You may not have heard of Wake Skincare before, but this brand is currently amassing a cult following on Amazon. One product in particular has over 1,000 perfect 5-star reviews.

The Wake Face Cream is lightweight yet sufficiently plumping thanks to the hyaluronic acid content - a molecule that grabs hold of water like a sponge to hydrate the upper layers of skin. 

Add in glycerine, which features second on the ingredients' list - another sound, science-led humectant for dry skin.  Plus vitamin E, a skincare all-rounder thanks to its ability to hydrate, reduce the look of acne scars and improve skin texture. And what you get is a face cream ideal for winter skin that plays extremely well under make-up, too.

One reviewer even made this extraordinary claim:

"I am now in my 40's and the lines and wrinkles are well and truly taking shape! I am always open to trying new face creams that promise to rewind the clock so thought I would give this a go. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and I love it! This may be coincidence but I was given student discount in a shop (WOW) and whilst at a wedding reception seeing folk I haven't seen in 20+ years, more than one person commented on how I haven't aged!"

We're sold. Grab a jar of this much-applauded moisturiser for just £21.99 on Amazon now.
