Skin Care Products for radiance and glow

Drab, dreary, dull? Does your skin need a winter pick-me-up? Well step away from those holiday brochures and stand back from the fake tan because this will do the job. Here's a five step guide to keeping your skin looking heathy, glowing and radiant this winter:

Creme de la Mer The Radiant Serum

Creme de la Mer The Radiant Serum product review
What does it promise to do?: 

The Radiant Serum illuminates the complexion immediately on contact, awakening a brilliant new clarity. Targeted skin tone correctors help dissolve the look of discoloration. Water borne anti-oxidants help skin remain looking even and bright.

Do we like?: 

It's difficult to review this product, released March 2011, without first mentioning the price. So we'll do it fast, like a plaster, and get the pain over with. It costs £215.

Yikes, that's a sore one isn't it. So is it worth it? That depends on what's important to you. If you can't live without plumper, more radiant and even-toned skin then yes. On first application it glides onto skin and is absorbed immediately. If you're looking for a glow boost, then this provides it. Skin is noticeably more radiant after the first day of using. Pores are less noticeable, skin is plumped up and so looks smoother and more even-toned.

However, we can't ignore the price. This Nifty tester certainly couldn't stretch to this price but gratefully received a sample. But the price is a major problem. So despite a brilliant product, we have to take a heart off for affordability.

Creme de la Mer The Eye Concentrate

Creme de la Mer The Eye Concentrate
What does it promise to do?: 

This concentrated, ultraluxe eye treatment quenches and conditions impressionable skin. The Eye Concentrate significantly reduces the appearance of dark circles and puffiness, lines and wrinkles, encouraging the eye area to look healthy, luminous and feel supple as never before.

Do we like?: 

An ok eye cream but given the price and the amount of research our tester was disappointed. No noticeable difference to lines, wrinkles or dark circles. But puffiness did reduce and skin felt softer.

Creme de la Mer The Regenerating Serum

Creme de la Mer The Regenerating Serum
What does it promise to do?: 

A powerful anti-ageing trio: a high concentrate of The Miracle Broth™, The Marine Peptide Ferment and The Regenerating Ferment™, infused with marine plant stem cells and colloidal gold, helps skin trigger this natural production of “youth proteins,” collagen and elastin. Together they work to give skin a more lifted look while helping to diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles, revealing a beautiful, seemingly ageless look.

Do we like?: 

This serum is probably fabulous, continuing the same impeccably high standards of all previous Creme products. However, our tester found it made her skin break out. There was some improvement in the skin's appearance in fine lines and wrinkles but the price tag and the break out means two hearts off.

Crème De La Mer

Crème De La Mer
What does it promise to do?: 

Skin's appearance is improved, becomes softer, smoother, more supple. 

Do we like?: 

This product is the stuff of legend. Women have swore their skin has changed using this moisturiser. And it didn’t disappoint. Yes, the price tag is hefty, but you get what you pay for with this tub. Packaging oozes glamour and when you opened the bottle, this cream smells like no other, gorgeous, luxurious fragrance. The technique is explained to you on purchase, so you only need a tiny amount, but skin felt completely hydrated. And after only a few days using, skin began to look healthier, more supple and infinitely softer.
