Product Information

If you suffer from breakouts and your usual moisturiser and spot treatment just aren’t cutting it, a blemish-targeted serum could be just what you need. Clinique’s oil-free formula with salicylic acid is a good place to start; the oil-controlling formula does a brilliant job of preventing spots from appearing in the first place, and whey protein helps to heal scars and improve skin texture. Why we love it: Uniquely formulated to stabilise the powerhouse ingredients that are Vitamin C and Retinol, Kate Somerville's Power Serum aims to visibly brighten, firm and tone the skin – while also reducing the appearance of fine lines and ageing. It's silky and weightless in texture, and gives your skin a “power nap” refresh.

The Ordinary’s no-nonsense serum formula is fragrance-free and gentle enough for all skin types; it’s also vegan and oil-free, making it particularly suitable for oilier skins.
