Aquasource Aura Concentrate Intense Regenerating Serum

They say: A facial serum that has a dual texture to penetrate skin instantly and provide a “visible glow” with 24 hours of “intense” hydration.

We say: This fresh-scented product has a unique consistency — almost like water. It’s thinner than our tester’s usual sera and has to be shaken before dispensing. A small droplet goes a long way and skin feels instantly hydrated and more comfortable. With prolonged use, skin appeared more fresh and moisturized. $66 | Hudson’s Bay; biotherm.ca NEUTROGENA Rapid Wrinkle Repair

They say: Thanks to a Retinol SA “booster,” after one week of use the look of wrinkles and age spots will be reduced and your youthful glow will be improved.

We say: The cream is light and easily absorbed leaving behind plumper feeling skin. For a cream with retinol “boosters” and hyaluronic acid, your skin ends up feeling really moisturized, kind of like it had a big drink of water. After a couple of weeks of daily use our tester said she felt her skin looked refreshed. A couple of age spots didn’t disappear but that’s OK, she liked how her skin felt smoother and free of summer dryness and flakiness. $29.97| Walmart; mass retailers ALTERNA HAIR CARE Caviar Resort Sea Tousled Texture Spray

They say: This spray is lightweight, volumizing and delivers a wavy surf-kissed texture to your hair. It is formulated with caviar extract which, thanks to its omega-3 fatty acids, helps to improve the signs of aging hair while delivering tousled wavy curls.

We say: Our tester did not notice her hair looked any younger or felt particularly moisturized after using the spray but she did like how it separated and gave her curls a beach-y bounce with a very light, fresh scent. $35 | Sephora
