ROAD TESTING THE DECREE NIGHT TIME CLEANSER AND SERUM

Today I'm going to wax lyrical about a new cleanser and night serum that I've been road testing this past week. Both products from Decree, the doctor-led award winning skincare line that's designed to make your skincare routine easier and more effective.

Founded by Dr Anita Sturnham, a GP specialising in Dermatology. Like with most things I've come to appreciate that with skincare, consistency is key - a good routine is the bedrock of excellent skin health and visible results. I think Amazon has made us spoiled in many areas. We need everything yesterday. But things like body definition, and skin care, doesn't arrive at your door within 48 hours. It's routine, it's good living, it's about making good decisions on a regular basis. (He says just finishing a second slice of homemade carrot cake. I am nothing if not inconsistent). 

Let me walk you through some of the products I've been sent. 

Decree Deep Cleanse (PM) £55

A hard-working cleanser is needed in the evening to marry deep pore cleaning with gently daily exfoliation. A cleanser before bed should be something they teach you at school no? The importance of getting the city grime expunged before it has a chance to take residence on your bed sheets should be numero uno on the curriculum, then Maths, then Physics then change a car tyre, tie a Windsor knot, iron a shirt, stitch an open wound, do a shoulder roll from a moving car and so on. I digress. 

Deep Cleanse is a fruit acid based, detoxifying clay cleanser with ingredients such as Lactic acid, Salicylic acid, Sulphur and Zinc to do just this. Rich in hydrating ingredients including Rose Water, Glycerin, Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, Squaline and Fatty acids, this PM cleanser also ensures skin stays moisturised. 

Decree Treat Tincture (PM) £130

Follow the cleansing step with Treat Tincture, Decree's bestselling night serum. The formula is packed with youth-enhancing activities and hydrators, and with continued use it smooths wrinkles, strengthens and plumps the skin and reduces pigmentation.

This is a perfect tonic after the deep cleanse. It makes me feel good going to bed knowing I've done my face a favour. It crowns a day, no matter how bad it may have been, the importance of a good skincare regime especially before bed, is made all the more enjoyable knowing I've got the right tools. 

Ingredients also include an age-defying Apple Stem Cell blend, a Retinoid complex, Squalene, Hyaluronic Acid, and Alpha Arbutin. The dropper is also precisely dosed to deliver the perfect amount of serum.
