Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate, £32.40, John Lewis

Want to wake up looking 10 years younger? Well ok, maybe not 10, but containing evening primrose oil and squalane (the key ingredient that moisturises skin and fights ageing), this magic formula works overnight to replenish and revitalise.

While it's not exactly a bargain, the good news is that a little really does go a long way. 
 

Blue Orchid Face Treatment Oil, £32, Clarins

This highly hyped best-selling oil promises younger looking, re-balanced skin within just three short weeks.

Highly recommended for une femme d'un certain age, and made from 100% pure plant extracts, this is the perfect buy for those who want to improve fine lines and wrinkles.

L'Oreal Age Perfect Extaordinary Facial Oil, £19.99, Superdrug

Here's a more affordable option that doesn't compromise on quality. It promises to nourish, brighten and restore suppleness to the skin and feels luxurious when you apply it. Probably one of the better value-for-money products on the market.

Just three small drops is plenty, and having garnered a wave of positive press and reviews, it must be good, mustn't it?

Pai Rosehip Bioregenerate Oil, £22, Look Fantastic

The magical ingredient in this product, retinoic acid, provides your skin with the all-important, but often forgotten, vitamin A, which works wonders for anti-ageing and improving the tone of your skin.

We love the packaging too - very simple and effective, making you feel like you're adding nature back into your skin.

Sanctuary Spa Threrapist's Secret Facial Oil, 18.79, Amazon

Loved by a hoard of A-listers including Cate Blanchett, Keira Knightly and, err, Roger Federer, this is definitely one to get your hands on.

Decribed by Sanctuary Spa as 'superfood for the skin', this transformative potion works to restore the skin's natural oils and achieve the ever desired 'plumping effect' <bids farewell to botox>
