Best For Tackling Signs Of Aging

Designed to be applied as the final step in your skincare routine, this gentle cream blends the benefits of a moisturiser and SPF into one hardworking tube. Non-greasy and acting like a primer, it not only protects the skin from harmful UV rays but also protects the skin from premature signs of ageing, too.

Best Lightweight Feel

High levels of hyaluronic are what makes this skin-quencher a winner for anyone on the drier side. Perfect under make-up or on its own, it creates a natural, dewy finish. Plus, added mistletoe extract will help heal damaged, broken or sensitive skin – encouraging better cell turnover and faster recovery.

Best For Oily Skin
Anthelios Anti-Shine Sun Cream Gel SPF50+, £20.90 | La Roche-Posay
There’s a reason make-up artists and beauty insiders rate La Roche-Posay SPFs. Now, this gel cream takes the best of the brand's protective formulas, merging them with a light but nourishing gel cream that’s perfect for everyday use. It’s particularly good if your skin falls on the oily side, as it limits the production of excess oil. Skin won’t look or feel greasy – and your make-up won’t slip or pill either.

Best Hydrator
Moisture Surge™ 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator, £26 | Clinique
Clinique’s Moisture Surge does exactly what it says on the tin. Brimming with hydrating and nourishing aloe bioferment and a hyaluronic acid complex, this is the perfect daily cream for dry skin. It instantly plumps and boosts glow with each use, while the ultra-thin texture won’t be noticeable under make-up. As well as SPF, it also contains provitamin D to protect barrier function – thereby combatting imperfections, irritants and excess dryness.
