Our Favourite Beauty Buys Under £50
Dr. Dennis Gross
AHA/BHA Daily Cleansing Gel, € 13,30“I have had acne for most of my adult life, so cleansing is a hugely important step in my skincare routine. Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Pore Perfecting Cleansing Gel is incredibly thorough, but gentle. It’s soap and sulphate free, so doesn't dry my skin out at all. I use it morning and evening (after removing my make up with an oil-based cleanser), and it now lives in the shower as my teenage son has started using it too.” – Alys from Cambridge.

Ren Clean Skincare

It’s no surprise that it is a big talking point in the skincare world right now. As someone who battles with blemishes, I tend to avoid formulas that have oily textures, but Ren Clean Skincare's elixir has been a game-changer and has helped soothe and rebalance my skin. I’ve been recommending it to everyone.” – Victoria, senior buyer

Malin + Goetz
SPF 30 High Protection Sunscreen, € 40,25“I am terrible at remembering to use SPF every day. Before Malin + Goetz launched this formula, I found sunscreen heavy and cloying, especially after I’ve applied my makeup. This mineral-based formula has a gel-like texture that’s lightweight and is completely invisible. It’s ideal for not just morning applications but re-applying throughout the day.” – Amy, art director

Olaplex
No.9 Bond Protector Nourishing Hair Serum, € 29,50“Olaplex is yet to release a bad product in my opinion and the No.9 Bond Protector Nourishing Hair Serum might be one of its best to date. It hydrates and strengthens hair without leaving it with that gloopy, sticky texture, and it conveniently provides heat protection up to 232C.” – Victoria, beauty editor

It’s lightweight, it’s hydrating, it provides impressive coverage, and it leaves your skin with the subtlest glow.” – Julie, makeup buyer
