The desire for radiant, glass-like skin seems to be universal – after all, nothing is quite as flattering as a healthy-looking glow. And having celebrated its 25th birthday last year, Pixi has long held the crown when it comes to glow-giving skincare at a purse-friendly price. Since the brand regularly trends on social media, you can now spot its signature pastel packaging everywhere, from Marks & Spencer and Boots to the glossy shelves of Selfridges.

With ranges catering to a variety of skin types – from acne-prone and sensitive to those with fine lines and dry skin – Pixi is a favourite across the GH beauty team for its hardworking blends of ingredients that deliver radiance across the board. From hydrating toners to youth-boosting serums, these are our top skincare picks from Pixi, for achieving an all-round brighter complexion.

The Glow Tonic has long held the top spot as Pixi’s number one bestseller, and for good reason – this award-winning toner, infused with glycolic acid and aloe vera, exfoliates and rejuvenates dull skin at the same time.

Scoring an impressive 83/100 during GHI testing, it was deemed the best toner for softening, with panellists also raving about how clean and bright it left their complexion, without any tightness or prickly sensations. As it’s suitable for all skin types – including sensitive and acne-prone skin – simply sweep over the face after cleansing for an instant radiance boost.

For weary under-eyes in need of a pick-me-up, these hydrogel eye patches work quickly to depuff and revive. Refreshing cucumber and castor oil band together to nourish and soften any eye bags, while a hyaluronic acid and caffeine blend helps with reducing dark circles.

For the best results, chill before use and leave on for 10 minutes to maximise hydration.

Designed especially for minimising redness, the Rose Tonic is as soothing as it is rejuvenating. Perfect for rebalancing the skin’s pH after cleansing, the chamomile and rose flower extract help to calm irritated skin, while the elderflower tones and brightens, leaving a healthy-looking, natural glow.

Pixi Hydrating Milky Mist

We love a multi-tasker at GH, and the Clarity Tonic is the perfect example. Its trio of salicylic, glycolic and lactic acids work together to exfoliate, unclog and soothe acne-prone skin, making it a great multi-purpose option for tackling breakouts.

Use a cotton pad to gently work the formula over skin twice a day, and enjoy a clearer complexion over time.

Infused with more than 20 botanical oils, as well as propolis and fruit extracts, this sweet-scented skin refresher works just as well on top of makeup as on a bare face. For an ultra-luminous finish, simply spritz over the face as a setting spray, and reapply as needed throughout the day, for a quick boost of hydration.
