Is Beauty Pie worth it? A beauty junkie investigates…

Hyaluronic acid is an essential skincare ingredient in any daily routine. Introducing a hyaluronic acid serum can transform the skin to look dewy and plump whilst fighting any signs of ageing. It visibly improves the condition of the skin on the first application and continues to maintain moisture with regular use. Hyaluronic acid acts as a moisture magnet and can draw 1000 times its weight in water and be used by all skin types.

Things we love:
• Contains three different weights of hyaluronic molecules to treat multiple layers of the skin.
• Promotes long-lasting hydration.

Our review: "A lightweight yet moisturising serum that sits comfortably under make-up. My skin felt instantly soothed, soft and hydrated after the first application. It's slightly scented, which may aggravate those who prefer to use fragrance-free skincare."

Customer review: "On my second bottle of Triple Hyaluronic Acid, an excellent product, I suffer with really dry Eczema on my neck face and hands, I use this every morning and night after cleansing religiously to prevent any dryness which can cause me to scratch, so pleased I found beauty pie, products are amazing value for money, I would definitely recommend."

Finding a daily SPF that feels lightweight and doesn't leave a white cast can typically be difficult. However, the Featherlight SPF is a game-changer. Prime and protect the skin without feeling or seeing any residue on the skin or under make-up. Apply after moisturiser and before make-up for the ultimate protected base.

Things we love:
• Non-comedogenic - doesn't clog pores.
• UVA and UVB protection.
• Doesn't leave a white cast.

Our review: "It's always tricky to discover an SPF that doesn't leave a white cast on the skin and this one glides on top of my moisturiser. The packaging is ideal for your make-up and travelling."

Customer review: "I was dubious about using this SPF - having combination oily acne prone skin, products like this often serve to clog my pores and leave me with breakouts and a very greasy looking face. Not this one! It really is featherlight and soaks into the skin easily and doesn't leave any residue on the skin. It also hasn't contributed to any breakouts either since using it - result!"

Treat your skin with a blend of 15 different active ingredients designed to hydrate, firm, resurface and brighten. If you're looking for a product to give your skin a shot of hydration but create that dewy look we all crave, this is a serum you should consider trying. This treatment is full of proteins and hydrators and can be used on a clean face every morning and evening. The lightweight formula melts into the skin in seconds and the handy pipette allows you to control how much product you apply.

Things we love:
• Youthbomb is full of proteins, peptides and hydrators.
• Easy-to-use dropper allows you to tailor how much product you want to use.

Our review: "I love trying serums, especially those that promise to brighten and add a glow. Youthbomb makes my skin look radiant and sits comfortably under moisturiser and SPF. A serum that claims it can create the look of a facelift is a bold claim, but I feel like it boosts luminosity and improves the texture of my skin."

Customer review: "I’m onto my second bottle of this and I love it! It has firmed and tightened my skin, left it smooth and has helped with hydration. The best part is that it has completely lifted my upper eyelids and got rid of my slightly hooded eyes!"

This elixir is made with a gentle blend of ingredients whenever your skin needs an extra boost. Your skin might be dry, dehydrated or needs a bit of TLC and this elixir soothes and adds a dewy glow - much needed as we enter into the colder months. Add a couple of drops into your serum or moisturiser or apply directly onto the skin.

Things we love:
• Features grape and jabara extract an antioxidant from the Japanese Citrus Fruit, rich in vitamin C
• Polynesian seaweed (works like hyaluronic acid to draw moisture to the skin - result)

Our review: "This Elixir looks great under make-up if you love your skin looking healthy and dewy without using any sparkly highlighter. It works as a glowing primer but continues to care for your skin. Skin looks brighter and feels firm after one use. The texture is quite emollient, which could suit a drier skin type."

Customer review: "What a fantastic serum. Smooths my fine lines and wrinkles. Firm's my skin like a dream. Forget the super pricey brands. This stuff works. I am almost 50 years old and I have used a lot of "high-end" brands and hands down Beauty Pie blows them all out of the water!"

Don't sleep on this product - If you are familiar with the Becca Under-Eye Brightener that has since been discontinued, this product is one to grab your attention.

This skincare/make-up hybrid treats your under-eye concerns whilst leaving your under-eyes looking luminous.

Love!"

Maintaining healthy skin, hair and nails can start from within and introducing this super powder to your smoothie or water can make all the difference.

We recommend consulting a GP if you're taking any prescribed medication before starting the supplement.

I've been taking it for a couple of months and have seen a DRAMATIC improvement in my skin, especially my face and neck. I've never had a beauty product that has given me such noticeable results. I take it each morning on an empty stomach mixed into warm water. Super easy and mild slightly sweet flavour. LOVE IT!"

Things we love:
• Niacinamide - derived from vitamin B3, strengthens the skin's natural barrier and calms any inflammation

Our review: "A niacinamide serum is essential in any skincare routine and works well to soothe and calm the skin. The texture is very lightweight and settles into the skin in seconds."

You might've heard of retinol and felt too scared to try it, but this one is a great starting point. Although this retinol is a 1 per cent strength - the strongest percentage you can buy over the counter, you can decide where you want to apply the product and how much to use. This product is made with slow-release retinol to gradually introduce the skin to the effects of retinol without seeing a sudden reaction. Apply like you would your usual night-time moisturiser and leave it on the skin for 10-15 minutes before following with any further skincare, should you need it. Ensure you wear SPF throughout the day following use.

What is retinol?
Derived from vitamin A, retinol is the ultimate anti-ageing ingredient to encourage a quicker cell turnover and bring new cells to the surface. It's designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve the appearance of any discolouration or pigmentation on the surface of the skin.

Things we love:
• Super Retinol is formulated with vitamins C and E, shea butter, ferulic and hyaluronic acid to help protect, soothe, brighten and hydrate the skin as it resurfaces.
• Great packaging that keeps the product stable and free from oxygen and sunlight.

Our review: "I used to be sceptical about using retinol as my skin is super sensitive, but this product is more of a night-time treatment that leaves the skin looking glowing and feeling moisturised when I wake up. You can apply a night oil or cream after applying Super Retinol, but it's not necessary as it's hydrating on its own."

Customer review: "So happy I purchased this although I was apprehensive at first trying a different retinol I'm glad I did, I've noticed an improvement in the texture of my skin it's much softer and smoother."
