Best Refined Refiner

Chanel Le Weekend de Chanel Edition Douce, €90.50, Chanel counters nationwide

This is the sensitive sister to Le Weekend De Chanel; it’s designed to do the same work, without risk of any irritation. In common with the original, its key ingredient remains glycolic acid — which gobbles dead skin cells and leaves new ones extra-receptive to holding on to skin-plumping hydration. However, in this formulation, it is high-tolerance glycolic, along with calming rosewater. “I love the texture, which Chanel describes as ‘powdery’,” said one panellist. “It feels soft and petal-like. A winner that doesn’t irritate.”
