There’s an army of masks and creams packed with ingredients to nourish, protect, brighten, plump and improve the overall appearance of skin and you don’t have to do any of the hard work.

A light gel formula infused with botanicals and fruit extracts to protect the skin from free radical damage, Mulberry extract evens skin tone making it appear brighter whilst glycolic acid works on the surface to smooth fine lines and improve the skin’s texture.
A product that’s created a lot of noise since its launch, this contains lactic acid to slough away dead skin cells revealing a brighter and more radiant complexion, as well as reducing the appearance fine lines and wrinkles.
It has anti-ageing properties, evens discolouration and hydrates.

This one is a serious multi-tasker and one that gives immediate results. Containing both BHAs and AHAs this works on both the appearance of the skin as well as cleansing the pores tackling blemishes and acne prone skin. Vitamins A + C work to brighten and protect whilst sodium hyaluronate hydrates.

Have you tried any of these night shifters?

I love the Nip and Fab glycolic range, the overnight gel included. If my skin is a bit dull/ spotty I put this on and it’s a lot better when I wake up. What do you think of the Superdrug one? I keep looking at it and wondering if it’s any good considering how cheap it is, it’s on buy one get one free at the moment as well, Em x

If you get blemishes try the ones with salicylic too, it’s great for fighting bacteria and deep pore cleansing. I was actually impressed with the Superdrug one, it’s a bit like a liquid gel but not sticky. My skin felt super soft the next day! there’s other Superdrug products I’m using right now that are great also. I’ll have to write a review xx

Desperate to try the Sunday Riley stuff. Maybe after Christmas. Currently I’m working on the Indeed Labs retinol reface serum and it is dreamy. My skin is so soft.. Contemplating putting it everywhere.. Arms, feet.. Seems excessive and expensive, but Cleopatra bathed in donkey milk, and really, I can’t see how I’m any different.

I didn’t like it at first so it took a couple of uses to like it, I want to try the Indeed Labs range.
Yes absolutely! Fit for a Queen and all that 🙂

How long did it take the Sunday Riley stuff to work for you? Its tricky throwing down that much cash for something that you can’t guarantee results from. I went through about £200 worth of Kiehls stuff used it religiously and got nothing out of it. Not that I expect an instant result, obviously.. But something. Very tempted by Luna by SR.
