Clinique’s Hero of the Night

It’s not brand, spanking, new but Clinique Repairwear Sculpting Night Cream (£58), which launched last year, is one of those products that’s so good, it has to be shouted about. If you’re concerned about slackening of the skin around the jawline and cheeks, this is one of the most affordable and enjoyable options on the market. I’ve been using mine for a couple of months and am not only impressed by the tightening results but also love its luxurious gel-cream texture, and – especially – the way it leaves my skin feeling smooth, rested and moisturised when I wake up in the morning. If it could just make me feel as if I’ve notched up eight hours’ sleep too, then it would be perfect!

Scaffolding for the Skin

If your new year’s resolution is to acquire a Hepburn-esque jawline (either Audrey’s or Katharine’s will do) – or at least maintain the definition of your own – then there’s one newly launched cream that should be on your beauty shopping list. Clinique‘s Repairwear Sculpting Night Cream (£58) helps to define the appearance of facial contours along the cheeks and jawline, and keep sagginess on the neck and chest areas at bay. Put it this way: if you want a swan neck  that you can show off, rather than a turkey neck you want to cover up, this is the cream to try. Oh, and it feels lovely too – a luxurious, comforting moisturiser which is a pleasure to use just before bed.
