it? Its holiday feel isn't quite what I want in the city - although the scent disappears as soon as it's smoothed on – and application is serviceable rather than luxuriant. But then, heaven, it has an invisible matt finish and, though just SPF 30, its mineral filters and botanicals prevent the usual pink hue my pale skin develops at the first hint of sun. I always prefer eco products and this one is impressive. Rituals The Ritual of Namaste Daily Moisturiser SPF 50 £40 Shop Who tested it? Sophie Hines, digital and lifestyle editor Skin type? Normal Age? 37 Why we love it? I didn't actually realise that Rituals do SPFs – I associate the brand more with bath and body products – but I really liked this product. It's great to see such a high factor SPF combined with a moisturiser, as many of the moisturisers I've tried before are closer to SPF 15 than 50. It feels light but nourishing on the skin, and goes well under make-up without making my face all shiny (a personal hate!). I think it would be hard for this to tear me away from La Roche-Posay SPF, especially with a £40 price tag, but I certainly think it's a good all-rounder. Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 30 £32 Shop Who tested it? Scarlett Dargan, features writer Skin type? Combination Age? 26 Why we love it? I was initially a bit worried because I often find new products (in particular, new SPFs) clog up my pores and cause me to break out. But I honestly cannot recommend this product enough. It's so velvety to apply, soaks in instantly, feels weightless when on and layers perfectly under make-up. The grippy primer claims on the packet are definitely true! I struggle with an oily T-zone when I'm on holiday but this didn't cause any greasiness, made my pores look smoother, and meant I didn't burn, at all, during my trip to Turkey (and I'm ginger, so that's impressive). I'll definitely be using this from now on. £77 Shop Who tested it? Natasha Tomalin-Hall, creative director Skin type? Sensitive Age? 37 Why we love it? Having sensitive skin means I have to be really careful with SPF as it can quickly cause upset and breakouts. This formula was really gentle and caused no stress to my skin whatsoever. The smell was neutral and the texture quite light. On application the product took a little time to absorb and went on quite white initially, but once absorbed it wasn't greasy and almost totally disappeared. It cost a little more than I would usually spend on SPF but worth it for the feel and efficacy. I would buy it again. £50 Shop Who tested it? Sophie Dearden-Howell, fashion director Skin type? Combination Age? 34 Why we love it? This SPF serum has a shimmer and tint that looks quite dark when you first apply it, but as you rub it in, it adds a healthy glow. It's on the thicker side, so I'd wait a minute and let it absorb in the skin before applying make-up, but it does make for a really gorgeous base. Plus, I love the packaging – it's super easy to use and you don't have to worry about it exploding in your wash bag.

This $15 anti-aging serum delivered ‘impressive results in very little time'
The Ordinary needs no introduction. It is renowned for creating affordable yet innovative skincare products that work. One of its latest launches is no exception: a growth factor face serum that addresses multiple visible signs of aging at a fraction of its competitors' prices. But does it deliver? I put it to the test before it launched. Growth factors are fast becoming the next buzz-worthy skincare ingredient. They are proteins that naturally occur in our skin cells — simply put, they act as messengers to various mechanisms in the skin, signaling it to repair and rejuvenate. They do so by stimulating skin cell turnover and the production of collagen and elastin — the fundamentals of keeping skin smooth and firm. With age, growth factors deplete, so the skin is less able to repair itself from environmental damage like UV light and pollution, leading to premature signs of aging. By replenishing these growth factors, old skin cells start acting like younger skin cells again. The science isn't new — growth factors were first discovered by scientists in the 1950s who went on to win a Nobel Prize for their work, and luxury skincare brands started infusing their formulas with the regenerating ingredient in the 1990s. But what is new is having access to this advanced science for the first time at a bargain price. Typically, it's only high-end and hugely expensive skincare brands that carry growth factor skincare, excluding The Inkey List's offering, although it's hard to compare when it's not as highly concentrated. But The Ordinary's serum is cheap at $15.50 — so I wanted to see how it performed. How I tested I am an experienced beauty editor in my 40s with typical signs of skin aging, including pigmentation, fine lines, and a loss of firmness. I tested the product every day for three weeks (both in my morning and evening skincare routines) under the same moisturizer.
