ESPA's Optimal Skin Pro-Serum, a favourite of a 74-year-old shopper who says her skin looks so good she goes without makeup, is included in a four-piece Bestsellers Collection now priced at £35 instead of £60 with the exclusive code ESPABESTGIFT. The offer also includes free delivery.
The collection brings together products designed to cleanse, hydrate and brighten the complexion, with travel-friendly sizes that let shoppers try the range before committing to full-sized products. It is described as a 'radiance-enhancing and revitalising collection'.
What's in the ESPA Bestsellers Collection
The set includes the Optimal Skin Pro-Cleanser, normally £10 for a 30ml bottle on its own. This 3-in-1 formula works as a cleanser, gentle exfoliator and face mask, and it is said to help remove makeup, daily impurities and dull skin cells. ESPA says 95% of people agreed it left their skin feeling soft.
Then there is the Optimal Skin Pro-Serum, which is normally £58. The lightweight serum is designed to hydrate, soothe and brighten the skin. The brand says it is ideal for skin that feels dry, dull, tired or sensitive.
Also included is the Optimal Skin Pro-Moisturiser (30ml), a travel-sized version of the formula whose standard 55ml size retails for £53 and is designed to replenish moisture and leave skin feeling refreshed. Lastly is the Isotonic Hydra Gel Eye Masks (one pair), which are normally £6 and provide a quick boost of hydration to help tired-looking eyes appear fresher.
Shopper reviews and alternatives
Shoppers have rated the ESPA products highly, with one person saying: "I am 74 and have been using ESPA for at least 10 years now. This is one of my favourite products. I use it after cleansing my face morning and night. The smell and consistency is really lovely... my face just drinks it in and the good news is that you only need a small amount. My skin glows after putting it on and it makes me feel younger. Sometimes my skin looks so good I go without makeup. Thank you ESPA."
Another added: "I absolutely love this. It makes my skin feel like a baby's bottom. So soft and smells gorgeous."
Some did disagree, however, with one person saying: "Don't notice much of a difference as a face wash itself, but when I used it as a mask and let it sit for about 15 minutes, I found my skin feeling smoother and more moisturised."
Overall, most people were happy. For example, this shopper said: "If you haven't yet tried this, I would urge you to do so, especially if your face is dulling and needs some TLC! This must be my third bottle in approximately two years. I always had horrendously greasy skin in my younger years, but since menopause, my skin became dull and felt like it was under siege. With this serum, my face feels like it is fully nourished and glowing in my 60s."
Alternatively, there is the Drunk Elephant The Littles set for £65 from SpaceNK. This set contains six mini products of cleansers, creams and other products from the brand to cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate and brighten the skin. Over at QVC, there is the Elemis 3 Piece Pro-Collagen Double Cleanse and Nourish Collection for £57, which includes the Energising Marine Cleanser and Cleansing Balm for a double cleanse, plus a choice of the iconic Marine Cream or Ultra-Rich Cream, the site says.
