'This is the only moisturiser I'll use on my blemish-prone skin and it now has 20% off'


OK!'s beauty editor Laura Mulley reveals the one moisturiser she swears by after years of trying different brands and formulas

A moisturiser is a crucial part of many people's skincare regimen, but finding the perfect one can be a challenge; if it's too light, it may not provide enough hydration for dry skin, and if it's too heavy, it could potentially clog pores and trigger breakouts. As a beauty editor, I've tested literally hundreds of face creams throughout my career, and honestly, I've found it difficult to discover ones that I genuinely adore and would repurchase; many cause my blemish-prone skin to flare up, while those with a water- or gel-like consistency aren't sufficiently hydrating to adequately moisturise dry, flaky areas. Medik8 is a brand adored by many – both consumers and skincare experts – and I highly rate several of its products, including Crystal Retinal and C-Tetra Luxe, but I hadn't really sampled any of its moisturisers until I tried Medik8's Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream, which retails at £45 for a 50ml tub and £40 for 50 refills.
