The Skin-Preserving Products Our Beauty Team Love
Orin Carlin, Beauty Writer
Serum, from £37.95
“I’ve always taken care of my skin but am definitely thinking more about how I can slow down the visible signs of skin ageing. For me, serums – often the most active-filled step in your routine – are the best place to start. This one is proven to reduce skin ageing activity within minutes of application and preserve the skin for 24 hours*. It is formulated with a blend of antioxidants – including camellia leaf, myrtle leaf, and vitamins C and E – alongside a unique super peptide complex and rice peptides. Together, they help protect against oxidative stress and protein degrading enzymes within the skin whilst supporting natural levels of collagen and elastic fibre. Science aside, I love the silky texture and the way it layers well with other products in the Prime Forever skincare range.”

SPF 50 Primer, £24.95
“I discovered this primer recently and it’s since become a go-to for prepping my skin during the good weather. First, it contains SPF 50 and is five-star UVA rated, offering a high level of protection against sun damage. Secondly, it’s full of peptides, niacinamide and antioxidants but most importantly, it effectively primes skin for make-up, absorbing quickly to leave a hydrated, non-greasy base.”

Transformative Gel-Oil-Milk Cleanser, £19.95
“There’s a big difference between a face wash that just gets rid of grime and a cleanser that truly acts as a skincare step. This sits firmly in the latter camp. It has a pleasing and rich texture that deeply cleanses to prepare skin to tackle the impact of accelerated ageing factors. Once removed, it leaves skin feeling hydrated, not dry,”

Weightless Moisturiser, £37.95
“I turned 40 this year and can very much relate to the fact that 80% of people in this decade say they wish they’d taken better care of their skin sooner. Luckily, I’ve still got some time on my side but I want to help preserve what’s there. The Glaciology technology in the No7 Prime Forever range caught my attention as it contains an advanced antioxidant blend that delivers broad-spectrum protection against a wide range of free radicals triggered by stressors such as UV, pollution and lack of sleep.”
