Primordiale Skin Defence Skin Perfecting Serum, £43 by Lancome

Containing antioxidants and a multi-mineral complex to retexturise the skin, our tester Vicky comments: 'it feels lovely and cool when it's applied. It's like a mega-dose of rehydration and when I apply my regular moisturiser it feels much more effective. I've noticed that my make up lasts for longer as well. I'll be gutted when I run out of it!'

Six of the Best Beauty Serums

One for stat fans: ever since that documentary sales of No7 Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum have shot up by 2000% (that's the equivalent of one sold every 13 minutes). Yowzers. Apparently the reason serums work (stay with us - science bit here) is because the molecules are smaller than in a traditional moisturiser so they absorb better into the skin's pores. To get the full benefit you need to apply morning and night onto thoroughly cleansed skin, before applying your moisturiser. With the ravages of the party season upon us, strikes us as the perfect time to get stuck in. Merry Christmas!
