Like the night-cream equivalent of Ronseal, this luxurious, plumping ‘radiance moisturizer’ really does do what it says on the tin. Salicylic acid works to gently exfoliate while powerful enzymes boost the skin’s ability to repair. Which explains its burgeoning global cult status and its clear victory. If we could, we would bathe in the stuff.
