The L’Oréal products you need in your anti-ageing skincare routine

“A serum is a must-have in any beauty routine, as it can deliver high concentrations of active ingredients to your skin and target specific concerns, from dehydration, fine lines and breakouts to dark spots,” says Beauty Director Eve Cameron.

“If you want wrinkle-reducing and pore-minimising benefits, plus a lovely glow, try this triple-action serum, which contains skin-plumping hyaluronic acid and L’Oréal’s patented anti-ageing ingredient, Pro-Xylane.”

“Inspired by salon laser treatments, the Laser Renew range uses advanced technology to firm, smooth and brighten – perfect for working into my routine as I get older,” says Commercial Editor Alison Lynch.

“As well as keeping my skin protected from UV rays, this SPF cream is enriched with LHA, which gently refines the skin’s surface, and trending ingredient niacinamide to boost collagen production.”

81% of women who tried this product said the results were so impressive that they would delay a professional anti-ageing treatment, with one tester saying their skin felt “smoother and more refined”.

“I’m a convert to short courses of skincare capsules; they allow me to give my skin exactly what it needs, as it needs it,” says Senior Beauty Editor Alexandra Friend.

“These are enriched with hyaluronic acid for fast hydration (which in turn plumps the skin so it looks tighter and more glowy) and vitamin B5, which strengthens the skin’s protective barrier, keeping all of that hydration locked in. Clever, thoughtful stuff.”

“A crucial part of future-proofing my skin is developing an effective cleansing routine that won’t strip my skin of its natural oils and that will stand me in good stead,” says Beauty Assistant Medina Azaldin.

“I’m prone to acne, so being able to achieve that clean-skin feeling without compromising my natural skin barrier is really important. I love this micellar water for removing makeup – it’s really gentle so it doesn’t sting my eyes, but it’s effective enough to get the job done without vigorous rubbing.”

“Beautifully hydrating, texture-smoothing and with a plumping effect that makes my skin look (almost) flawless, this serum ticks all the boxes for me,” says Beauty Editor Gillian Davies.

“Thanks to the different sizes of hyaluronic acid molecules, it works on both the upper and deeper layers of skin, helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and give skin bounce.”

“I’m a big fan of HydraFacials, which use active acids to stimulate collagen production and reveal smooth, baby-soft skin, and these are great for enabling me to achieve similar results from the comfort of my own bathroom,” says Head of Content Robyn Munson.

“Less scary than they sound, these face pads are pre-soaked in glycolic acid to help slough off dead skin cells and gently resurface the skin.”

“Our eyes work hard – the average person blinks every 4-5 seconds – so it’s no wonder the eye area is one of the first to show signs of ageing,” says Beauty Intern Phoebe-Jane Lee.

“This cream acts as a protective cushion, cocooning the delicate skin around the eyes with calcium B5 to help restore tone and elasticity. As an added bonus, it’s infused with light-reflecting particles – perfect for helping me look more rested and radiant.”
