Charged by a powerful cocktail of antioxidants, Sunday Riley’s Afterglow is an effective all-rounder.

Hydration is a priority across the board for leading K-Beauty brand Laneige, and its Water Bank Gel is no exception.

Moisturising Gel Cream, £12 | Byoma
Best For: Affordability
It’s likely you’ll have already seen Byoma’s playful, cheery packaging on the shelves, but its Moisturising Gel Cream is a no-brainer if you’re on a budget. Its clever tri-ceramide complex (a blend of ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids) strengthens the skin barrier and replenishes essential lipids, leaving it feeling supple and bouncy.

Violet Water Hydra Gel, £53 | Oskia
Best For: Blemish-Prone Skin
Designed to calm breakouts and regulate sebum production, make this your go-to if you’re in need of hydration but dont’ want to aggravate existing spots. It contains azeloglicina – a derivative of azelaic acid – which helps to reduce redness and ease inflammation. Light and non-greasy, the oil-free formula sits comfortably on acneic skin, while the subtle hint of rose is indulgent and spa-like.

Cloud Dew Oil-Free Gel Cream, £45 | Summer Fridays
Best For: Smoother Texture
Another hardworking multi-tasker is the Cloud Dew Cream by Summer Fridays. The lightweight gel formula is full of classic hydrators like ceramides, hyaluronic acid and glycerin, but the ingredient list also includes pineapple enzymes, which gently slough away dead skin cells, revealing a brighter, more even complexion.

Nordic Hydra [Lähde] Water Gel, £24 | Lumene
Best For: Deep, Lasting Hydration
Designed to hydrate on a deeper level, this formula by Lumene is well-suited to warm weather. It feels instantly soothing on the skin, especially so if you’ve been soaking up the sun. The formula contains Nordic birch sap and the skin-plumping powerhouse hyaluronic acid in various molecular weights – small to penetrate deeper and large to create a moisturising barrier. Pop it in the fridge for an extra cooling effect.
