How we test
We tested 11 own brand daily moisturisers with 128 women over two weeks. Not only did we look at the effects each product had on the skin, but we assessed the packaging, texture and much more. Using a multi-skin test centre, we also measured the hydration of the skin immediately after application and after six hours. This helped determine just how effective each product was.
