How to Choose a Face Oil or Serum That Works For You

Face oils and serums can play a crucial role in your anti-ageing wellness, helping to create a smooth base for moisturiser, sun lotion and foundation. But with so many products out there, which do you plump for? Here’s a list of the best oils and serums out there – at a range of prices – to help get you started.

L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser X3 Renew Super Serum. At £16, this serum is the most inexpensive option on this list and readily available on the shelves of your local pharmacy. , L’Oreal’s Super Serum works by targeting your wrinkles and rejuvenating your ageing skin due to its Pro-Xylane ingredient. A six-month study found that the serum reduced the appearance of crow’s feet and boosted skin density.

Sanctuary Spa Power Peptide Serum. Particularly targeting the deep wrinkles around your eyes, lips and forehead, this serum is equipped with the active ingredient Matrixyl Synthe’6, which has been clinically proven to ‘stimulate production of the skin’s six major building blocks’. The rich quality of the serum comes from a combination of hyaluronic acid and nourishing oils such as jojoba and pomegranate, which will leave your skin feeling smoother and firmer with a youthful glow. It costs £25, but you’ll find a little goes a long way.

Suti Rejuvenate Face Oil. The £32 price tag may give you pause to consider your financial wellness, but the makers insist two to three drops each time is all you need. Suti’s Rejuvenate Face Oil contains evening Primrose oil, sandalwood and frankincense, all of which help to heal and repair your skin while promoting cell growth. Plus, rosehip seed oil restores elasticity, argan oil calms irritated and blemished skin and the neroli and tangerine oils will give you a good-mood boost.

Clarins Double Serum Complete Age Control Concentrate – This is our most expensive item, costing £55, but the formula is designed to firm and even your skin, reduce visible pores, smooth wrinkles, and leave behind a soft, glowing complexion. This intensive anti-ageing treatment contains 20 plant extracts, including moisturising katafray bark extract and hyaluronic acid, nourishing perilla and macadamia oils, protective quinoa and green tea extract, oxygenising maritime pine and rosehip oil, and regenerating green banana, thyme and bocoa.
