Shiseido
Bio-Performance Skin Filler
They say: A luxe skin-care serum from the Japanese brand Shiseido that features a proprietary Japanese Hyaluronic Acid and MolecuShift Technology to plump and firm skin. The evening Infill Serum offers “shrunken” hyaluronic acid molecules to better absorb into skin, while the daytime Full Expansion Serum boasts larger molecules for improved hydration.
We say: Our tester subbed these daytime and nighttime sera in for her go-to formulas. She reported noticing a near-immediate improvement in the overall hydration and plumpness of her skin. The smooth, gel-like texture of the nighttime serum made it a fast favourite for our tester.

Smashbox
Halo Healthy Glow All-in-One Tinted Moisturizer
They say: A three-in-one primer, tinted moisturizer and sun-protection product. A host of skin-loving ingredients such as peptides, hyaluronic acid, rose extract and niacinamide combine with an SPF 25 and colour pigments for a multipurpose product that promises to provide “dewy coverage” and skin moisture for 24 hours. Available in 20 skin-tone-matching shades.
We say: Our tester was surprised by the amount of coverage this multipurpose product provided. For a tinted moisturizer, she found it was very foundation-like. The product gave skin nice coverage and hydration, but she didn’t find it was as “dewy” as she expected it to be.

Nuxe
Super Serum (10) Universal Anti-Aging Concentrate
They say: A “super-serum” that promises to prompt skin to behave as if it were 10 years younger. A blend of 95 per cent ingredients of natural origin including botanical oils and hyaluronic acid work to plump, smooth and firm skin.
We say: Our tester, a woman in her 60s, found a few drops of this encapsulated-oil product covered her skin nicely. Unlike some oil products, it didn’t leave skin feeling greasy or slick. With use, she noticed a definite improvement in her overall tone and appearance of skin.
