‘I have oily skin and I swear by this £16 gel moisturiser in the warmer months'
If your skin gets oily or shiny in the heat, this £16 gel moisturiser could be a game-changer as it hydrates the skin without clogging or greasiness I have pretty oily skin, and with the muggy, hot weather we've been having the past couple of days, my skin has been bordering on sweaty-looking rather than dewy and radiant (which is what I'm usually going for). That means it's time to get out the moisturiser I swear by when the temperature rises. The moisturiser in question is Facetheory's Supergel Oil-Free Moisturiser, priced at an affordable £16 for 50ml. Designed specifically for combination and blemish-prone skin, its jelly texture is oil-free, meaning it hydrates without clogging pores or leaving behind that dreaded shine Packed full of ingredients that help keep oil at bay and prevent acne from occurring, it's ideal under makeup or worn solo, especially during hot, humid days when your skin needs lightweight hydration and extra skincare benefits. I love layering under a milky toner like Beauty of Joseon's Glow Replenishing Rice Milk or BYOMA's Hydrating Milky Toner when I want that extra hydration. The ingredients that make Facehtheory's moisturiser so great include salicylic acid, which acts as a chemical exfoliant that clears out clogged pores, helps control excess oil production and reduces possible inflammation. A lifesaver in the muggy English heat that can lead to sweaty breakouts. The next star ingredient is niacinamide, which can help improve the skin's barrier function, regulate oil production, and generally improve the skin's health. Lastly, the formula features hyaluronic acid, which helps deliver a burst of moisture your skin really needs, even in the summertime, without the heaviness of thick cream or butter. The result is smooth, healthy skin that feels fresh and looks matte all day with no stickiness or greasiness in sight. And it's a product that swiftly became my everyday go-to in the summertime. My only criticism of this product is its packaging. The foil squeeze tube can be hard to get product out of when you get towards the end, which can result in a loss of moisturiser. However, I can live with the ever-so-slightly annoying packaging, considering the moisturiser works so well on my oily skin.

New retinal cream 'to rival Medik8' praised for ‘transforming skin in 2 weeks'
If you're on the hunt for a new multi-tasking skincare product that targets visible signs of ageing and dark spots, without a hefty price tag, look no further than this retinal serum The iconic skincare brand Facetheory has just launched a new multi-functional retinol cream that's sure to take over your beauty regime. Rivalling the likes of Medik8, where a similar retinal serum would retail for £45, this Retinal Supreme MultiCream is available for the more budget-friendly price of £30. Promising to banish fine lines and wrinkles, as well as dry, dull and loose skin, shoppers who have snatched up this skincare marvel have been raving about its fast and noticeable results. This serum not only targets signs of ageing, but it also works to even the skintone and minimise breakouts - all of that in one bottle, it's no wonder shoppers are flocking to buy their own. This multi-active serum and moisturiser targets all key signs of ageing in a single formula, taking over your entire skincare routine. The serum boosts collagen production, reduces lines and wrinkles, brightens, evens skin tone, smooths texture, refines pores, and deeply hydrates with six powerful ingredients. The serum features ingredients like sustained-release retinal, Granactive Retinoid, marine bio-retinol, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C, which all work together to improve the appearance of the skin for a smoother, brighter and younger-looking complexion. More effective with less irritation; this serum is equipped with retinal that is 20x more potent than retinol. It converts directly to retinoic acid, making it less irritating to even sensitive skin. Retinal firms the skin, reduces the appearance of fine lines, stimulates collagen synthesis, and rejuvenates the skin. Retailing for £30, shoppers have been singing the praises of this new serum in the reviews section. One thrilled customer shares: "Wow! I have extremely sensitive and reactive skin lately. Dry, tight and constantly flaking around my mouth and chin. This has stopped it in one night! I woke up this morning to calmer skin, redness diminished by at least 70 percent and not a flake in sight! My skin looks a million times better! I'm about to order more to stock up as this is now something I cannot live without. Thank you Facetheory. You have saved my skin." Further adoration comes from this buyer who beams: "This is my all year round day moisturiser for the last few years, it is beautifully hydrating, brightening and works well with all the other skin care products I use . I often mix in a couple of drops of the Dewy Cacao oil to give an extra dewy glow and even more hydration. It's a staple in my skincare collection, as are many of Face Theory products." A third writes: " One of the best serum I have ever used. It light weight creamy and dissolves easily into to the skin which gives the face a silky and radiant look." And this shopper says: " It's only been a week of using it, and it's already improved my skin. Its thick consistency doesn't absorb straight away. With more massaging, it goes in. I like it; it looks and feels like no-nonsense stuff." You can pick up this retinal gem for £30 at Facetheory, or if you'd prefer to splash some cash, you can get this Medik8 Crystal Retinal serum for £36 in Lookfantastic's sale. If you're keeping to a tighter budget, check out The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion Serum for £15.20 from Boots.

Eye cream that makes skin ‘less puffy and wrinkled' has 20% off
Using one of the best eye creams can be an effective way to diminish signs of ageing, and shoppers think they've found a gentle yet effective formula for reduces bags and fine lines On the lookout for a new eye cream? Next on our list to try is Facetheory's Peptide Firming Eye Cream for its effective ingredients and impressive customer reviews (almost all five star!) – especially now that it's currently included in a huge 20% off sale. For a limited time only Facetheory is taking 20% off almost everything on its website, including this eye cream as well as bestselling serums, moisturisers and cleansers. This means that this anti-ageing eye formula is now £24.80 instead of its usual £31 – and judging by some of the dozens of five-star reviews, we'd say this was one you won't want to miss. The key anti-ageing ingredients in this eye cream are peptides, currently trending in skincare at the moment thanks to smash hit launched such as Medik8's Liquid Peptides Advanced MP. In this Facetheory eye cream they're combined with vitamin C and botanicals to boost elasticity, smooth fine lines, brighten dark circles and deliver long-lasting hydration. Impressively, out of the 212 reviews that Peptide Firming Eye Cream has accumulated, most of them are five-star ones, with customers praising the results it gives on fine lines and sagging ski n. "Excellent so far, I can definitely feel the area around my eyes more firm," one shopper wrote. "I really like this cream. One of the best I tried. I use it at night and my eyes look really good by morning, less puffy and less wrinkled (I am 57 - I don't expect miracles from a cream!)," another rave review reads. "Amazing product! From the first application, it has really helped reduce puffiness under my eyes and blur fine lines, plus my concealer glides on and doesn't cake. Even my husband noticed something 'better' about my appearance which is an absolute miracle from someone who can't see the ketchup even when it's right in his eyeline (IYKYK). It's worth 5 stars just for that," a third person joked. The only minor niggle that a few people had was with the packaging, with one person saying, "My only complaint is with any of the products using the metal/foil tube is that they explode every time they're opened and a bunch of product is wasted," yet so far they are " pleased with the outcome" of using the product. If you feel like you too might find this tube annoying and would prefer a pot, consider Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado, currently reduced from £30 to £24 and great for dry or sensitive skin. Meanwhile a cheaper alternative is The Ordinary's Multi-Peptide Eye Serum, which costs £19.90.

Facetheory is offering 25% off 'glowy' face serum that 'works magic' straight away
"I have been using this serum for around 3 months. I think that it does give you a glow. I just love that it hydrates my very dry skin. As soon as you apply it I can feel it kind of starting to work its magic." Facetheory has knocked 25% off its entire website and there's two free gifts - a blusher and cosmetic pouch - when spending £50. The sale includes the Glow-C Vitamin C 30% Serum which usually costs £34. With the sale discount it's down to £25.50, which means shoppers would have to order two or combine with other products to get the free products. It automatically comes with free delivery. The product is said to have a slight citrus scent and a silky lightweight feel. It uses amino acids and 30% Vitamin C to target dullness, pigmentation and skin tone whilst also brightening and giving a 'glow'. This is a common report with vitamin C serums as seen with the C15 Super Booster from Paula's Choice, £52, or the La Roche-Posay Vitamin C12 Serum Anti-Wrinkle and Radiance Restoring Serum, £45. Facetheory's serum has an average rating of 4.48 out of five from across 691 reviews. One shopper said: "I have been using this serum for around 3 months. I think that it does give you a glow. I just love that it hydrates my very dry skin. As soon as you apply it I can feel it kind of starting to work its magic." A second penned: "Love this glow-C vitamin c serum . Absorbs into the skin really well. No sticky residue, not been using long but feel it's giving my skin the vitamin c it needs." A third wrote: "I did some research about vitamin c, and that led me to purchase this serum. The price is great, and beats a lot of other vitamin c products out there because of the percentage of vitamin c. I've been using this for 2 weeks and love it. I use it after cleansing and it leaves my skin very dewy/glowy. I've not experienced any irritation and I'm thoroughly impressed. I love it!" A fourth added: "I like the fact that it glows my skin. It has no smell which I love and a little goes a long way. I have a combination skin and it's perfect, it doesn't make my skin look or feel greasy." One shopper found it to be too oily, and even suggested a change to the formula that they would prefer, writing: "It works, but too oily that I broke out, can you replace the olive oil with squalane and reduce the Propanediol to make it less oily?" Facetheory responded to the shopper saying: "For some individuals, especially those with oily or acne-prone skin, high concentrations of vitamin C can potentially lead to increased oil production and breakouts. Reducing the frequency and amount you use may help to reduce the breakouts. We value your input and will consider your suggestions for future product improvements."
