Naked Sundays Hydrating Glow Mist SPF50+
They say: A sunscreen mist with a sun protection factor of 50-plus, this spritz formula features skincare ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and watermelon extract to hydrate and boost radiance.
We say: This sunscreen mist is impressive. The super-fine mist means you’re not left with patchy splatters of product but rather a lightweight veil of sun protection. It’s the perfect SPF pick for those who are reluctant to reapply sunscreen throughout the day because of fearing it will feel to heavy on skin.
Glow Recipe Blackberry Retinol Blemish Serum
They say: A serum that features a .16 per cent triple-retinoid formulation including retinol, retinal, and retinyl ester. Suitable for all skin types — but designed for those over the age of 20 — this serum works to minimize blemishes while addressing skin concerns such as texture and pore visibility.
We say: Despite boasting a trio of retinols, this serum is billed as safe for sensitive skin. Ingredients like blackberry extract and glycerin help to protect skin’s moisture barrier. Our tester found this serum, when used daily, helped to address new breakouts while also making her skin appear more smooth overall.
