They say: Facial toner pads that target specific skin concerns such as brightness or texture. Available in Vitamin C or LHA + AHA options, the gentle pads can be used as a wipe-and-go toner or a spot treatment mask.

We say: Our testers applied these pads as directed. The tester with sensitive skin wiped them on clean skin and then moved on to her go-to skin care, while the other tester placed the pads on problem areas and let them sit on for the recommended time. Both testers reported the products provided results without any sensitivity.

Garnier Vitamin C Daily UV Glow Fluid SPF 50+
Article content
They say: A new sunscreen formula from Garnier that features a sun protection factor of 50, along with Vitamin C to address skin concerns such as dark spots. The lightweight formula features mineral pigments to give skin a ‘radiant’ finish, while the broad spectrum sunscreen protects against UVB, UVA and long-UVA rays.

We say: This might be the perfect sunscreen for those who like a slight ‘glow’ to skin. An ideal option for no-makeup days, our tester found the radiant formula and subtle pigments gave skin a nice, glowing finish. True to its lightweight claims, the product wears well on skin without feeling sticky or shiny.

Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Blush Balm
Article content
They say: A three-in-one lip product that promises to act as a lipstick, a balm and a tint. Formulated with peptides and botanical butters, the blush balms are pH activated to provide a customized lip colour. Available in six shades.
Article content
We say: A big fan of lightweight balms, our tester found this formula to be a hybrid of a heavier lipstick and a balm. With a smooth feel and easy application, it’s a nice option for non-finicky lip colour. While it didn’t last as long as a straightforward tint, she noted it had more staying power than a regular lipstick.
