GUERLAIN ABEILLE ROYALE HONEY TREATMENT DAY CREAM
They say: A day cream inspired by clinical honey bandages that features four repairing honeys, including Guerlain's exclusive royal jelly. The Honey Treatment, which is also available in a night cream, features ingredients of 94 per cent natural origin to address skin concerns such as wrinkles, loss of firmness and texture. We say: Packaged in a refillable format, our tester added this rich day cream to her daytime routine. A small amount goes a long way to cover skin in a “cocoon” of hydration and comfort, our tester reports. Immediately, skin feels more hydrated and soothed. With use, our tester reported an improved appearance and radiance to skin. $198 | Holt Renfrew, holtrenfrew.com
CHANEL LES EXCLUSIFS COMÈTE
They say: An eau de parfum addition to French luxury brand Chanel's Les Exclusifs collection,
Comète is inspired by the “celestial allure” that appears as a point of inspiration throughout the company's collections. Created by in-house perfumer Olivier Polge, the fragrance features notes of cherry blossom accord, iris, musk and heliotrope.
We say: At once unique yet undeniably identifiable as a Chanel elixir — thanks to its floral-aldehyde combination — this fragrance feels fresh for spring and summer. Our tester found the balance between soft, powdery notes and bold blossoms to offer a wearable, wonderful scent. $310 for 75 ml | Chanel.com
JOUVIANCE YOUTH BOOSTING NIGHT SERUM VITAMIN C RESTRUCTIV
They say: A nighttime facial serum featuring 20 per cent pure vitamin C, along with vitamin E and hyaluronic acid to reveal “smoother, brighter and firmer” skin.
We say: True to its claims, the serum was fast-absorbing and felt comfortable on skin. With continued nightly use, our tester noticed a slight improvement to skin's firmness and a diminished appearance of dark spots.
