One product that Simply You editor Naomi Larkin loves to use

When it comes to anti-aging skincare there’s one product Simply You editor Naomi can rely on.

As Editor of Simply You a lot of skincare products cross my desk. I can’t try them all but a cream that claims to “unlock your skin’s youth potential” and see it “spring back” and “glow with radiant vitality” is guaranteed to grab my attention.

Estee Lauder Revitalizing Supreme + Global Anti-Aging Power Crème comes with the backing of this skincare and cosmetic giant’s dedication to research and development which, in this range, has produced the exclusive RevitaKey™ Technology featuring moringa extract as a key ingredient. Formulated to be used twice a day, both in the morning and in the evening, the cream is designed to “encourages skin’s natural power to amplify collagen and elastin.”

Aging, stress, and the general wear and tear on my skin that each decade brings, mean I’ll always be looking out for the next best thing in skincare, so I was happy to trial the cream, the Revitalizing Supreme + Global Anti-Aging Power Eye Balm and the Revitalizing Supreme + Global Anti-Aging Instant Refinishing Facial.

The cream’s texture is particularly silky and my skin sucked it up. I was immediately won over by this satin smooth texture as I like a cream to glide on and this one certainly does. It even smells luxurious! It feels truly nourishing and it won’t leave your face shining.

The cream is best used after you have washed your face and ensure your skin is dry before you apply it. Don’t forget your neck. A little goes a long way – which is always a plus. It is a good idea to target dry spots, wrinkles and dark spots.

A study conducted by Estee Lauder of more than 200 women who used the cream found that 95 per cent of the group said their skin had more elasticity and bounce after two weeks and 96 per cent said their skin felt firmer in just four weeks. Of the women surveyed 100 per cent said their skin felt hydrated “immediately”.

Certainly luminosity was immediate and the visible dry skin areas on my face were quenched. I will be closely monitoring the overall texture for long-term signs of improvement.

Late nights, deadline stress and too much time spent looking at screens mean I can be a victim of dark circles under my eyes. Sea lavender flower extract is one of the key ingredients included in the eye balm to help promote “natural cellular energy,” the outcome of which is to reduce the dark circles, puffiness and generally smooth out the area around the eye. Younger, less tired looking eyes is something women of all ages are keen to achieve – and I’m no different.

The Revitalizing Supreme + Global Anti-Aging Instant Refinishing Facial is a “high-performance” exfoliating treatment. Water-activated, it removes dry, dull cells leaving your skin looking and feeling softer and more radiant. I found that, as with the cream and the eye balm, it’s both luxurious and nourishing.

Your skin will show the promise of being “refreshed and baby soft” after use – making it an important part of your anti-ageing arsenal.
