Face creams: Try something a little richer
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It's easy to find a face cream that works and stick with it for years, but the occasional change in routine can be as good as a holiday for your skin. As well as needing different properties as the seasons change – now's the time to reach for something a little richer to prepare for the central heating onslaught – as your skin gradually ages, its needs will change.
The level of hyaluronic acid in your skin will decline as you get older, so this is an ingredient to look out for as it will re-plump skin that's beginning to flag.
