Best Luxe Lift

Lancome Absolue Soft Cream, €200, Brown Thomas, and nationwide from January 2019

This comes with a hefty price-tag but a little goes a long way and it is an almost justifiable indulgence for older skin. If loss of radiance is an issue for your complexion, this cream combines extracts of three roses — including the brand’s Lancome rose — which combine to nourish and plump. The Lancome rose promises boosted cell regeneration, while the others have anti-inflammatory qualities. “It smells divine and the way it goes on creamy, then massages to a lighter but luxurious lotion is just dreamy,” said a panellist.
