Winners, Face Care (Leave On), 2025

Gold

LUMI, Sunbrero Aloe Serum with Plant Stem Cells and Melatonin
“Using this every day, both in the morning and at night, has been a real joy. It absorbs beautifully into my skin, and I noticed I didn’t have a single spot throughout the time I used it. It worked seamlessly with everything I layered on top, whether it was SPF, moisturiser, or face oil. My skin has looked clear and hydrated, and it’s really helped keep any hyperpigmentation at bay.”

OliPhenolia, Intensive Serum
“I was impressed with how smooth it is: it is slightly oily and has quite a wet feel on my skin. It absorbs beautifully so there is no oiliness left and my skin looks better. It appears to soften the look of my skin, and enhances it. The olive fragrance is quite strong in the bottle, it is gentle when on my skin. This is a surprisingly lovely serum: a few drops pack quite a punch and gave my skin a fabulous boost.”

TWIN SKIN, Skinmimetic Moisture Essence Lavender
“This moisturiser is fantastic: the calming scent of lavender helps me unwind after a long day. The texture is rich yet lightweight, it absorbs beautifully and doesn’t leave my skin greasy. After just a couple of days my dehydrated menopausal skin started feeling softer and smoother, and after a month it feels soft, dewy and radiant.”

 

Silver

ARK Skincare, Age Defy Repairing Night Treatment
“Skin instantly feels a lot softer, healthy and supported. The skin on my cheeks and under my eyes looks smoother, wrinkles are softened out, and significantly less defined. My jawline is improving, too. My face looks brighter and even, dare I say it, a bit younger! Skin has definitely benefited and I feel confident when using it. Wonderful!”

Balmonds Skincare, Super 7 Serum
“A fluid serum which flows over cheeks without dragging. Absorbed quickly and once dry skin feels soft, and looks healthy, calm and smooth. Wrinkles are softened and less noticeable. Skin has become more attractive: it has lost the ravaged look and is hydrated and smoother. Not only have wrinkles become less defined and numerous but pores look clearer, too. A great result.”

Copper Coast Natural Skincare, Face Balm
“I love the frankincense scent. Glides over skin and leaves a glowing layer of moisture. This balm has fitted in well as a product to use in the evening. It is rich and leaves skin looking and feeling soothed and hydrated. There is a springiness to my skin that was not there before. Skin looks radiant. I am very impressed.” 

K A Naturals, Rose Face Cream
“Rose-scented deliciousness. Loved it before it even got on my skin. Only need a minute amount to cover face and neck. Sinks in immediately and cossets skin. It’s perfect for overnight when you can apply and recline. Like a spa treatment for skin. For me, this is premium.”

LaKreem, Must Sõstrar. Solid vitamin serum with bakuchiol & astaxanthin
“Skin felt cocooned by this zesty uplifting balm. Fine lines around my mouth looked finer and less noticeable after using this fabulously citrus-fragranced solid balm. It was actually very pleasurable to use and has opened my eyes to the positives of using a solid balm. What a revelation.”

OliPhenolia, Face Cream
“There is a definite plumpness and natural glow that demonstrates my skin feels so totally cared for and nourished with this. I feel so confident that my skin feels and looks good. It has been such an effortless cream to apply. Fine lines appear softer and daily application is delaying the onset of further lines. My skin feels so content and that feeling lasts all day.”

TEAM DR JOSEPH, Rejuvenating Face Cream
“This could well be the best moisturiser that I have ever used. It’s beautifully light, but so rich and nourishing; has a heavenly rose-like fragrance. My skin instantly looks glowing and feels amazingly soft. It’s such a beautiful moisturiser. My skin looks and feels more hydrated, plumper looking, and radiant. It’s a miracle cream.”

WELEDA, Wild Rose & White Tea Smoothing Day Cream
“Light, floral scent. Described as a moisture boost and I would fully agree that it does the job very well. It performs amazingly alone, and underneath make-up seems to give a healthy glow. I love how dense it is, but also light and non-greasy. I did see a general improvement in my skin tone and texture too, which was impressive.”

Yui Skin, Cica + Bifida Soothing Moisturizer
“I saw a difference in my skin from first use. Any redness was instantly calmed; there were no new blemishes during testing. Skin felt more plump and healthier. It had a better tone and more even colour. Make-up applied better and stayed on longer. Restored balance; redness has disappeared. Skin felt stronger, more resistant. It was an absolute life changer for my face.”


Bronze

AK Pure Skin, Hydrating Ceramide Moisturizer
“Goes on smoothly and is hydrating without being at all greasy. It feels like a high-quality cream, and I love treating myself to a little of it morning and night. My skin feels smoother and more nourished. I have noticed an improvement in the texture of my skin as well as elasticity and reduction of fine lines. A quality product.”

Bee Cosmetics, Rejuvenating Facial Cream – Frankincense & Rose
“Creamy and rich without being cloying. It has a gorgeous, natural flowery, fruity and slightly exotic aroma with a sophisticated edge. I found it suitable for both morning and evening use. It helps the skin be moisturised, slightly plumper, fresh-looking and younger looking.”

Bodhi Blends, Deep Steep
“The serum seemed to support a steady, healthy skin appearance without irritation. It worked well as part of my evening routine, maintaining softness and a hydrated feel without overwhelming my skin. It delivered a calming, nurturing experience.”

ECHT NATUR, Gesichtscreme Tag und Nacht
“There is a calmness to my skin with this ‘Day & Night’ product. My skin feels as if it has had an overnight deep clean and it has been gently restored. I feel that my skin has become a little softer and smoother and there is an inner glow to it. I had not expected for my skin to feel so alive each morning.”

Fiini Naturally, Oat and Probiotics Nurturing Serum
“A quickly absorbed, fragrance-free serum, which leaves a protective barrier feel after it dries. I found it slightly oily but also slightly dry which is quite nice. I was happy including it in my daily routine. It has helped my skin’s redness decrease and my make-up sits a little better. I’ve really enjoyed using this.”

Inika Organic, Hyaluronic Hydration Complex
“This deliciously lightweight gel-serum was like nectar on my skin. I found it deeply nourishing and it left a satin-y canvass for make-up application during the day, or ready for a night treatment in the evening. My skin looked smoother from the first application and just got better as days progressed.”

Skin Formulas, Hydra Serum
“Skin immediately felt cocooned with a layer of hydration. I loved the cooling sensation when initially applied. You couldn’t help but feel calm. It made all my subsequent products apply better and I noticed my make-up base lasted longer. It made my skin feel bouncy and rejuvenated. A beautiful serum.”
