We were kindly gifted around 20 products to test for this round up of the best skincare products for the month of May, although samples have been gifted for review purposes, we have only included products that our beauty editor has tested and would recommend.

Cetaphil PRO Moisturizing Night Cream

Strangely my friend and I had been talking about this brand a couple of days before I received this product. She has been suffering with her skin and started using some of their products and had noticed a huge difference in the improvement of her skin. So, I already had positive thoughts before I had even tried this cream.

Ideal for sensitive skin, Cetaphil PRO promises to strengthen and support your skin barrier function with continuous overnight moisture. Dermatologically tested and no added fragrance this product is a joy to use.

Lightweight, it just sinks into my skin and helps calm any redness from cleansing almost instantly.

If your looking for a night cream and have especially sensitive skin or you suffer from rosacea this would be ideal, and one I will continue to use.

Available online from Amazon, prices start from £15.

Cetaphil PRO Cleansing Face Wash

Again, another great product from this brand and perfect if like me your skin can be a little sensitive. I have incorporated this facial wash into my nightly routine and love how gentle on the skin it is.

A cleansing foam that doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight after use a few pumps of this onto the skin after removing your make up will help to remove any excess dirt or oil and leaves your skin feeling squeaky clean.

I have been following this up with my usual serum/hyaluronic acid and then the Cetaphil Night cream over the top.

Available online from Amazon, prices start from £15.

Balmonds Daily Moisturising Cream

Our skin can be very up and down, I know mine can be. When I’m stressed it shows in my skin, if I’m eating badly again it shows in my skin. But sometimes our skin can flare up in completely different ways in the form of eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis – which let’s be honest is never great.

I myself have developed a small patch of dermatitis on my face, when covered with makeup you would never even know it was there, but it can get me down when I am bare faced.

So, I was excited to try this cream that promises to soothe itchiness whilst locking in moisture and protecting skin against irritation.

99% natural containing no perfumes, no paraffin – literally nothing other than goodness this cream promises a lot.

It does however contain organic hemp seed oil and shea butter which feels gorgeous on the application. The smell although not strong can take a little getting used to but as I am only using this for a small section of my skin its not too overpowering.

I have been using for a couple of days and can already see a difference. The patch has reduced in size and feels softer and more nourished.

I will keep you up to date with this one.

Available from Holland and Barrett with prices starting from £12.
