These cult beauty buys will never let you down...
Pond’s Cold Cream, £3.29
This hard-working day and night cream will hydrate, nourish and clear your skin. A secret weapon for sorting out problem-prone skin and adult acne in a hurry, Pond’s Cold Cream has been widely praised for its soothing and repairing properties. And that’s not gone unnoticed by the A-listers.

“My mum uses it and it really does work. It’s made such a difference.”
