Vitamin C is considered to be one of the best ingredients to fight off the signs of ageing and keep the skin looking radiant. But although you probably consume some in your diet, there’s no way of guaranteeing that it goes directly into your skin.
Using serums and other topical products is the most direct way to get these benefits. The LUMENE Nordic-C Valo Glow Boost Essence is one of the best on the market, and it has just been reduced from £36.50 to £27.37 at Boots – this is cheaper than getting it from LookFantastic (£34.90).
Boosted with three types of hyaluronic acid, it works to promote the appearance of more even looking skin that feels plumper and smoother. It’s also been clinically tested to improve the complexion’s luminosity.

A satisfied shopper wrote: “I hardly ever repurchase the same product as there are so many out there, I want to try them all but this is one I can’t live without. It smooths the skin and makes it more radiant every day, I get so many compliments on my skin because of this stuff.”
Another added: “I’ve used this for years. The best glow boost essence, especially in the morning, it makes my skin glow and the makeup on top look flawless.”

Although a great product overall, with 94 per cent of reviewers recommending it, some customers were left unimpressed by the results: “Did not give my skin any glow unfortunately and did nothing for my skin. I would not recommend.”
Elsewhere, there’s the £39 C-Tetra from Medik8. Formulated with a stabilised form of vitamin C, it aims to brighten uneven skin tone and reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles, while remaining gentle on sensitive skin.
